4 Month Check-UP

We visited Dr. Hodges yesterday for Ellie's 4 month check-up. Shots and screaming were involved, but Ellie is healthy and growing weighing in at 14.6 lbs and 25 1/4 in long. We got the go ahead to start some oatmeal at night...so spoon feeding will be our next adventure!

Game Day Fun

Ellie was finally able to meet her sweet friend Maddie from Chicago this past Saturday! Everyone had such a great time...here is a video from the meet and greet along with a few other snapshots.

Ellie's First Stroller Date

Ellie had her first stroller date last night with Asher. Asher's about a month younger than Ellie and one of my good friend from BSC days son. I have a feeling this will be the first of many playdates to come. Asher was calm and relaxed the entire time, taking it all in. Ellie on the other hand was more interested in her hands and chew toy than the great outdoors.

Ellie is 4 Months!

Ellie was 4 months last Tuesday...but due to a snotty nose and Dad being out of town for the past 3 weeks we've sorta fallen behind on our updates. All that being said we are feeling much better thanks to Aunt Marie who graciously picked up a humidifier for us. Also, my Mom was with us last week to help with nasal treatments (Ellie did not like these at all) and just general day to day maintainence that comes with a baby (washing bottles, clothes, making sure that I got some sleep). Big Thanks to MOM! Now on to the newest videos and pictures of Ellie...

2nd Annual Slew Brunch.

Enjoying some Sunshine on Game Day!

Last weekend was very exciting and busy. We headed down to the lake first thing Friday Morning and had some quite time before the slew got busy. Saturday Ellie was still having some tummy troubles but Grandma Dot fixed that real quick we a procedure that neither Willie nor I wanted to do (Thanks Dot!). After that Ellie was good to go and enjoyed her first Bama Game with Friends and Family. Then on Sunday it was the 2nd Annual Slew Brunch.

Catching up

Ellie's been pretty busy these days with school, helping out around the house, sucking on fingers and what not. So, we haven't had much time for photo opps, but here are a few of the most recent.

I know I shouldn't eat my fingers....

But I just can't help myself...they are so yummy!

Please no light...I'm so tired!

I'm still tired!
