Ellie, Ellie, Ellie

Ellie's First steps

I"m so excited...today Ellie started taking steps by herself, both Brantley & I were here to witness it! How exciting that both of us were here to see it together!!

Almost ONE!!

I can't believe my little Ellie is turning one in 15 days!!! My how the time flies!! What joy she has brought to us through this past year!

Ellie is crawling & rolling every where & is now testing her balancing ability! She takes a few steps alone, but can sure walk from thing to thing!

For her 1st birthday her Daddy & I decided on getting her a puppy! So we now have a beautiful white lab named "Cotton"! Ellie loves him so much! Beaux on the other hand 'hates' him right now! So, we shall see how that relationship develops! Here are some pics of Ellie and Cotton!

Go REBS!!!

We're getting ready for football season!!! Yeah just a month left till kick off!! Here's Ellie learning Hotty Toddy!!

Busy lil lady!!

So much has been going on the last month, that I haven't had time to update the blog in awhile! Ellie is a funny little lady, she has the best personality & doesn't miss a beat! I take her to physical therapy twice a week with me & she has now become their 'mascot' (so they say)! They can't believe that she's is always so happy, no matter what time of day, she's smiling at everyone & admiring the people in crutches:) 

She loves her bath time; I never knew that watching a little one in the tub for 15 mins could be so fun! Ellie has started crawling, especially towards Beaux! Her 2 bottom teeth have come in & the top ones are trying to come thru, but I think we have a week still before those come out! 

Uncle Jonathan & Margaret got engaged!!! We couldn't be more excited! Can't wait to see them soon! 

Daddy had the other day off, so we headed up to Cincinnati to the Newport Aquarium! Ellie LOVED the fish!! She would watch them swim over her & try to touch them! They had a bird exhibit, where you could feed the birds. I wasn't too happy with this one, but Ellie loved it! She was trying to take a bird home with her I swear!!! She kept reach & grabbing it:) My only problem was the more people kept feeding these things, the more they were going to the bathroom ON PEOPLE!!! Luckily we escaped without any incidents! 

But here are some recent pics of the little one!

Mississippi Ellie

Well, it sure has been awhile since i updated my blogs! Ellie & I have been in Mississippi for over a month now...I broke my arm at the beginning of May, had surgery on it to place a plate & 6 screws! So, to say the least I need lots of help with Ellie & I have a wonderful family who is willing to help me out! We miss Daddy more then anything though! This has been the longest we have gone with out:( Here are some pics of the growing Ellie, I can't believe she is 7 months already!!

Best Picture of the weekend!!

Of course I am a little biased, but I think this is one of the most gorgeous pics of Ellie! Brantley took it Easter Sunday after church & the 2nd pic is when I left the two of them together for an hour to list a house & I returned to have Ellie passed out in her swing with the spikes still in hair!
