8 months old

WOW...Ellie is 8 months old today! Time is moving so fast, she gets more entertaining everyday. Jeremy had to work all weekend so Ellie and I hung out. Saturday we did some laundry and made Daddy dinner and then Sunday we took a bath, and went for a long walk outside after her nap. Ellie has been a bit crabby the past week (which is very rare) so I was relieved to feel a tooth that had popped through on the top right hand side. She is back to her normal happy self.

Pictures from our walk today:

I'm ready to go

The sun is in my eyes mommy!

Updates:

Sitting: Ellie sits all by herself, she enjoys sitting up and playing with her toys.

Crawling: Ellie has not yet crawled. She scoots backwards, army crawls forward and rolls to get a hand on what she wants. Today I noticed that she was starting to go up onto her knees...so hopefully crawling will come soon.

Eating: Ellie eats a bottle when she wakes up, cereal and bottle before her morning nap, lunch is 2 veggies (half of each) and half of fruit, with a bottle before nap, she takes another bottle around 3:30, supper is the same as lunch, and then a bottle before bedtime.

Diapers: Ellie is in #2 diapers...she poops 3-5 times a day (typically during the day, which is nice because she is at the sitter :)

Teeth: Ellie now has 3 teeth, two on the bottom came in at the same time, and then one on the top right hand side just came in!

Sleeping:Ellie takes a morning and afternoon nap and is in bed by 7:00 at night. She now sleeps through the night and is awake around 6ish (on a good day...5ish sometimes on other days)

Laughing: Ellie loves to smile and laugh, she thinks that we are so funny...which I'm sure will change in about 12 years :)

Jumping: and of course she is still all about jumping!

Weight: 15 pounds (still :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARISSA!!! 26 today :)
