Been a while!!

WOW It has been too long since I updated!! Well let me see...first of all we are all moved into our new home...its been about a month now! However moved in does not mean unpacked! HA! We have REALLY been taking our time unpacking this time around. We plan on staying in this house for a LONG time so we are just taking things one day at a time. Plus...have you tried unpacking with a 7-8 month old?? Not easy! ;)

HHHmmmm so what else is new? We recently went on TWO trips! One to Albion (near Fort Bragg) and one to Chico/Redding. I plan on writing posts on each trip as they were both awesome!! When we returned from Albion, two weekd ago, we put Ellie down on the ground in our room so we could unpack and she...

STARTED CRAWLING!!! The little bugger started crawling at 7 1/2 months old. Now she is EVERYWHERE!! And this week she started pulling herself up on everything and she wants you to walk with her! She has no balance so walking required a LOT of help but she likes it! No cruising just yet but we expect it soon.

Here she is on her toy we just got her so she can practice "walking". It turns into a little car too..


A couple weeks ago we also took her to the doctor to have her head checked out. Despite being a baby that is not carried in her carseat often and is "worn" as much as possible, she still has a little flat spot on her head (common now a days since they recommend back sleeping). To be sure the flat sopt was not being caused by the fissures in her skull closing too soon, she had to get her very first x-rays!! :( We actually had an awesome tech and got both pictures done first try! And the great news is....her head is "normal". They hope her head may round back out with time.

OH and she weighed 20 1/2 lbs!!!!! The doctor said I must make "creme brule milk" he he he...

Here are a couple pictures from the last couple months since I have been WAY behind!!
