1 Year Old!

Ellie turned 1 on December 7th, and we had a fun little Birthday party for her on the 5th. She had a great time seeing everyone, opening presents, and eating a cupcake for the first time!

Some things she's doing at 12 Months:

-says Mama, Yum, Gone-Gone, No-No, Wow, Dog (may have said Dada a few times :)
-can stand on her own but hasn't taken a real step yet
-has 10 teeth and working on #11 (these last ones have been pretty mean to her)
-loves music and dancing
-likes to try to sing along with songs
-plays hide and seek
-knows how to rock her babies and give them lovin (we prompt her to do this by singing "Rock-a-Bye Baby")
-is so attached to her bunny blankie and paci (there is no way she will go to sleep without both)
-would prefer to eat crackers, cheese, fruit and chips but we and trying to get her to eat more meat and veggies
-trying to get her to like whole milk but she is still taking her bottles....we plan on weaning these over the next couple of weeks
-she never stops moving EVER and is so busy all the time!!!

We love you sweet baby girl and are having the best time watching you grow up!

Christmas Card Pics!

Here are a few pics I took for our Christmas card...I didn't include the winner, so you will just have to wait and see :) We are busy getting ready for Ellie's 1st Birtday! I cannot believe that she is about to turn 1! What happened to my little baby?

11 Months!

Ellie turned 11 month's old last weekend! She never sits still and is so busy all the time! Lately, she has been into her babies and likes pushing them around in their stroller. She has also been eating a lot more table food. Macaroni and cheese, waffles, and mandarin oranges are her favorites so far. Won't be long until we will be celebrating her 1st Birthday!

Busy Little Bee!

Here is our little bee on her first Halloween! Of course she would not sit still for one second to let me get a good picture of her...she is way too busy for that!

Harper is really thrilled about wearing her bee costume!

Soggy antennas from chewing on them :)

Pumpkins!

We took Ellie out to the Bradford Store today and they have the cutest barn with pumpkins on the porch. She wasn't really interested in smiling for the camera but really liked playing with all the little pumpkins and looking around at the scenery! Oh, and Re made her fun fall dress that she is wearing :) Happy Fall Y'all!

"Are we done yet?"

10 Months!

Ellie turned 10 months old today! I say this every month, but I cannot believe how fast it is going by! She is into everything these days and very fast at crawling and pulling up. Also, she can now climb the stairs! She keeps us on our toes :)

First time eating mac and cheese! She loved it!

"Would you quit taking my picture while I'm trying to eat!"

All dressed up and ready to go to Paige's Birthday party!

Quick temper tantrum before we left...

"I don't understand why you won't let me climb these stairs!"

First Sucker!

Ellie got her first sucker yesterday when we went to get her flu shot. I let her finish eating it when we got home...then I had to take it away after she bit off a chunk of it. A huge meltdown occurred after that! I felt like such a mean mommy :(
