Iphone blogging....genius!!!

hi, it's me Erin and ell coming at you live from my bedroom while I am feeding Missy elliotte! It's been hard to find time to blog mainly because I have raised a very poor napper and am officially a babywise failure:( there theory is to let them cry it out and I usually do at night time but during the day I have a baby who wants to nurse through all naps. I love family style napping and Sometimes I don't mind because I get to nap too but days like today I really want to be productive and that is a feeling I hate wasting! (it is a rarity:) needless to say I am nursing and blogging at he sametime as I speak/type! Hope that doesn't disturb anyone too terribly much.... Now on to more important matters I forgot to post elliottes six month stats, so Please everyone get out your elliottes statistics journals and enter this new data:)
weight 19.2 lbs 97%
height 28 inches 97%
conclusion: my baby has stopped thriving.
She also had an ear infection but is over it now thanks to amoxicciallin(sp).where is autocorrect when u actually need it?

Other news we had a garage sale yesterday! If u know me I LOVE garage sales and it was fun being on the otherwise of it for once! Ell did a great job of helping, she fell asleep in the back of a suv while her mom worked her magic. When she wasn't sleeping she was hanging out with girlfriend olive and hottie boyfriend Hudson(he has kissed her already!) I tried laying her down on my tarp of treasures thinking this would boast sales but instead almost had to bust out my baby hemlich moves due to ell trying to digest plastic. She is perfectly fine
don't you worry. She is a squirrely one and I have a sneaking suspicion we r going
to have one spicy meatball of toddler!

So I might be slacking...

Sorry to the two people that actually read my blog (yes I am talking to you Wendy and Jerry :) But I have been a bit behind.  You know, raising a husband, taking care of a baby, making sure I got my naps in...etc.  We had so much fun the past few days with all of our family coming into town to celebrate my husband's graduation!  It was such a joy to see Ell surrounded by the people who love her the most.  We ate, we played, and we took pictures of this great little visit with all 6 grandparents (and one uncle and one aunt!)  I am very proud of my baby's daddy and cannot tell you how stinkin happy I am that he is done and I am living my dream, staying home with my sweet babykins.  Here are some pictures to mark this momentous weekend.
P.S. Grandparents, please come back ANYTIME, I like to have help :)

Bathtub fun!

Splish splash Ell was taking a bath, on a Monday night!  Tonight Elliotte got the royal treatment in cleanliness, her pops and I both got to tag time the whale tub excitement!  It was the first time Elliotte has been big enough to A-sit up in her bathtub, and B- Play with (or more like eat) her bath toys! It was really cute watching her splash around.  I really like these pictures because you can really see her pearly whites.  This kid is too cute.

And there you have it!


and Elliotte!

Houston we have Teeth! And disease...

Easter Present from Grandpa and Grandma H.!

So Its official Elliotte has her first set of chompers!  Thats right folks, her bottom two incisors are officially through the gum line!  What a big girl she is becoming!  I feel like tomorrow we will go wedding dress shopping...grrr slow down time.  Anyway she also has been very sick, in fact the whole fam has been.  Let me tell you how fun that has been....not at all actually.  It has been very challenging trying to take care of someone when you yourself feel like complete dog poop.  All I wanted to do was sleep and OD on dayquil but instead had to care for a 6 month old who was not a happy camper.  She didn't want to sleep in her crib, she didn't want to be put down on the floor, she didn't want to nurse because she can't breath through her nose, its been a snotty mess.  I think we are on the upside of things (keeping fingers crossed).  Its really sad and so incredibly heart wrenching to hear her little coughs...I just want to cuddle her up.  This weekend Josh graduations so I hope she is better by than for the family's sake.  Friday she also has her next Dr. Appt. So I will keep you updated.   Thats pretty much it for now!  Adios.

Lately...

Elliotte has been able to snack on Green beans, Avocados, Carrots, and Cereal.  Her least favorite was the avocado I think it was because of the consistency, it was hard to get it really mushy. Her favorite, carrots and cereal.   Her bottom gums are very swollen and there are signs of two pearly whites! Her sweet little gummy smile is soon to be replaced with teeth. It is hard to believe my kiddo is getting teeth! She is getting ready to start crawling too.  The other day I caught her on all fours just hanging out stationary.  But on all fours nonetheless!  She is sleeping in her own room now.  A few days ago Josh and I gave her the boot and it was very bittersweet.  She is sleeping more soundly and so are her parents, but just another reminder that she is growing up.  I love that she is more interactive but also a little sad that it is happening so fast.  She is such a good baby, very content and very smiley.  She is so fun to watch and she seems to always be on the go.  If there is a noise she will turn to it, if something is within reach she will grab it and than sample it with her tongue.  I grow more and more in love with that little 19 lb ball of baby each day.  Tonight we are going to church to for Easter and I am so thrilled to be celebrating with my little girl Christ's resurrection for the first time.  She has so much fun in the nursery and today she even got her first piece of mail from the church!  It was cute, it was basically just asking her to bring a flower to put on the cross on stage.  I told her we needed to get on that and that it was her responsibility to pick out the flower.  I have a feeling she might not follow through.  Husband and I are so excited to see her grow and experience Easter egg hunts and resurrection eggs! There is so much hope for our little one that I can't help but be thankful for what Christ did and the promise we have of eternal life together.  I love you Elliotte and happy Easter my sweet baby girl.

Jr. Theologian.

Since Ell has been going to the nursery on Sunday's  our church gave her a complimentary childrens bible!  Josh has been putting his seminary degree to work by reading to her the stories of the bible! She kept trying to eat her bible (She was hungry for the word) as well as tear the pages out (Probably to pass out to other babies) We have a baby theologian on our hands.  Who knows how many babies Ell has already led to Christ ;)!
