Few more pictures

These are just a few pictures of what we've been up to lately. Enjoy.

Here's Ellie after one her of first few feedings. It took her about 3 times before she actually understood we were putting food in her mouth, and that she enjoyed it.

And talking about baby food, this is Ellie's shelf in the kitchen. Thanks to WIC, we are well stocked with all the fruits and veggies Ellie can't wait to try.

I just couldn't resist taking the above picture. I love love Ellie's expressions. Can't you tell how thrilled she is to be taking a nap?

This is Ellie all hyped up for the BYU vs Utah game. GO COUGS!


We are also very excited that Ellie's hair has decided to start growing again. You wouldn't believe it by looking at her, but her hair is about 2 inches long now...but only in a strip right down the center of her head. The fact that her hair is pretty blond doesn't help her argument either, but the growth pattern sure makes for some fun mowhawks after bath time.


And on the subject of hair, she has enough for hair clips!...If you like the look of a flower centered right on the top of her head...


Here's her new trick with Dad. She's getting closer every day to sitting up on her own, but with a little balancing she can do this all day!



And we can't forget about Thanksgiving. We were in charge of pies and rolls this year. We decided to just do frozen rolls so we could focus on the pies. Starting at the top and going clockwise, we have a berry pie with a lattice crust (Thanks for the Recipe Mary! This pie was the clear favorite!). Next is the Pumpkin Struesel, Then a Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake and finally a banana caramel cream pie. Mmmmm, it's too bad that all the leftovers are gone now.
