A few new things for Ellison....

On 3-16-2011 Ellison received a helmet which we are calling a crown. She will have to wear this for any where from 2-6 months. Oh course we are hoping for the lesser one. This will help the sides of her head which were growing improperly sift back and her head will become a normal egg shape if you are looking from the top. Right now it is shaped like a muffin or cupcake.

She has been drooling a lot for about 3 months and on 3-20-2011 the top right front tooth popped through then on 3-21-2011 the second one came top left. We have been told by many people that it is un-common to get the top ones first but we say leave it to our Ellison to get them first.
Right now she does not want to show them off we try to get pictures but she wants nothing to do with it. When I can get a good one I will post it.

We have been busy around here. I have been so bad about blogging. My parents have been in Mexico for two weeks they get home today and we are so excited! We are so happy that they can spend this time together!!!

Since my Mom takes care of Ellison when Josh and I work, we had to make our schedule different these last 2 weeks. I worked all my days in row on Josh's days off and Josh worked on my days off. On Sunday I had a great surprise Ellison and Josh came to the hospital and meet me for lunch! It has been a long two weeks of not really being together as a family. I am looking forward to the weekend and being able to spend time with each other.




A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to have our pictures taken by Lisa Walcott from Walcott imaging. If you are looking to have pictures taken soon check them out.

We were so happy with the pictures and could not pick so...we just got the disk with all the pictures. I have been reminded this week pictures last forever so take lots of them!





We got the sitting fee for free thanks to my Mom's in Tow membership. If you live in the area check this out!

I have high hopes of getting on here more to blog so that I can remember all the fun things Ellison does : )

Weekend recap

This weekend was great. Saturday I spent the afternoon with my best friend Heather we had a girls day. We went out for lunch to Crazy horse ( a yummy restaurant in Holland) then we did a little antique shopping around town and we hit up the gap outlet.

It was so nice to spend time together just us girls. We both love our kids a ton but is it very hard to carry on a conversation anymore with the 4 of them ;)

I found some great things at one of the antique shops. I found a cute chalk board for our kitchen. As well as this great window which I have big plans. As soon as I get everything done and up I will post some pictures.

Sunday we just stayed home and spent time together as our family of 3 (4 if you count the dog), we just relaxed, played, took naps and my amazing husband worked on laundry and I did some cleaning. I love having days like these.

What is your favorite thing to do on the weekend?

Ellison update

Ellison is one busy girl now, she is always moving something! She grabs at everything and anything she can get close to her mouth is in there licked split. She loves to take toys and bang them on things and hear the noise it makes.

She loves to play with her toes and eat them.

She still has not gotten any teeth but there is one little trying to poke through. She drools all the time. We are going through a lot of bibs everyday.

This week Ellison finally fit into a size 2 diaper whoo! I hear from other moms she will be in this size for a while. That is ok because I have been stocking up when they are on sale and I have good coupons.

Ellison went to the Doctor last week because she was not feeling well and she has an upper respiratory infection as well as a sinus infection. We got an antibiotic and she seems to be getting better each day now. It was so hard for Josh and I to see her sick.

She loves to play with all her toys. Thanks to Nana and Papa they are all loud and all play music ;)

Ellison loves to watch baby Einstein she gets all excited about the bright colors and music.

She is doing great with her baby food. She now does this little mouth movement which we have named "chomp chomp" it is so fun to watch her learn new things every day.

I hope to get some more blogging done soon!
