"With this rattle I shall rule them all!"
Elliott showing Samuel how his toy works.
May I have some crackers? I took the liberty of going ahead and opening the box for you.

Learning some rhythm with the Fresh Beat Band

Monkey Jamies mean it is bedtime.

Monkey onesie means Little Buddy playtime

Labor Day

Some serious concentration is going on here... Her cute little shoulder shrug
Watching out the window at PopPop
Being all kinds of silly with the curtain

That PopPop sure is taking a long time...How else am I supposed to get my candy?

Needing some book reading action: Moon Dance and Guess How Much I Love You

Playing with monkey cymbals while Taran plays the clarinet.

Just add a fez...

Mr Man slept through all the hullabaloo

MeMe seems concerned about the reverse digestion going on here

Always so serious

Daddy's BBQ Buddy

Playing at MeMe and PopPop's House

Elliott went over to play with Taran and Caleb for a few hours while MeMe and PopPop went to go get some fresh from the garden veggies.

She was really into some independent pool time and kept trying to get out of her float. You aren't quite ready yet, Tiny. She loves her Caleb!!Always with the pointy finger... "What's that?"

Daddy isn't sharing his toys.

She is paddling away from the 'rain'.

Now Daddy is throwing a fit because Elliott won't share.

Her Monkey Mullet gets more impressive by the day. What I love is that she has an undercoat just like the cat that takes forever to dry. I am thinking that she will have thick Barckley hair!!

Playing with one of Taran and Caleb's old toys. I had forgot how ANNOYING it was. "Do you want to be a VTech star, well grab the mich and sing along!"

She kept clapping and dancing along with the music.

Thank you Taran for being Elliott's DJ!! (Taran is even wearing headphones like a real DJ.)

The girls are relaxing in the bean bag chair and watching Go Diego Go. We learned about penguins in this episode.

"What else can I scatter about MeMe's clean living room?"

Caleb helped her out with her favorite toy...the shape ball. She is so assertive when she wants to play with it. She will shove it at you repeatedly and yell if you do not yield to her shape ball needs.

Looking more and more like Daddy.

"Wait. What do you think you are doing?"

"I'll show you how it is done!"

She looks comfortable.

(Yes, she had chocolate all over her onesie. What can I say? The girl loves brownies!)

Daddy is going to get you.

Waiting for MeMe and PopPop to make it home.
