Ella's Sitting Up!!!

Ella starting sitting up on her own this weekend while we were in TN. She's pretty good at it as long as she doesn't get to much to one side or the other or too much to the back. She's very proud of herself. She's a monkey. Here's a little video of her sitting up tonight after her bath. She's does pretty well and she's enjoying chewing on her brush. It looks like she's propped up against the pillow, but she's not. She's sitting up on her own. Hope you enjoy.

6 Months Old!!

So I'm a terrible mother. I didn't post on her 6 month birthday. I think I'm in denial that she's 6 months old. Half a year has gone by since she came into our lives and I can barely remember what it was like before she was here. She can roll over both ways now and is trying to sit up on her own. She eating baby food now and her favorite is carrots and sweet potatoes. She's the light of our lives. I'll post some pictures at the end of the post.


We're going to TN next weekend to see Jon's parents. We were going to go this weekend, but the threat of snow and dangerous weather scared us away. They were supposed to get about 6 inches.....they got 1/4 of an inch. Isn't that always the way!! I'm excited to go. It's always nice to get up there to see everyone.


Here are some pictures of the bug!! Happy Half Birthday Baby Girl!!!

It's Been a While

It's been a while since I posted. Lots of stuff going on. We went to Kelley's for Christmas. We had so much fun. Ella's Christmas was wonderful and we all really enjoyed being together. Right now I'm sick. Thankfully Jon and Ella haven't contracted whatever virus I have and I hope that they don't because I feel terrible. Ella is growing like a weed. She's getting bigger every day. She's rolling over all the time, just from her back to her stomach. She's only gone from her belly to her back once. Now when she gets on her stomach she gets really mad. Whenever you lay her down on her back she immediantly flips over. It's so cute.

When I put her down for her nap today I layed her on her tummy for the first time to sleep. It made me a nervous wreck and I checked on her every 5 minutes, but she seemed to really like it. She slept for about 3 1/2 hours straight for her nap. Amazing! We may be doing the tummy sleeping for every nap.

I'm going to try to get better about posting more regularly. Things have just been so hectic. I don't even know if anyone reads this. That's ok if no one does. I really do this more for me, so I can remember what goes on in our lives. If you read the blog, leave a comment for me so I know you're reading. It's nice to know if someone's out there.
