This sweet girl, also wants to name this next baby...'Poopy'

Big news is....we are having a baby! Baby #2 is due the first week of September. My sweet little girl wants to call him/her 'Poopy'....that is totally normal, right?

Daddy & Elle Date to the Bronx Zoo

Elle and Daddy date

Bronx Zoo

We are trying to be better about taking Elle on dates. Since we bought a Zoo membership, which gets us into the Central Park Zoo, the Bronx Zoo, Prospect Zoo and the NY Aquarium we spend a lot of time there. Mathew and Elle went to the Bronx Zoo for the first time. The Zoo is surprisingly huge! Mathew and Elle had a GREAT time and Elle loved all of the animals.

 Elle loved these little monkeys and hasn't stopped talking about them.

Mommy & Elle Date to American Girl Doll Cafe and the CP Zoo

Mommy and Elle Date

American Girl Doll Cafe and Central Park Zoo

I took Elle on a Mommy/Daughter date to meet up with one of my favorite people from Utah (Emily W. and girls). We went to the American Girl Doll Cafe on 5th Ave. It was absolutely darling! If you don't bring/take an AG doll with you, they take you to an area to pick out a doll and bring the doll and highchair over to you so that your doll can sit with you while you have lunch. The even bring over a darling little cup and saucer for the doll. Elle was in heaven and loved every second of it. Surprisingly the food was very good (I had the quiche). 

 

 Elle's meal - mass quantity for a 3 year old!

 the dessert - a flower pot with chocolate pudding and a little flower stuck inside, a heart shape piece of cake and a flower shaped cookie.
