Extra Extra Read All About It

Ellie had a big weekend - she started rolling over....4 times on Friday and she hasn't stopped since. She also found her loud happy screaming voice, is always grabbing for her toes, and started blowing bubbles with all of that wonderful drool!
It was quite the weekend for her!!

Pumpkin Pie

Ellie is becoming affectionately known as 'pumpkin' and sometimes 'pumpkin pie'. She is getting stronger and bigger each day. She holds her head up really well for longer periods of time and holds onto her toys more. Just the other day she started reaching for her feet. Oh, and she drools A LOT!

She had her first overnight at Grandma and Grandpa Wrights and was a good girl (of course:) She slept all night in the Pack and Play and probably didn't miss mommy and daddy one bit while we went to our friends Adrianne and Andrew's wedding. The photo of Dan and Michaella is after their wedding at the Joslyn Art Museum. They got married there just like we did so we snapped a photo where our big event occured almost 4 years ago this month.

We all took a drive to Kimbalton, Iowa spontaneously last weekend to check out the big Danish windmill and eat at a crazy Danish diner. We have had to get more creative with our road trip ideas since moving back to Omaha:)!

This blog is helping family and friends in Maryland, California, Nevada, Missouri, Ohio, Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico, and Oregon keep up with Ellie and we hope you all continue to enjoy checking in to see her grow and change!

3 Months Old Today

Ellie is 3 months old already. I just glanced at the clock and 3 months ago today, I was getting wheeled in for my c-section - seems like a long time ago in some ways!

Ellie is probably just over 12 pounds...we had to take her to the doctor last Friday and she weighed 11 lbs 12 ounces. She is really starting to grab things on her own this week. She has a new toy that makes crinkly sounds and has black and white patterns and she is especially interested in it....along with her favorite red cardinal toy. She also really likes bath time.







It's getting chilly here in the mornings so we're breaking out the fall clothes, including her first pair of jeans. Grandma Eileen and Mommy made a spontaneous trip to the mall yesterday so Ellie will be sporting some pretty cute duds from Baby Gap this fall.


Tomorrow Ellie will have her first overnight away from home at Grandma and Grandpas while Mommy & Daddy go to a wedding (we'll see how mommy does with that...gulp:)

Fun, fun, fun!!!

Ellie is so much fun and is such a good baby! She is smiling, cooing, and she even giggles once in a while. And..she is sleeping through the night!
Mommy and Daddy spend every minute with her on the weekends and we are having so much fun! During the week, she spends Mondays & Thursdays with Mommy, Tuesdays & Wednesdays with Grandma Eileen, and Fridays with Grandma and Grandpa Bud. She is a baby on the go...she goes for lots of walks downtown, goes to the farmers market, and goes hiking with Daddy. She even went to the zoo this weekend.




She still looks a lot like Dan, but a few people have commented that she has Michaella's eyes. We'll see!

We love having her here!!
