Another Ellie Update

Our little girl will be 6 months old tomorrow! So in commemoration I am doing a little update.

Ms. Ellie is developing her own personality. She is squealing, screaming, laughing, talking in response to us.

She is sitting up on her own, (she cant get to the sitting position on her own yet though). Its so cute to see her sitting! (see pic) She is grabbing at everything in sight and if possible putting it her mouth. Its like a little exploration tool, anything that she see's and grabs must pass the slobber test.

Waking her up is a special treat of mine. After I read and eat in the morning I go into her room where she is usually turned on her back and talking to herself. But as soon as she hears the door squeak open and sees me (or Katie) she gets so excited, smiles and kicks her legs! How precious!

She is becoming more mobile, though not crawling yet. We find her in the opposite direction in her crib and watch her scoot in circles, but no real progressive movement. She is quite the wiggle worm though; on the changing table she will arch her back so that she can grab the box of wipes behind her head! She also loves scooting around in her walker (see top pic.)

We dressed up all girly like for the first time on easter (see pic). She was quite the little doll.

This past weekend Mi-mom and Pop-pop (Katies parents) came over. And Pop-pop was rubbing the top of his head on Ellies belly and Ellie would start grabbing his hair really tight, try to put her mouth on his hair and start letting out little monster like screams. We werent sure if she was freaking out, or having fun! ;)

We feel so blessed by God to have this little one in our lives to enjoy and look forward to all the stages to come. I can start to understand God's love for His children as I spend time with our little one.

I also feel so blessed to have a wonderful wife who cares for our little Ellie so well. As I am out working, she is thinking / planning / reading on how to care for her better and better. Reading up on all the best things do give her and do for her, and always thinking about how to love her more and more.

Thanks for reading. More updates to come!
