Shhhh . . .

Ellie actually laid down in her crib for the first time this week!!

She has been sleeping in her bouncy chair, in the co-sleeper or in bed with us and her crib has been a clothing storage unit. But after cleaning up her room I decided to see if she would nap in it.

She seems to like it! Today she slept in it for 40 minutes! We have a little mirror hanging on the side and when I heard her cooing, I went in and discovered she was laughing at herself.

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.

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.)
