October photo shoot

Visiting Great Granddad and Grammy

Tuesday 11/15/11, we went to visit Grammy and Granddad. Ellison enjoys visiting them and also really likes the staff. G & G just love Ellie. It is so wonderful to watch them with her.

9 months

Ellison had her 9 month appointment this week. We are right on target for everything. I don't have the percentiles with me, but E is happy and healthy. Dr. Ramirez told me to start letting her cry back to sleep and since Toby came to this appointment he is holding me to it. So, this week Ellison has woken each night and cried herself back to sleep. Sometimes she cries for 1.5 hours sometimes less. Good thing is that we are sleeping through it:) This week we also started eating dinner. Ellison is enjoying an old family favorite of chicken and rice. My Grammy's recipe to be exact. Very tasty.....

Ranch weekend

Ellison absolutely loves the ranch. I think it is because she gets to ride in the ranch truck with out a seatbelt. Or maybe it is because there are horses and deer running free. Either way, she is very happy here which is a good thing because deer season is upon us.....

Little Miss Peacock -- First Halloween

I am so proud of this little peacock! She wore her feathers well. She never even touched her handband, which by the way I made. Sunday was Toby's 33rd birthday and we spent the day celebrating by toting this little peacock to parties. First we went to Hayes' 1st birthday party. SO much fun. Kelley and Joe have an awesome house with an even more awesome playroom. There were kids everywhere. Fun times. Then we went to the McManus' 2nd annual halloween party. Ellison learned how to mow their lawn and played on the swing. It was a great day!

8 months and counting

It is hard to believe 8 months has already passed by....Ell has two teeth and she is working on more. She is such a happy baby that loves to screech/talk and walk around, with assistance....She loves to smile and take pictures.
