Recent Accomplishments

It's been a while since I posted and several exciting things have happened. Ella had her shots last Thursday, which was not fun, but she was a very brave girl and only cried for about 1 minute. Then she smiled at everyone and was fine. Later that day she rolled over from her belly to her back. She is SO close to rolling over from her back to her belly. She just can't get that one arm out of her way. The doctor gave us the go ahead to start veggies. Ella is now loving her sweet potatoes with her cereal at night. She also loves to blow raspberries, preferably when she has a mouth full of sweet potatoes and can get them all over mommy. She is teething like crazy. I bet we'll have a tooth in a couple more weeks. Last night she started sticking her tongue out and putting it behind her bottom lip. Jon says she looks like a little old man with his dentures out. She also loves to hold onto your fingers and stand up.
Here are her stats from the last doctor's visit:
Weight: a little over 15 lbs. --- 60th percentile
Length: 26.5 inches --- 95th percentile (she's very tall for her age)

We went to Birmingham on Saturday to see Mimi and Granddaddy and to get some Christmas shopping done. Ella loved seeing them both. She had a great time. Only 2 weeks until Christmas!!!!

Here are a few cute pictures of the monkey!

Happy Birthday Hannah!!

Hannah turned 1 year old on Friday, November 30th! I can't believe it's been a whole year. She is such a joy and a blessing. I don't remember what our lives were like before Miss Hannah Grace made her appearance. I can't wait for her and Ella to be the best of friends. I have a feeling that Amy and I are going to have our hands full.
Happy Birthday sweet Hannah. Auntie Rae loves you very very much!!
