Busy Summer

Sorry It's been awhile since I've posted. I would have never thought that summer would feel busier than when school was in. I can't say exactly what we've been doing..; nothing big, just running here and there. Jason's grandma was here for awhile in the hospital so in the evenings we spent our time up there visiting with her. She thinks the world of Ellie, loves talking to her and making her laugh.

Yesterday was our 5 year anniversary. When we were on our honeymoon we said we would make a trip back to Anna Maria but plans changed and it took a little longer than we thought to start our family. Although I would love to be sitting on the beach this weekend I wouldn't trade Ellie for anything. We might just have to wait and go in a couple years but someday we will get back.

Tonight we had a wedding to go to. I had a few dresses to choose from in her closet, so hard making a decision on what to have her wear. The girl has so many clothes! I ended up putting her in a little dress that my mom got for her on Zulily (love that website). She did so good, took a couple short naps and was happy the rest of the time.

We have a trip scheduled for 4th of July weekend. Heading down to the Dallas area. Just can't get enough of the place. Hoping to do dinner with Robbie and Herb, do a little shopping, go to a soccer game and watch some fireworks.



Oh and recently Ellie discovered her feet. She makes it near impossible to to change her diaper in a timely manner when she has a hold of her toes. This afternoon I caught her with one toe in her mouth. Too funny to watch her laugh and smile at her feet.

4 months

Friday was a busy day...shots, pictures and hanging out with our nephews. Ellie had her 4 month Dr. visit, weighing in at 14lbs (50%), measuring 25" long (75%) and the Dr. even commented on her large feet. He said plan on her being tall. Poor little thing got her shots and screamed for a few min. I read online that nursing them after their shots helps comfort and calm them so I tried that this time and it seemed to help a little. We've been doing the Tylenol thing and she has been fever free and not really even fussy. She is such the trooper. Saturday was enjoyable, Jason finally had a Saturday off. He has worked every Saturday since the 1st of the year minus when Ellie was born and Easter weekend. It's amazing how long the weekend feels when he is home with us. Today we are heading down to Jason's family reunion, excited to show Ellie off. She will meet her great grandparents on Jason's dad side for the first time today. It's going to be a hot one, got sunscreen and sun hat packed for her.
