They Say it's your Birthday

Hey birthday girl!



YAHOO! Ellie is one year old today! Last year we didn't know if we were going to get to celebrate this day! Want to compare then and now? Ellie is healthy, getting stronger all the time, and crawling. She can say "bye bye" and wave both of her hands. She also says, "Ma Ma," "Da Da," and "uh oh." She is happy and smiling all the time and we all adore her. She has brought so much light into our family.

She is only 16 pounds, but she is eating much better, proven by the fact that she has grown another 3/4 of an inch this past month. She is now 29 1/2 inches long. Finding clothes that fit is going to be an adventure. Unfortunately, we can't put Ellie in a front facing car seat yet because she has to be a year old AND weigh at least 20 pounds. That's gonna take a while. My brother calls her "Ellie Bobble Head."



Ew what is that? It tastes weird! Here, I'll just stick my foot in it...


My cousin Caprice and I are just chillin' with my new toys.


Come on, Mom, is all of this really necessary?


You expect me to wear that?
