Book Worm

Elsie loves to cuddle up with a good book or books. There have been nights when she falls asleep with a book on top of her head. Who needs cuddly, soft, stuffed animals when you have a room full of books to keep you company!

Keeping Cool

Fans of the Erickson and Parks family blogs (I'm talking to you, Jarvis) will have to forgive me for posting the same pictures Katie posted on her website a few weeks ago. BUT, I had to show off how cute the girls are in the pool and give a special shout out to one of our favorite play date friends...Henry! Henry is the adorable guy in the hat and we are lucky to hang out with him and his fab mom, Katie, once a week. One of these times I'll bring a camera and won't have to borrow Katie's photos!

Elsie spent some time dumping water on Margot's head, which Margot loved!
The face Margot is making is priceless. I think she looks like a cranky old timer.

Como Zoo

We left the burbs and traveled to the big city to meet up with a few of Elsie and Margot's favorite peeps (Gabe, Stella, Audrey, and Violet) and two of my favorite ladies (Stacey and Julie). The little people were much more entertained by the HUGE puddles and each other than by the animals. Oh, the rides were a big hit too! Here's Margot watching the big kids on the rides. She can't wait to join them!
I was happy to see that Audrey didn't text or talk on her cell phone while driving with Elsie as her passenger.

Gabe, Elsie, and Audrey strike a pose.

"Mom, please stop taking my picture so I can see Sparky"

Clean Up on Aisle Erickson

This picture doesn't even come close to showing how messy these two ladies were at dinner last night. Margot can not get through a meal with half of it being in her hair. Good thing they like take baths.

Get Me Out of Here!

The window is our new favorite play spot. It looks like the girls are trying to tell us they want out! It is really funny to be outside and see these little heads peering out the window.

Margot Madness

Let me tell ya folks, Miss Margot keeps us on our toes. As you can see she is too cute! However, she is into everything...such as cords, steps, toilets, outlets, and still loves pulling Elsie's hair. She has an odd crawl, but I don't think she'll be using it for too much longer. Standing and cruising are two of her new hobbies. I am loving this age and we are haivng a blast with her!

Table For One

Elsie was quick to catch onto the idea of eating outdoors. What a good little Minnesotan!
