Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Wow...time flies when you are having fun! So sorry I am just saying Merry Christmas when it is time to say Happy New Year! Also, I can't believe I am just giving my 2 month stats when it is time to tell my 3 month stats! My 2 month stats: 25 inches long and 13 lbs and then my 3 month stats: 26 1/4 inches long and 13 lbs 14 ozs! I have been so busy growing and learning! I have also been such a good girl for my shots! I had a very Merry Christmas and I don't know if I will be up at midnight tonight or not to bring in the New Year! I love to play with my dolls, enjoy my new walker, can't get enough jumping in my Johnny Jump Up, and I am really good at holding up my head while pushing with my hands during tummy time! I will attach some pictures of how much I have grown and some of my new tricks!

Happy New Year!

Love,

P.S. I will try to update my blog more often in 2010 ; )

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I had so much fun!

And I turned 2 months today! Can everyone believe it? Look at this video and pictures and see how big I'm getting! But 2 months also means I'm back at the doctor tomorrow and I have to get shots! I'll make sure to let everyone know all my stats after that though...

I wanted to show everyone a new trick I'm working on...




It isn't quite perfect but give me a few weeks and I'll have it down.



Look at me! Just like daddy!



















Yep, still a good-looking baby!

One Month Old!

I'm getting so old. On Thursday I turned one month old. Yep, a whole month. And not only that but I had my one month doctor's appointment and put up some staggering numbers. Due to the 4 chins I've added I weighed 10 lbs and 10 oz (i was 7 lbs and 1 oz when i left hospital) and I was 23 1/2 inches long. Already an overachiever that is 98% for my age in height and 92% in weight.















And Halloween was quite fun. Not only did I get a ton of attention from all the girls but I got to wear a ton of different strange costumes including a cow, sunflower, carrot, and bumblebee!

What is this thing in my mouth?!?!?!?

Okay... My parents put this crazy thing in my mouth. Check out the video to see what happens:





P.S. I fell asleep immediately after this video. It was like magic.

Fun Weekend

I had a super fun weekend! On Friday I hung out with mom and dad and played all night long! Then on Saturday Mimi and Poppy brought all the little Hayes girls over and we hung out and I slept all day long. Then Saturday night I went out on an adventure with mom and dad but I pretty much slept through the whole thing. That meant I had tons of energy to stay up and party with mom and dad Saturday night! This morning we went to church. I decided to make little mouse noises for the end of the service to embarrass my parents, I was quite amused with myself. Then after that Mimi and Poppy spoiled me all day. We cuddled and slept and went on a walk and we even went on an adventure to TJ Maxx and Kohl's! I didn't get to go inside but I did get to hang out with Poppy in the car!






Also, I think I have a new trick. I'm getting better at smiling. I really show it with my eyes but sometimes get confused with my mouth. Hopefully I'll have it mastered soon so that I can smile all the time!

A few pictures to tease everyone...

Look at me in my sling! I love being cuddled up!














Good thing I like pink and green because we all know my mom is nuts for it!















I am one good looking baby!

Hello World!

Hello everyone. Since my parents decided I wasn't allowed to have a facebook account (so controlling already!), I've decided to create a blog to update everyone on my life and make sure everyone stays up to date on everything ME!

Here's a quick recap for anyone who needs a reminder or has to be brought up to speed:

I was born at 8:48AM on September 29, 2009. I was 7 lbs 9oz and 21 3/4" long.

Ever since that Tuesday morning I've been a great baby. There are three things I'm really good at: eating, sleeping, and convincing my parents to change my diaper. Up until a few days ago I really didn't have any good tricks beside those. Recently though I've become much better at focusing on toys or people's faces. Plus I'm staying awake during the day so that I can help my parents sleep a little. Yesterday I was awake for so much of the day and into the night that I think my parents were worried I'd stolen some of their caffeine! The other thing I'm getting better at every day is weightlifting with my head. I am super strong, and my favorite trick is lifting up my head for several minutes and then face-planting in my dad's shoulder.

I'm going to do my best to update this blog as often as possible but I'm sure you all understand that being as old as I am now (can you believe I'm 3 weeks already?) I have a very busy schedule and it can be difficult to get on here and update this.

For those who don't know already or haven't seen the latest pictures I do have some good-looking pictures of me and my family on flicker. Here is the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43136354@N06/

I'll try and let you know on here if I post new pictures.

I'm so excited to meet everyone that I haven't met yet! I hope you all enjoy the pictures and updates on how much I'm learning.

Love,
Ellie
