Valentine's Day and some other things...

Valentine's Day outfit. (Actually the vest and shirt were a Christmas gift from Pop.)
In stroller, going to daddy's work.
She had a lot to say to daddy once she saw him.
A rare occasion, watching TV (Duke vs Boston College, actually) with daddy.
Looking under the sofa for her basketball. I guess Duke inspired her.
"Mommy, where is my ball?"
She gets so excited about her bath. She's standing on her tiptoes and squealing to get in.

For Valentine's Day, Ellis and I took some cookies to Vimal's work and then had lunch with daddy. Everyone at Vimal's work just loves Ellis and she, of course, enjoys all the attention that she gets there. But don't worry, Vimal and I also had a babysitter that night and we were able to go out and celebrate Valentine's day together which was really nice.

For those of you that know us well, you are probably surprised to see a TV on in our house while Ellis is awake. The truth is we are trying to not let Ellis watch TV for at least the first two years of her life. However, we have made two exceptions to this rule: the inauguration of our 44th president and Duke basketball. Vimal is a huge Duke fan, always has been (though I know a few friends who read this who aren't going to like this fact) so whenever a good game or March madness comes around our no TV rule heads out the door. In truth, Ellis doesn't seem to care to watch the TV even when it is on, but she did sit in daddy's lap for a few minutes to cheer Duke on with him. But then, she was off, searching under the couch for her own basketball and wanting to play.

The last picture is of Ellis waiting to get in the bathtub. She LOVES bath time. Whenever she hears the water turn on she comes scrambling from wherever she is in the house and squeals to get in. It's really adorable. I love the picture of her, standing on her tiptoes and itching to jump in. Too funny...
