Ellie's First 6 Months

Ellie celebrated her 6th month birthday on Saturday. I am not sure how that happened. It is hard to believe that she is six months old ! Time is flying by and that might partially be due to the fact that she is a perfect baby. She is always happy, smiling, and loves to look around and take everything in. We all love her so much and she brings joy to everyone that is around her. Already, she and Isabelle are friends and we can't wait to see what the next six months bring. We love you Ellie. Happy half birthday :)

Below is a look back over the past 6 months.

One of her first smiles caught on camera.

Snoozing. She is really good that at !

All of the sudden she started smiling all of the time and is started to loose the newborn baby look.

Now Ellie is a big 6 month old and is sitting up all by herself, eating fruits and vegetables, and making us laugh and smile every day. She is a real gift and we all so lucky to have her in our lives.

Ellie's First Easter and Spring Time Fun

We all celebrated Ellie's first Easter with a full weekend of family, candy, and beautiful weather. Below are the details of Easter weekend and some fun in the sun from the past week.

Our little (or not so little) Easter Egg.

A family photo on our deck. It was so warm on Easter weekend. It felt like July ! A full description as to why Isabelle is naked is below :)

Ellie and Aunt Jen playing with Ellie's new bunny.

What better way to celebrate Easter then by dying eggs. Since it can be a messy job and it was 80 degrees Isabelle decided to dye eggs in her undies. Since she spilled most of the dye, that was a good idea. Thank you Grammy and Grampy for bringing the eggs and dye. We all had fun.

Isabelle opening the HUGE Easter baskets from Grammy and Grampy. She also got to open Ellie's baskets. So she was in heaven. Thank you for all of the great gifts. As Isabelle would say, "I appreciate it."

Isabelle is her Easter dress. A special thank to Nana and Papa for the dress! It is quite a talent to make a helmet, a bike and beautiful dress look so elegant!

Isabelle and Ellie relaxing with Nana and Papa after a fun filled day which included an easter egg hunt, delicious ham dinner, running around crazy with all of the cousins, and various kinds of candy.

Two happy girls. Enough said :)

My littlest cougar.

Can you tell that I just can't get enough of Ellie's smile ?!

Ellie celebrated Opening Day at school by wearing head to foot Red Sox gear. Go Sox !!
