Eh...

So, i know i have all but abandoned this blog in the last week. Im sick, the baby is sick and it isnt going away. Before Thanksgiving we both started with the sniffles. Then, I got a horrible sore throat (which i still have). Ellie went to the Dr Monday night and we found out she has a right ear infection and conjunctivitis. So, she is taking amoxicillin to clear it up. Poor kid! It hasnt dampened her spirits any, she is still little miss smiley.
Anyway, I am just blogging before I head to bed. Hopefully this will clear up soon!

Happy Turkey Day!

Well, Ellie came thru turkey day pretty unscathed. I gave her a taste of my cranberry sauce and Grandpa Larry gave her a taste of cherry pie filling. She is currently passed out in the swing after a hard day of being the center of attention.
Mom and Kurt came up and we had a good time. There was plenty of yummy food and people to share it with.
I realized about half an hour ago that I didnt take a single picture of Ellie on her first T-day. Whoops. I know Mom got alot of good shots though, Thanks Mom! ...hopefully with some prodding we can get her to update ;)
Hope everyone had a good day. Im just glad I get to spend 4 days straight with my little girl!

She is a cannibal!

Saturday we went to Rancho Alegre. Yum. We havent been there for a long time since it is clear on the southside. I decided to be nice to the Bean and give her a little taste of refried beans. She loved them! I just put a tiny bit on my finger and she gobbled it up. She even did the little hungry baby bird thing when i gave her a tiny bit more.
Then I realized- she's a cannibal! Haha. I didnt have my camera with me or I would have documented it. Boo hoo
She also had her first ride in a shopping cart yesterday. Jen, Rob and I went to Costco to pick up dog food, and Ellie sat like a big girl in the cart. She was too cute! We also went to Childrens Place to pick up some cute sleepers for present opening, and a couple sweaters for her Christmas pictures. Its the holiday season!
Well, hope everyone has a great short work week, and eats lots of yummy food on Thursday!

Ducky Feet

Boing!

Aunt Jen took this one of Ellie making "raspberries"

The Bean

Ellie is changing so much lately. She has learned how to roll all over the place. She holds her head at 90 degrees now and does crunches to strengthen her abs. Its so cute, like a little baby workout video. I think she will be sitting up soon. (hopefully by Dec 8 for Xmas pics) She has learned how to make raspberries and is giggling like crazy. I even got a full blown belly laugh out of her today (and promptly had to call Grandma Sharon on the speakerphone)
We are looking forward to her first Thanksgiving next week (and a 4 day weekend) Here are a couple new pics...

Tried to get a pic of raspberries, but the camera distracts her. She likes to pose.

Are those eyes ever going to turn brown??

Awww.

She is getting so BIG!
