First game of Candy Land

Ellie's been asking to play Candy Land lately, so today I caved and got it out for her. She was SO EXCITED to be playing a game like her older friends from child care! She understood most of the rules and even won the game. Our baby's growing up!

Introducing Sonja

Today Ellie's been obsessed with this doll she's had since she was 7 months old. Ellie named the doll Sonja (from this book) and has carried her everywhere, talking to Sonja like she's a real baby.

Remember this hat?
