Dim Sum is Yum

This weekend we went to China Pearl in Woburn for Dim Sum ... same as Chinatown, but with parking (or so we were told). Elliot might be better with chop sticks than she is with a fork.


Then it was on to the new favorite pass time: climbing on the chest to play with the lights.


Elliot and Mommy went on a date to Christina's for ice cream while Daddy was in SF for a conference.

Then back to Stella Bella for sing along. This time with sunglasses and instruments.


And finally, it seems as though this last picture, might be Elliot's audition tape for COPS.

Children's Museum

Who knew the children's museum could be such fun? OK, so Elliot did not smile for 1 photo, but she had fun...I think.

The Black Beauty Shop Exhibit (their name, not ours). There was a machine to electronically try out all different black hairstyles. Here are the family snapshots.






Next up, Bubble Land! Elliot dons a water smock and is set free to roam in the bubbly goodness. She is a very serious scientist.







Then we crawled under the turtle tank to look up at them.


I am sure that this will not be the first time that Elliot slams her dressing room door in my face.


And now to close with the eating sequence. Elliot has taken to shoving all the food on her plate in her mouth at once. We had to start rationing her bites. The other night, when I stopped her from stuffing her 5th meatball in her mouth, she tried screaming & crying in protest, but had to much food in her mouth to do it. This morning, I caught her stuffing pluots (plum apricots) in her mouth. It was all fun and games...here's the sequence. She sure is proud in the last shot ... moments before she gagged on a bit of skin and then threw up on her tray - you can look. I turned the camera off for that part. The teenage years are going to be fun, no? (sorry they are fuzzy, I could use a photo class!)







Elliot the Unstoppable Eating Machine!

Rub a Dub Dub

Just a couple of weekends hanging around at home and with friends. Check out below Elliot's 2 bottom teeth + 1 on top!


Who dressed this little girl? Well, she picked the shoes. The pajamas and tutu are anybody's guess.


Rub a Dub Dub 2 Girls in a Tub. Elliot was test driving the baby tub with her doll, until she threw her overboard - guess who might have sibling rivalry issues come February?




At Aunt Wendy & Alex's house, Elliot plays with cutie puppy Harley, then goes down the slide with Zoe, hits her first pinata and walks away from the candy rather than fighting for it.






Elliot showed a LOT of love for my Puerto Rican chicken stew recipe!



And finally a triple date ... Elliot rushes the camera below to keep the paparazzi off of her and her new boyfriend Luca.



Bye bye this week!
