On the road again . . . again


Tomorrow we are headed off to Seattle for a visit. Ellie is going to be the most seasoned traveller!

She's already been to 3 states before she even 3 months old!

Ring Play





Ellie's 3 month milestone is to grab and hold onto a toy. We have been practicing this with a black and white ring. Most of the time she holds onto the ring for a few minutes, bangs herself in the face with it then lets go.

Napa Valley

Our trip to Napa Valley was a whirlwind. We left at 5 am on Friday and got home last night at 11:30pm!!! Ellie was a trooper through it all! She was passed around to all the adoring ladies and luckily never made a peep during the speeches.



One of the events was a wine tour and fabulous lunch at the Francis Ford Coppola winery. It was beautiful! And once again I'm SO glad Ellie loves her sling. It made it so much easier to pack her around all weekend.

Early Morning

We're off to Napa Valley for a conference for Drew's work. Let's hope Ellie's good mood for traveling continues!! I'll post pics when we return on Monday.

Chatty Baby

Ellie seems to really like the sound of her own voice!! I love this video of Ellie and Drew having a chat.

Doctor Visit!!


Today, Ellie visited her doctor for her 2 month check up (a little late because we were still on Christmas holiday when she turned 2 months)
Everything was great!! She weighs 11lbs 3oz and is 23 1/4 inches long (that's in the 50th percentile for height and weight)
She is meeting all her milestones like smiling and cooing (but we knew that already!)
Unfortunatly, she also had to have immunizations, which meant 3 shots!! She definitely let the nurse know she didn't like her one bit by a swift high-pitched scream!! Luckily, she calmed quickly and by the picture above you can tell she didn't hold a grudge!
