8.5 months old

8.5 months old and finally crawling!!!

Ellie is now on the move and enjoys

being able to get where wants by crawling

instead of rolling.

The spring weather is setlling in.

Mommy, Ellie and Aunt Sabrina took

a trip to the park a few days ago.

Ellie loved the swings and tried to eat a

few leaves but decided they didnt taste

very good :D

El has also found a new love for water!!

Shes always loved taking a bath && now

knows she likes to swim in the pool!!

Ellie and mommy and Aunt sabrina went

swimming at Aunt Sam's school while grandma

video taped us. Very fun experience!!

Can't wait for summer .. she's going to be

mommy's little fishy!!

Spring is coming!!

Spring is coming and we've got spring

fever!! Mommy and Ellie went for a

walk yesterday, although it was only across the street to

grandmas house, it was the longest

walk we've ever been on since El waswobbling holding on to mommys fingers.

8 months old and still not crawling :\

Ellie absolutely loves to be on her

feet!! If she standing and you pick her up, shes yell at

you. Its funny how babies learn how to get your

attention.

We've completely skipped baby food and eat

lots of scrambled eggs for breakfast along with raviolis and

yogurt for lunch.

Getting bigger and growing stronger!!

Ellie now weighs 23lbs and is strong enough

to pull her self up in her crib :D Its only a

matter of time before shes climbing out of

the crib!!!

little miss sassy pants

Ellie has always had her own personallity

but even more so now. If you're doing

somthing she doesn't like, boy does she

let you know! Shes a very serious baby and

takes the time to "stare you down" if she doesnt

know you before she gives you her approval.

Being at home with mommy all day everyday has

made her very attached. Doesnt like to be far

from momma at all.

We're still working on the baby

food, slowly but surely. Great grandma

gayle fed her some chocolate pudding

a few nights ago and she opened her mouth

right up. She knows healthy food from tastey

food already :]

Although beany is not quite crawling, she does

get on her knees and rock, so we're getting

closer!!!

moving on up

We are gradually working our way up the ladder of learning.

Ellie is now 6 months old and is not only sitting up but

also just learned how to spit bubbles!! Comes in handy

exspecially when mom is trying to feed her!! We've started

the solids but ellie isnt too keen on eating them quite yet.

Ellie loves animals,loves to "pet", more like "pull" their fur.

Ellie beans grandma wendi baught her a stuff dog that

is life size at macys and she loves it!!!

The New Year

5 months old and already 17 lbs.

Ellie is enjoying exploring her world

from a different perspective. She has

just recently began sitting up with a

little assistance from her

boppy :] Just last night, she rolled from

her back to her belly with no help

from mommy!!! Along with these new

excitements, we have also started trying out

SOLIDS. Although she loves her new high

chair from Santa, she hates the food we

feed her while shes in it.

Our family enjoyed her first Christmas

very much. She got a lot of

new toys and adorable clothes!!

We look forward to what the new year

may bring us, and wish to you all a happy

new year.
