Warm days!

So we've had a few warm days this March which we have taken full advantage of!  Ellie LOVES playing outside and all the freedom that comes with it!  We had our first really warm day (80's) March 6th which was followed by 30's a few days later, but we still enjoyed it!  So we pulled out the shorts (skort is Ellie's case) and went to meet "dadda" for lunch.  After eating, we spent some time outside running around.  Ellie LOVED it! When she was done she was flushed so I had to get some pictures!    

        

Ellie sportin' the skort:

Notice the beautiful cracker in the foreground:

And here I got a pic of Ellie pretending to talk on the phone, yes she is using her shoulder to hold the phone up (no hands)!

These are some more Gymboree pics but this time Ellie and Gabe are matching! Yes, it's on purpose. The Tao's were at the Coca Cola factory in Atlanta and got Ellie and Gabe matching onsies! So cute! :)

Ellie on the trampoline:

I like this one.  Ellie pointing and looking at herself in the mirror and Gabe with the "what is she doing now?" look on his face! :)

Last fall (I think) we got a bike with a baby seat from my uncle Andy and we are finally putting it to use now that the weather is warmer and we have a bike helmet that will fit Ellie!

Getting ready to go:

Since Ellie was going to be at daycare on St. Patrick's Day, we decided it was pretty important that she wear green.  Ok, by "we" I mean "I".  We quickly realized Ellie has NO green, so we went out and got her a green dress ($6 at Walmart!).  I wasn't going to see her in her dress, so we had a St. Patty's Day dress rehearsal the night before and took pictures!  Apparently, ALL the little kids at daycare wore green and Joey could not understand this!  "Why do non-Irish, non-catholics wear green!?"  What? Do they not wear green on St. Patrick's Day in Taiwan? But, it must be said that He, himself wore green on St. Patrick's Day! (ok, he may have thought he was putting on brown that morning but yay! for colorblindness!)  And yes, I wore green to work along with most of my coworkers! :)

Caught red-handed reading a book in the corner.  So cute! :)
