New Pictures

So I uploaded a lot of pictures from our camera and had a few that I wanted to post so there are several new posts this morning so be sure to scroll down. :)
Ellie is taking her morning nap so I thought I would post some of her more recent sleeping pictures...she gets in some of the funniest (and cutest) positions! Yes...we take a lot of pictures of her sleeping and we actually have more than this. Richard keeps saying she is the most photographed baby ever and I am starting to think it is true.

Jump-A-Roo

Here is Ellie in her Jump-A-Roo. She LOVES to spin herself and is starting to figure out how to jump. She always loves a new toy - here are some pictures from her first time in it.

Green Beans!

Ellie started on baby food a couple of weeks ago. So far she is in love with whatever I give her. It is so funny to see her eat and if it is cold (or a new taste) she will shiver and then want more right away. I put the food in the same kind of bowl each time she eats and now she knows that when I get the bowl out of the cabinet she is going to eat. She will put her arms out, wiggle her feet and coo. She loves to eat!
Here are a couple of pictures from her first feeding...before and after. We also have video so I will have Richard work on that.

Pictures

My friend, Alayna, came over last week and took 6 month pictures of Ellie. I made her a huge bow and tutu for some of them and Alayna brought over a few things. I think they all turned out really cute! She is still working on making a CD of all of them, but you can go to her blog at http://therubyjewel.blogspot.com/ and scroll down to see what she has done so far. Alayna is so extremely talented and creative and we can't thank her enough for doing these for us!!

Fun Pictures and Teeth!

Here are a few pictures of Ellie with her new toy - her first sitting toy!!
And I got a good shot of her two bottom teeth!

Happy 6 Months!!

r
I can't believe how fast the past 6 months have gone! Some times I am glad it has gone by fast...some days I never want her to grow up. Either way, she amazes me every single day.

Now that Ellie is 6 months old, she is...
rolling over in any and all directions
sitting up all by herself

She loves to play with...
things that stack
anything she can put in her mouth

A little about Ellie...
She wakes up every morning with a smile on her face
She enjoys playing Peek A Boo (even if you don't hide)
She has the same routine every night - bath, bottle, bed
She sucks her thumb (even though we are against it)
She has two bottom teeth

Happy 6 months, Ellie!
