spoon

I'll have to get a picture of Scott's brother, but this one of Ellie makes Scott think of him. Cute and mischievous. David had a wooden spoon he loved playing with and gave you a sweet cute smile with a come here and then bonk your head. Here is Scott giving Ellie a spoon to try out. I'm sure David and Ellie would have gotten along real well :)

laughter

As I was holding Ellie on my lap I was playing with a hand puppet with Catherine. When Catherine would laugh Ellie would laugh. I started doing it to Ellie and she would laugh harder. Here is a small sample of her laughter. I took to long to get the camera out so it's cute but she was really laughing it up, crackling and giggling.

What you don't see :)

Boy did we have a crabby pants on our hands today. I think that she might be pre-teething cause she has all the lovely signs of teething but no sign of a tooth. Our little girl trying to grow up to fast on us! As long as she was being held, standing up, with a binkie or your hand to suck on she was happy.

Good thing there little :)

Well it is true I'm gaining to much weight and I'm unfit and it all boils down to LAZY! I decided that I need to take the girls on a walk for fresh air and exercise. Some day down the road I'll need to invest in a double stroller but for now I just have the one and luckily they are small enough for the both of them to be in it. At one point Ellie dropped her binkie and wasn't to happy about it, Catherine tried to give it to her and told her "here you go" it is cute when she says. Such a sweet heart.

I love breast feeding

She is so silly. It is fun to get that time together. She likes to stare up at me as if she is memorizing my face. In the middle of her feeding she will smile big and laugh and then start to play with me and smile some more it's so cute. She was in such a good mood after she ate that I quickly handed her over to my friend so I could get her giggling on camera. She is too cute!

Our sweet Kangaroo :)

Ellie's got us wrapped around her little finger. We love her so much. She loves to be held. A lot! the snugli is a life saver. I'm training her to sleep on her own not in someones arms so I've been putting her to bed drowsy but not asleep. She cried the first time. After about 10 min my heart couldn't take it any more, and I figured she was hungry too, so I went to go get her, the second the light turned on the crying stop. The second I was looking at her she started to smile and gave me a giggle. It was so cute! Gotta love our little Roo

Elmo

Grandma couldn't help but get Elmo for Ellie for Christmas cause she liked it so much. She said she had to wait until Christmas to open it. Well, I guess they couldn't wait that long and Elle loves it!
