There is a first for everything!

Josh and I had a first. We went away overnight and Ellison stayed home with Nana!
We went to Traverse City. It was beautiful and we had so much fun.



We went to six different winery's.
We love doing all the tasting and learning about the wine.



One of our favorite things in Traverses City is the beautiful scenery.



Some of the winery's have the most beautiful views.



We had a great time, but did miss Ellison a lot. We knew she was in the best hands with Nana.



We had a great time on our little Anniversary get away. We have been married for 4 years!!!

Wordless Wednesday

10 Months Old!!!

Ellison Grace you are 10 months Old!!!!(On June 13th 2011)

You are growing each and every day. We love to watch you learn how to do something new each day as well.



You are wearing size 9-12 months cloths, and you are finally in a size 3 diaper!

You have started to dance every time you hear music, it is so cute!

You say "Mama", "Dada","Papa", "Bababa" and "Up" we are trying to teach you Nana next!




You still have four 6 oz. bottles a day and are eating baby food 3 times a day. You are loving everything that we give you.


Next week we are going to start swimming lessons at the YMCA by our house, we are hoping that you like it. We think you will because you love your bath time and had a lot of fun in your pool at Nana and Papa's house.

You love to clap yours hands whenever we say "Yeah" or we clap. You watch our mouth when we say things and try to say it back.

You are trying to crawl and are getting stronger each day.

We are still going to O.T. once a week, and Miss E loves how well you are doing.




Since the weather has been nice we have been going for a lot of walks and you love it. Being outside is one of your favorite things!




We are excited for summer and to spend time with you.


We love you more than you will ever know!!!!

XOXO
