Little Feet

Sound asleep with her little bottom in the air and her feet crossed...simply precious!

Trying to Get a Good 7 Month Photo

Some of these are really funny...especially the last one...her face is priceless!

Dear Department of Child Services....

Please don't take her away from us!

7 Months

It is pretty unbelievable that Ellasen is 7 months old today. Most of me is so happy for all the milestones she has reached these last 7 months because it has been incredible to see her grow and change, but part of me really wants to keep her little! With each day she knows more independence...which means she has less and less need for me! I know I am mostly being silly, to think of these things before she is a year old, but if the last 7 months is any indication, I could take a long nap and wake up with a teenager! Shudder....

I am working really hard not to miss a moment and to try to document those moments with this blog. Hopefully someday we'll be able to look back at this and see our lives change...one day, one picture at a time.

Okay enough with the nostalgia...on to the 7 Month Milestones!

Sorry in Advance!

Sorry in advance for the quality of this video. I was making dinner on Father's Day for some friends who just had a baby, and Ella and Tim were playing. She had been laughing at him for almost 10 minutes before it dawned on me to get the video camera. By the time I grabbed it, I was afraid she would quit laughing so I didn't want to waste any time. I don't turn the light on in this until about halfway through....Sorry it is hard to see!

Father's Day

Tim was post call which is why he is laying on the deck while playing with Ella and why he looks half asleep in most of the pictures, but hey when your husband is a resident you get pictures whenever you can!

Cute Dresses

Dada

Now I warn you...there is a little spill in this video. Along with sitting up, Ella has gotten very good at tipping over. She has learned how to fall, but it does look like quite the topple in this video. It was just too cute not to share though! Enjoy
