Not feeling well...

Ellie and dad were spending the day relaxing until mom came home for lunch when she noticed Ellie was all congested and her eyes were red and gooey. Off to the doctor we went. Looks like someone has an infection. Antibiotics to the rescue!

I feel like crap...

Amazingly still in a pretty good mood though - if only mom would give me that silver thing she keeps putting in my face and let me chew on it!

Yes, I know...they are bad pictures - it's hard in the car while a little hand is trying to grab the phone and munch on it :)   I'll do better next time.

Update on the new bed...

The other day I (well Jeff) uploaded the pictures from the camera and I found better pictures of Ellie hanging out in her new bed - not to mention her "trend" of sticking her tongue out.  Luckily she is starting to grow out of that phase.

Now just a note regarding the "new" bed - we can really no longer call it that as Ellie decided she would use the railing as a chew toy - she gnawed on it and removed a good amount of paint the other morning, I guess mom wasn't quick enough when she felt like getting out - she showed me!  I'm hoping lead has long been removed from paint???

Bumps and bruises

Ellie has taken a few spills lately learning how to stand by herself - some might think the little girl gets abused but I assure you all bruises were the result of accidents involving the coffee table and her wobbly legs :) Not to mention Ellie thinking she can stand up on pillows, books, bottles, toys, etc.

Bath Time!

Ellie loves bath time!

She also loves to chew on her comb

although I think it looks painful

Ellie and her daddy in deep thought, I'm sure about combs and bubbles.

Toys...

All that money on toys and what does she enjoy playing with??? The basket.

Uh mom, am I in trouble?

Maybe I'll get out.

Ellie and Uncle Jon

A few weeks ago Ellie and I headed back to Grandpa and Grandma Kilstrom's house for the weekend.  During the trip we decided to stop in at uncle Jon's work and say hi.  My little goof comes up with this for her picture...it's still a pretty cute picture in my book!

Happy baby.

My little stinker was so happy this morning, she was laughing when she woke up and was very good while mommy got ready for work.  I couldn't help but snap a few pics to share.

Binky and hippo - life is good!

Sometimes the hippo gets abused.

Dare devil in the making.

For a few weeks now Ellie has figured out how to improve her positioning on her walker - as you can see she has no fear for the danger that is sure to come.

I think she knows this is a dangerous activity but does it anyway.

And at some point you must come down which usually involves a few tears.
