8 Months & More Snow!!

8 Months!!!!

We took Ellie outside in the snow for her 8 month picture. We got a kick out of these pics, she looks just like her elephant!! Thanks Uncle Brian for my warm & cute outfit - it sure came in handy on this snow day : ) We had a lot more snow but we waited until the next day when it was warmer to take the babe out.
Whoa!!!!

Lovebug checking out her 1st snowman

So cute!!!!!

Winter Wonderland - we had ~3inches, beautiful!

I love the snow & my outfit!!!

Ellie has been eating some finger foods. We tried cut up bananas but she was not a fan. She does like the Gerber puffs, she really doesn't get too many in her mouth. We usually find them stuck to her!! She is putting one in her mouth in this pic. Check out her crazy hair, it sticks straight up all the time!

Eating again - she is packing on the lbs!

Bathing like a big gal!!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Ellie loves her family & friends sooooooooo much!!! xoxoxo

Waving, Teeth, & Army Crawl!!!

Our little girl is changing so fast!! I should have posted these great accomplishments as they happened but I have been slacking on the blogging - sorry! About three weeks ago she started waving to herself & us in the mirror. It is so cute, she gets very excited when we are in front of a mirror. She is starting to experiment with waving when we are not in front of the mirror. Her first teeth have broke through the skin, this happened about two weeks ago. I felt something sharp on my finger & to my surprise there were her first bottom teeth pushing through. Wish I could get a picture but it it is hard to position the camera at that angle without her becoming very concerned. Last but not least, Ellie has been getting around by army crawling. She has been doing this for a few weeks now!! It is funny to watch, she just drags her body by using one arm to propel her forward. Just this weekend she has been really getting on all fours, so maybe the real crawl is coming soon. Get ready Mommy & Daddy! -note to self : ) The bug has also been pulling herself up to her knees! She is doing a good job walking as we hold on to her hands, she seems to be very proud of herself when we make it to her destination. More reason to start babyproofing the house now!!

Happy Girl! If you click on the picture, you might be able to see her bottom teeth. If you look closely enough you can see two holes that is where her teeth are coming in : )

On all fours!
Pulling up to her knees!

Standing up on her tip toes! I love this picture!!

Talking things over with Penquin. She loves her penquin - thanks Aunt Em!!!!
