Happy 2008!!

I learned how to give kisses in December.

Go Packers! We'll get 'em next year.

My first Christmas present!!

Me and my noble canine.

Thomas and me playing.

I love the swings!! Wheee!



Well, it's been awhile since I have posted. I now have 4 teeth (all on the bottom) and just this morning I began to crawl forward. (I've had the backwards crawl mastered for a long time, now I want to see the world head on!) As you can see, I'm a very happy, giggly, and smiley baby. I'm also a big ham for the camera. It was nice being able to go to WI for Christmas, even if it was a short trip.

Daddy was promoted to group leader at work. It will mean a little more travel, but I'm still small enough to fit in his suitcase, so I think I'll be going with him! It's a great accomplishment for him, especially since he's so young (even though he seems super old to me!). Well, I hope that everyone is doing well. I hope that people are still checking my blog. I love messages!

Love, Ellie-Belly

Pictures with Santa

On Sunday we went to the Worthington Mall for pictures with Santa. I was so amazed with the experience I could only stick out my tongue. No smiles for Santa yet. I hope you enjoy the pictures! Love, Ellie

6 month pictures...finally!

Things are going great! At my 6 month check-up, I was 14 lbs, 8 oz and 24.5 inches long, which only puts me in the 25%, but I'm proportional and still quite chunky!! I'm so happy and I can't stop smiling and giggling. I am still getting around via rolling, but I can also "crawl" backwards. I love my fruits and veggies...I am an excellent eater. We had a great Thanksgiving...we all have a lot to be thankful for! We are looking forward to Christmas and being able to spend it with our family! I hope to see many of you over the holidays! Love, Ellie

Daddy was seeing if I could fly in my duck costume

I love kisses from Daddy!!

Here I am with Daddy at my first swimming lesson. We're going down the lazy river on a noodle!

Here is Daddy catching me as I tip over into the water!

I was a duck for Halloween!

This is my friend Cole chillin' with me. He is Mommy's friend Jessica's baby. He is almost 3 months younger than me, but 1 lb heavier and 2 inches longer!!!

Here we are with Cole's Mom and Dad, Jessica and Dave.

Another Halloween picture.

WI visit, Halloween, swimming lessons, etc.

I will have to add more photos later...it's my bed time and Blogger is being difficult. Check back tomorrow!

Hi everyone! I was 5 months old on the 7th of October. No major changes to report. I am so close to crawling. Mommy and Daddy had better Ellie-proof the house soon, or they'll be scrambling when I get my wheels. I can roll from 1 end of the room to another if they let me, so I guess I can get into stuff now if I wanted to! We went to Wisconsin last week for Mommy's cousin Amy's funeral. It was very sad. She was only 37 years old and had just lost her own baby, Neil, while she was 7 months pregnant with him. They are both up in heaven now, but we really miss them here. May they rest in peace.
