From the very beginning, Miles has loved TV. Nature or nurture? Dunno. But here's a little shot of him today watching Backyardigans. (Sorry for the blurry pic. Blame the camera phone.)

Sleepy Girl
The other day Elly woke up at 5:30. For us that's crazy cuz no one in our house gets up before 7:00, and she usually doesn't get up until 8:30 or so. Anyway, after running around like she was on drugs for several hours, she just crashed on the floor. Seriously, one second she was awake and going 100 mph. The next second she was out.
Family Portrait
Elly's a pretty awesome artist. Here's one of her latest pieces. This one features figures with skirts/dresses to signify that they are women. I'm sure she picked it up from me, cuz I just do stick figures. My favorite part is that Miles is so small he doesn't get a real body. And where are my arms? Good thing my hair looks good, though.

Elly Quotes
This one is actually from my niece Gabriella, not Elly, who is just about Elly's age. She was talking to my Mom (all the grandkids call her Mima) while looking at the back of the cover for This Is It.
Gabby: Mima, why is this lady a witch?
Mima (looking at the DVD cover): Oh, that's not a witch...or a lady. That's Michael Jackson.
Gabby: Oh, he looks like a witch.

Elly Feeding Miles
Miles has started eating rice cereal. Today Elly got to feed him. They both had a great time.
Elly Ballerina
Elly had her first dance class this past year- ballet. My good friend, Emily, taught the class. Elly's best friend ever, Hailey (Emily's daughter), was in the class. They learned all sorts of ballet steps and really got quite a bit better throughout the class. Elly's favorite step is called "échappé sauté", but she also loved Arabesque, Plié, and Bourrée turn, among others. Elly loved going to ballet. I think some of that was because of ballet and most of that was because of Hailey. Here are some pictures from their last class:
Since it was the last class "Miss Emily" gave them certificates of completion. Elly LOVES Emily.
After the class, the girls took some time to play with "Broth"...he LOVED it.

My Little Gamer
Lacy recently posted a link to this "game" that Elly loves to play. She makes banana splits and chocolate cakes. I had to capture this to show how great she is at using the computer. Toward the end you can see her moving the arrow around with the touch pad and changing her ice cream flavors.

Elly's Turn
Elly wanted me to take some pictures of her during Miles' 4 month session. She's such a character! We had just pulled her hair out of rags to make curls for her ballet pictures and rehearsal that day.
4 Months Old!
So, this post is a little late. But, when Miles turned 4 months old, we moved and it was a bit crazy. That's my excuse. He'll be 5 months old next week; hopefully I'll be more prompt posting those pictures.
We had a pretty good photo session in our new house. Elly was really interested in being part of it. It started out pretty good:
Elly helped get Miles in a happy, smiley, mood:
Then this happened:
But, then this happened:
And everything was alright again:
And then this happened:
I love my job.
