First ponytail

I came home from work this week and Ell had her first ponytail. I was so surprised by how old she looks. Not a little baby anymore. I have a full blown toddler in my house:)

12 month check up

Healthy and happy happy happy! Ell is a social butterfly. She was chatting it up with the nurses after her shots. Here she is hanging out in the waiting room with her dad. Fun times...

Happy Birthday to Miss Ellison. This year has been awesome. Ellison has learned to walk and is on the move. Here she is at her party with some dear friends. Ell LOVED her cupcake....

1st Christmas

Ellison's first Christmas was a lot of fun. She traveled to Amarillo for Christmas Eve with my family and then we were off to the ranch for Christmas Day with the Lasley's. Our drive to the ranch was a little more adventurous than planned. A blizzard hit us on 287 and stayed with us for about 2 hours. Unfortunately, Ell didn't get to see any of the snow because it was 5am and she was asleep. Oh well, maybe next year.

10 months

We can't believe 10 months has already gone by! We are having such a blast with Ellison and watching her personality come to life. Ellison is such a lover and a biter. She snuggles in real tight and then clamps down with her 7 teeth. 5 are out and 2 are poking through which hurts like crazy. I have bite marks all over me. ELL LOVES meat as I have talked about before. Really she just loves to eat:) She also loves to laugh and smile. Here she is standing next to the Lasley Tower from our wedding. We love loving ELL.
