Dr.'s Visit

Ella had a shot visit at 7 months since I am spacing her shots out to only get two at a time. At 7 months she was 17.10 ozs. and still tall in the 98th percentile for height!

While we were waiting, she kept on smiling and making faces with another baby sitting next to us (see the first picture). Of course I was going picture crazy so she finally looked at me like, "Are you done yet mommy?" (cue the second picture!)

Then we finally got called back and lo and behold we got a Mickey Mouse room! Ella LOVES Mickey Mouse (Oh Toooodles!). No, this was not by force it just happened. She was cracking up at all of the Mickey's on the wall and it made for quite the pleasant shot visit. One nurse even looked shocked when we were on out way out because Ella was still smiling away and he commented on how happy she was after her shots!

Bike Rides!

This little chick LOVES being outside. Ever since she was a newborn, if she is upset you just take her outside in the sunshine and it is like hitting a "reset" button on her mood. When it is cool enough, we try to take her outside as much as possible. We had recently been given two bikes by a customer of Jimmy's and Jimmy was really wanting one of those little baby trailers that you hook up to the end of a bike but he wasn't liking the idea of not being able to see her. While he was at Wal Mart one day he came back with a pretty cool contraption! It mounts to the bike in front of the driver and it had a 5 point harness and seemed pretty safe. The one bad thing is that I cannot find a helmet for a baby of her size so she can only ride with daddy because I think she is safer that way. Here are some pics of one of her favorite activities to do outside!

7 months

I know I know...Ella is 9 months and I am just now posting her 7 month picture! Yes, I am running WAY behind on posts. AND, I have been keeping track of everything I need to blog on a handy dandy piece of paper and that paper has mysteriously disappeared (after daddy cleaned up the desk/computer area). Hmmm. Well, here it is. Oh and a story goes along with this one too.

Here is the first shot that I got...happy Ella, smiling away with her beautiful teeth.

Here is the second. KABOOM! Right on her pretty little face. Lots of crying came after this and I felt terrible. I wasn't that far from the chair, probably just an arms reach away but I wasn't quick enough and down she went. Poor girl.
