New Milestone!

7 Weeks old!!!

Look at this face and those cheeks.






Mom, seriously I don't want to wear this headband.












I TOLD YOU GET IT OFF ME!!!













Oh, I am so over this!









See I tell ya, she can look like me sometimes =)

Passie Time!!!

That's right Ellie has upgraded to a real passie. She is using the 'nuk' passie when she needs some soothing. So much easier since these stay in the mouth and suctioned to her face. She doesn't keep this in all day. She is picky about when she wants it and the rest of the time she soothes herself. This weather is feeling so wonderful. I have had fall fever SO BAD that I have wanted to change my flag outside, start working on Halloween decorations and change my decorations inside the house to leaves, orange, brown colors. I am a geek I know but as much as people LOVE summer, I LOVE the fall time the best.

What would we do...

What would we do without our families. I could not imagine not having
our parents and siblings in our lives. Steve and I are truly blessed.
I want to say thank you to Nana and Granny for coming to my rescue. Allowing
me to sleep in our bed, take naps at your house in the middle of the day while
taking care of our precious daughter. I am so thankful she has BOTH of you
to love on her, sing to her and spoil her as you both do. Being a mom is
the hardest job I have ever had since I started working at the age of 14.

This is definitely not a cashier job, a pizza maker or a receptionist job etc.
It makes me realize how hard you both worked to raise both Steve and I.
I now have a new light on being a parent. Thank you both again
for taking time out of your day to help. I enjoy the sleep overs =)

Almost 1 month old....

Love this face!!! Chubby lovin.












Ellie is getting so long.












She has such a cute pug nose right now and little chinny chin chin.









Daddy makes me feel all better when I just can't go to sleep.








Mom, turn that flash OFF!
