8 Month Old Baby!

She is getting so big!  The chair used to be big!

A little October fun

Ellen in her super fun Halloween gangsta jammies!  She is such a festive baby.

 

Enjoying a little bit of fun on the front porch in the good weather.

7 month old baby!

Solid foods!! and fun out and about

Ellen's first time out in the soft pink thing cart cover.  She can sit up for the most part but was kinda falling over.  Luckily we were at Babies R Us so we "borrowed" a few teddy bears and stuck them in her cart for support while we finished shopping.

6 Month Old Baby!

It's a little late, but this was Ellen's 6 month birthday picture.  She sits up on her own now.  For the most part...

5 Month Baby!

Happy 5 month birthday to you Ellen!  Mommy and Daddy love you!!

Sitting, Rolling, new expressions!

This last month has flown by and Ellen has been transforming into a Big Girl right before our eyes!  (our tearful eyes)  It seems like it was just yesterday when she couldn't roll over, when she couldn't sit up and when she could fit into all those clothes that are now in the hand-me-down box.  While it is sad to see our baby girl grow up, it is also incredibly fun to see her do new things.  She openly smiles and squints her eyes at us now which makes us believe that we are at least doing some things right.  And she even helps us cook:

She makes crazy faces:

She lets Grandma know she is happy just to be hanging out!

She thinks of amazing jokes!

And delivers the best punch lines!

And then we laugh.  Ha ha ha ha ha!

..ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

And she's been on her best behavior when she goes out to eat across the street with Mommy and Daddy:

And when she goes to her cousin Kaden's birthday party in Clovis!

And still manages to find time to hang out with her best friend Preston:
