FIRST STEPS!

We've hit a major milestone - Ellie's first steps!!! On Saturday, she was getting a bit brave and took a step or two. Yesterday (Monday), Ellie officially took her first steps. Of course Mom and Dad are happy - but check out Ellie's mile wide smile. I think she knows she's gaining some independence.

Wow are our lives going to change!

I didn't add sound to spare you the over zealous screams from Matt & I! :)

Enjoy!

Ellie's Babies

Ellie is a lover. She is always giving out hugs and kisses, smiling all of the time and just loves people. She is constantly hugging and kissing her "babies" too. (She has TONS of babies!)

We feel so lucky to have a daughter who's so loving. :)

Updates

I have to apologize for the few blog followers I have for the lack of posts lately. I have no good excuse, we're all busy, I have just been lazy I guess. There is a lot to post - and my solemn vow is to update once a week from today until April 23 - then I'll cry because she's one! :)

In all honesty, I will do my best. Bear with me - I do have a lot to share!

Ten month photos

And here we are, ten months old. I seriously can't believe how fast everything is going. Ellie is SO amazing. All over the place and a ham! Check out our ten month photo day.......

She won't sit still for five seconds, so I literally had to chase her around with the camera and sign.
