E's first Pumpkin Patch!
On Saturday afternoon Ben and I decided to take E to the pumpkin patch to get her first pumpkin, but more than anything we thought it would be a great opportunity to get some fun photos! She did really great and enjoyed sitting and leaning on all of the pumpkins! She smiled and laughed and we were able to get in and out quickly with the perfect little pumpkin and a lot of cute photos! Here are a few:
Happy Fall!!

Playing a little catch up!
I really just wanted to share some recent photos of Ellie.
She has been loving watching her Baby Einstein videos in the morning after breakfast!
She also enjoys her floor time...
"Hey Daddy, when did you get here!?"
Her hair continues to grow and we often see a sweaty head when she wakes up from naps!
Watching her video, eating puffs!
I think some of the puffs actually made it in her mouth!
Tracking mommy down!

Fathers Day and E's Baby Dedication
On Sunday, Father's Day, Ellie was dedicated at church!
It was a wonderful day and most of our family was there to celebrate with us!
Ellie did great and was in a happy mood throughout the morning and through the dedication.
Her cousin Casey was also dedicated on Sunday... Ellie LOVES babies!
She got to spend some time with Papa Rick and Grandpa Dennis...
And ended the morning with a nap through the rest of church!
Overall, wonderful Father's Day!

"On my own!"
I couldn't resist the title of the post, we are watching the 25th anniversary of Les Miserables.
Within the last day, Ellie started to pull herself up! I couldn't believe it! She is 6 months old and she is already pulling herself up. If she is sitting next to something she can get a good grip on, she will pull herself into the standing position all by herself- over and over! Such a big girl already... slow down my sweet one!

Solids- Rice Cereal!
We took the first step to solids with E a couple of weeks ago and introduced rice cereal- I think she liked it! :)

First haircut!
At just 5 months old Miss E got her first haircut, and it was needed.
I was a little sad to have to cut her hair this early, I thought she would be a year before it was necessary, but every time I saw her long hair in the back I started singing the theme to Ducktales- a-woo-oo!
When she was born she had a lot of hair and it was about an inch and a half long all over. We thought she might lose it, but that didn't happen. She wore a little bald spot in the back from rubbing, but the rest of her hair stayed neatly in tact. Which means over the last five months, that hair just kept getting longer and longer until this little duck tail looked more like a mullet... and we just could have that.
It's a little hard to see, but you can tell that it is no longer mullet-ish and although I still sing "ducktales, a-woo-oo", it's only habit :)
And I of course saved every last little hair that fell from her sweet little head!

So a couple of weeks ago, I wet a comb and snipped off some of her precious fine baby hair and gave her a new "do".

She rolls, both ways!
Ellie started rolling over from back to front!
Today, we had Ellie's 4 months well baby check up! She is doing well :)
She weighs 12lbs, 8oz and is in the 25th percentile for weight. She was 10lbs, 1 oz at her 2 month check up.
She is 24 1/2 inches long and is in the 50th percentile for height. She was in the 25th percentile at her two month check up.
She is also in between the 25th and 50th percentile for head circumference.
She's growing!!
While we were in the Dr.'s office waiting to be seen I had her laying on the exam table. Ben had just walked in, he came to help ease my anxiety because today was also a vaccination day. He came in, gave kisses, we put her back down and she rolled right over and smiled at herself in the mirror in front of her! Now that she has started, we can't get her to stop! She has rolled over probably a dozen times this afternoon. She still can't get back to her back, but I think she'll be rolling around the house in no time :)

4 months old!
Ellie is four months old! She is a super happy smiley baby! She has one little tooth growing in on the bottom that has already broken through and it seems another is on it's way.
I am convinced that she will go straight to walking and skip crawling all together. She LOVES to stand and has started to arch her back in protest to anything she doesn't want to do, usually sitting or laying. She has no problem telling us exactly how she feels! She can go from smiley to screaming in no time, and we have noticed a littttle temper... although we haven't quite figured out where it came from ;)
We have so much fun with her! She is enjoying walks. She has started to giggle. She likes to be outside. She hates her carseat still.
Her blues eyes sparkle more everyday and her hair continue to get lighter and lighter. And this girl has personality!! Boy does she have personality, just look at the photo below... this photo screams personality to me! And we are so in love with her... so in love with her!
She still loves to eat and loves to nurse even more. She is doing much better with her reflux and the spitting up seems to be improving also. But now we have teething drool and a runny nose :)
Happy four month sweet girl!
