"Crown"

Ellison loves her Papa!



Ta-Da

This is Ellison's "crown" or helmet. She is doing great with it! This is the shirt her Papa got for her. We have not found one yet that say I love my Papa.

Visit

Ellison got to meet her Uncle Bruce her Dad's brother and her Aunt Lisa Bruce's wife.
They came up to meet Ellison for the first time.They live in Ohio so we don't get to see them very much.






We had a great visit with them.

Dinner and play time

We went to the Jonkers for dinner. It is so fun to watch the girls play together.
Ellison had a great play date with her friend Lina Rachel.




Lina would tap Ellisons head and say baby baby. They were so cute together.






Playing



All ready for bed in there PJ's and pacifiers.


I am so excited to watch these girls grow up together.

Spring is coming....I hope!

We have had a busy few weeks around here. We have been doing little things around the house getting ready for spring. My parents came over and helped do little odds and ends. We got a new dinning room table and chairs, they look great! We hung a bunch of things on the walls. I love having new things around the house.

Ellison is also getting use to wearing her "crown"/helmet. She has to wear it 23 hours a day. We take it off right before her bath and then put it back on when she is ready for bed. This past week also started doing Occupational Therapy. We will be going once a week for an hour. Then they give us homework to work on each week. While we are there we also get adjustments made on her helmet. Josh and I think this is harder on us then Ellison. I figured out how to attach her hair bows and flowers. We get lots of comments on how cute it is.



Ellison is not a big fan of Tummy time so she just rolls over.

Ellison had a play date with her friend William. They were both checking out his new mobile. Ellison is 4 months older than William.


Ellison has started to wave Hi and Bye. When people walk in and out of the rooms she will wave. It is so cute!


I found this cute hat at Gap the other day it was 97 cents so I just had to buy it.

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!
