Catch Up: MARCH

Getting some bedtime love from Auntie Shelby

James finished putting shelves in Ellery's closet. He also installed a light so we can actually see what's in there.

Yes, those are little TOM's shoes. Can't wait til those fit!

Ellery can't get enough of her daddy

Auntie Shelby is fun!

This is how Ellery would sleep if we don't wrap her up.

Tough girl with bandaids on her thighs after her shots.

Cousin Saige is so fascinated with Ellery.

I can't stop smiling!!!

Saige and Ellery

Ellery and I went to a tea party baby shower for a co-worker, here she's being held by Ali

With Jen, who I work with in the ICU

We pushed the jogger up to the look out bench at Henry Cowell, no small feat!

Sleeping in daddy's arms at Saige's birthday party. All the excitement wore her out.

A visit from Hollie's family in February

In February my Dad, Grandma Marge, Evan, Heather, April, and Katie came out to visit.

The girls were so comfy in Grandpa's arms

Grandma Marge holding her Great Granddaughter for the first time

This is my sister's tattoo in memory of our mother

Was she really that tiny just 2 months ago?!

Me with April and Katie with Ellery

We went to Westcliff so the girls could see the Ocean

My siblings! Look at us all grown up...

Sisters and babies

Pics from February

This is a post I started in February and never finished. Just some fun pics of Ellery and friends who visited.

Sleeping in Daddy's arms

"This is my stunned look!"

Cara came to visit!

Ellery is really engaged in Game of Thrones with Dad

Meeting Sarah for the first time!

Auntie Carrie is going to have a new little cousin for me in October!

10 Little Rubber Ducks

Bedtime stories with Dad. Ellery is so captivated!

"That is so silly that the ducks have to come all the way across the sea on a boat!"

"NO! The rubber ducks fell off the boat!"

"Oh good they can swim!"

"I'm so glad the rubber duck found a mother duck"

New discoveries

Ellery has discovered her fist. She won't take a pacifier, but she sure will try to put her whole fist in her mouth. Occasionally it's just a couple fingers, but more often she seems to be trying to get the whole thing in there. It makes her happy.

She has also become so much more interactive lately, and I realized, it's time for some toys! We just got this toy arch that can hook onto a carseat or stroller or her swing. She loves it! She will be so focused on hitting the toy in the middle, and then she'll be so happy about hitting it! If she hits it hard enough it plays music, which she managed to do 3 times today.

Ellery at 11 weeks. She's starting to experiment with her voice more.

 

This is also at 11 weeks.

 

Our friend Robyn made this super cute owl beanie! 

 

Bath time has gotten so much more enjoyable. It was probably around 8 weeks that she started to like baths more. Now we look forward to bath time!

 

9 weeks. The shadow behind her head looks like a mullet doesn't it?!
