Merry Christmas!

Here are some of Ellie' s Christmas Pictures!

It's been a while!

Sorry for the lack of updates! Ellie is now a teenager.

Ellie's two bottom teeth came in around the first of November, and her top two teeth are coming in! She weighs in a whopping 21 pounds (we obviously starve her) and is a couple weeks shy of 8 months. She does get around now, crawling military style (low to the ground). "Dada" did come out first, but "Mammma" and "UMMa" soon followed.

Growing Fast!

Well... as you can notice, I am not putting as many posts as I have in the past. I have started work, and I lost my camera. No excuses! I will try to post as many as possible! Don't blink, she really grows that fast!!!

1st Auburn Game

Well... not really- it was way too hot, and it was a late game. At least she looked cute! Thanks Elisa and Sean for the cute outfit. WAR EAGLE!

4 Months Old

Ellie is 4 months!
Last check up: 17 pounds, 1 oz
Her personality is coming through- she has so many facial expressions! I will post new pictures very soon!

Visit from Uncle Ray and Aunt Sandi

Uncle Ray and Aunt Sandi from New York visited us last weekend! It was so great to see them and introduce Ellie to them. We can't wait for the reunion next Thanksgiving in Orlando!

Florida Trip

The whole family- Grandma, Grandpa, both uncles (plus one girlfriend- Cherice), Ellie, Mom, and Dad all went down to Destin the second weekend of July. Ellie didn't go down to the beach, she mainly slept in the hotel. She did get out in the sun on Sunday (not really, she was smothered in sun screen, hat, sunglasses, with her legs covered). I just noticed today that her toes were tanned.... so.. maybe she won't be fair afterall.

3 Months!

Ellie started to feed herself...

Ellie is 3 months old- 15+ pounds and laughing. She is a happy baby, only to cry when hungry or needing a diaper change. She starts daycare in two weeks. Grandma is taking care of her 3 days a week, and the rest of the week at Polkadots Daycare Center.

4th of July Celebration

Mathew and Alayna having fun...

Alayna is a great babysitter...

The family went to Ft. Benning last Saturday for their celebration. We met up with Rachael and Alayna.

Riding the bicycle...

Ellie is growing by the minute! Here's her exercise routine she does after every bath (which is fine by me, she wears herself out so I can get some sleep).

Lake Visit

The family went to Lake Martin today- Here is Ellie on the dock, sitting under the shade.

On the boat...


























Daddy catching some air...

More Pictures!

This is another cute outfit that Aunt Tina got for Ellie! I had it in the closet waiting for her to get big enough to wear-- now I am hoping Ellie won't grow out of it in a week!

Dad and E sleeping

8 Hours!!!!

Last night-- Ellie slept 8 hours straight! yeah! We had her two month check up last Monday. She weighed in a whopping 13lbs 12oz and 23 inches long. She had a tough time going to sleep for two nights afterwards. I swear the nurse stabbed her with the needles.

Since she stayed up all night, she slept all day Tuesday (me too).

This is the Bumbo seat. Ellie sort of keeps her head stable enough to use it- thanks Uncle Mogie and Aunt Lauren.

New bath time photo- she likes to grab the washcloth and attempt to eat it.
