Elliotte 8 Months!

Elliotte is now 8 months old! Seems like I just posted that she was 7 months. She is still not crawling, but is very close. She just might be getting frustrated enough that she'll figure it out here very soon!She gets where she wants to go by rolling all over the place. She does not stay still and is always bouncing, rolling, kicking, etc. She is still such a happy baby. She did have a double ear infection during March and was so pitiful. She actually let me hold her and rock her several nights. Glad the ear infection is better, but I do miss the cudding.

At 8 months Elliotte is:
Sleeping 11-12 hours
Taking 2-3 naps a day
Eating 3 large meals a day
Drinking 2-3, 8oz. bottles a day
Picking everything up off the floor
Still putting everything in her mouth
Wiggling like crazy on the changing table
Rocking back and forth on her knees
Starting to cry when mommy leaves her

8 months old!

Happy Easter from my sweet bunny and her Buster!

Buster is so sweet and patient!

Happy girl!

Some pics from the past month:

After a bath before bed.

She loves to pull down her bumper pads and look out.

Baby jail!

She has also started using her bumper pads as a pillow!

So funny that she figured this out!

Faithie came in town to move Mu and Pu (her parents) and stopped by for a visit. Little Leah is not so little anymore!

Church Egg Hunt

Yesterday was our church Easter egg hunt. It turned out to be a great day! Of course E had no idea what was going on, but she had a great time shoving plastic eggs and grass into her mouth! Next year will be so much fun!

How far in my mouth will this go?

Elliotte and Austin. Didn't come close to getting a good pic of them.

She was tired and ready to go to bed!

The Park

Yesterday we took E on her first trip to the park. We went to Granny White Park expecting it to be packed and that we would have to wait for a swing. It was not crowded at all and we had a great time. E tried out the baby swings for the first time and loved it! She went down the slide too. The temperature was perfect and since it was cloudy, we didn't have to worry about a sun burn. We topped off the morning with lunch at Baja which also was not crowded. That won't happen again!

I love this!

Elliotte 7 Months!

My sweet little stink is 7 months old already. She is so sweet and such a good baby. She goes to sleep when I put her in her crib and she eats whatever I put in front of her. I am spoiled! She will either be a nightmare toddler or our next baby will be insane. Stay tuned!

At 7 months, Elliotte:
Takes 3, 8oz bottles a day
Eats 3 big girl meals
Drinks water from a sippy cup
Sleeps about 11 hours at night
Plays in her bed for about 30 minutes in the mornings
Puts everything in her mouth
Has graduated to her big girl car seat (no more carrier)
Is very close to crawling but gets frustrated that she can't just yet
Does not have any teeth yet
Takes a bath in the big tub
Is getting to be a "big girl"!

Sweet snow bunny! LOVE this pic! So glad Katie was up for some snow pictures.

Sweet cousins. Leah came to play yesterday. I love how Elliotte is holding Leah.

Lots & Lots of Snow!

Well, the weather people finally got one right! I always feel bad for them when the weather doesn't do what they say, but you would think with all the high tech devices they have that they would be able to predict the future a little better! It started snowing Friday morning and didn't stop until Saturday around noon. I saw on the news that Crieve Hall got the most snow in Nashville, and I believe it! We would have been up to our knees in snow if the freezing rain hadn't compacted it Friday night. It's been a long time since we've had a snow like this. Elliotte was sick during the last snow, so I was glad we were able to get her out in it for a few minutes. I think she was a little blinded by all the white! The dogs weren't too crazy about the crunchiness of the snow either. But it sure was pretty!

My little 6 month old snow bunny.
