Playing Dress Up

When I packed for Christmas vacation back in December, I thought I would take her smallest outfits because she would probably grow out of them before we got home. Well, she must of had a major growth spurt because she grew out of them in about the first week we were there!!!

So we actually had to buy her some new clothes!!! Can you believe it?? The kid with tons of clothes!

So today I got out her 3-6 month clothes and went through them. She has so many cute outfits. Can't wait to play with my little doll.

Suds & Bubbles

Ellie is just so much fun to play with. Bath time has certainly become playtime.

She is starting to pull up her legs, it won't be long till she's nibbling on her toes.

Ellie looks a little unsure of her hairstyle.

So far Ellie loves to sit on my legs during bath time but she's still a little unsure of being more submerged. Tonight she liked it though and even gave a little smile while she was swimming.

Giggles & Smiles

Ellie and I arrived home today. She was an angel on the plane again. We are happy to be home and Drew missed us a lot! She is going to a seasoned traveller quickly because we are headed to Napa, CA in 2 weeks and back to Seattle in 3 weeks, then up to Campbell River to meet the rest of the family. Good thing she is happy to just hang out with her parents even if that is on an airplane :)

More Fabulous Family

This week Ellie met more of her cousins, Owen and Caitlin and her Uncle Bill and Aunty Muriel. While they were all here we went down to my cousin Anne's for another visit with the kids.

Caitlin and Quade snuggling Ellie.

Quade calls Ellie . . . Ellie Belly.

Roddie Lee is only 10 years old but she was a born nurturer.

Hannah and Quade playing hair salon. Check out Quades cool doo!

Belated Santa Pic

Had to post her Santa pic!!! Isn't it cute!

Ellie is Cooing!!!

Ellie is 2 months old. She is growing and changing so much.

She weighs about 11lbs now! Just in the last couple days she has started to coo and make cute sounds. She looks so surprised those high pitched noises are coming out of her mouth.

She is sleeping about 2-3 hours at a time at night and loves to be held and snuggled.

This video is a little long and the best part is at the beginning but I didn't know how to edit it :)

(Sorry for the sparse postings but we're still out here in Seattle and have been SO busy.)

Fabulous Friends and Family

We have had so much fun showing Ellie off to our family and friends . . .

My cousin, Quade (4 yrs.), was so excited to see Ellie. He was counting down the days until he could come and see her.

Future baby-sitter, Roddie Lee (10 yrs.), was so good with Ellie.

My friends from nursing school have started having babies! Here is Karen with Ellie, her daughter Alister (19 mo.) and Darcy's new baby, Lucy (4 mo.).

My best friend, Sarah, couldn't wait to get her hands on Ellie.

This was the cutest photo-shoot yet! Ellie and Lucy sat together so nice. Lucy even gave Ellie's hand a taste. Can't wait till they can have play-dates together.
