Week 16

Ellie is continuing to grow learn about new things every day. This week she grabbed her passy out of her mouth all by herself. Granted she just waved it around, but it was still a neat thing to see. It's amazing how excited you get about the littlest things when you are a parent.

She has discovered her legs. And I can only imaging when she starts crawling. She has gone from sitting nicely in her bath seat to lifting up and being a wiggle worm while we give her a bath. I have to have a hand on her so she doesn't fall off her seat. Along with that, I have had to start strapping her into everything which Ellie is not a fan of.

Auntie Christie was a wonderful friend and came and stayed with Ellie two weekends in a row. It was so much fun to have her with us especially since I was roomates with her for 4 years. We had alot of girl time to talk. She even came over one night at midnight because I needed some help and when Ellie wasn't feeling better, she held Ellie until she fell asleep. Auntie Em also came and visited for dinner a couple of times.

Ellie is starting to recognize people on skype and will start flirting and smiling with anyone you skype with. She loves skyping with her daddy when he's out of town and also her Great Nonnie and Great Popa Podgers who will meet Ellie during Thanksgiving this year.
