Big Weekend for Ellie!!


It was a big weekend for Ellie! On New Years Eve, she sat up for a few minutes by herself for the first time! She doesn't have sitting up mastered yet, but definitely is getting the hang of it! The three of us flew to St Louis on New Year's Day. It was Ellie's first plane ride and she did great. She played quietly the first half of the trip and slept the second half. We arrived at Aunt Audrey and Uncle Brian's in the afternoon and the entire Wittmann clan gathered to celebrate Christmas together. Here she is with cousins Alex and Ashley.

El got some gifts perfect for her....some fun bath toys, her own cell phone (she's always grabbing for mommy and grandmas...although I'm sure she's disappointed that hers doesn't have text messaging;) and check out this cute hat from Audrey and Brian. It was almost 50 out on Saturday so we took her for a walk at the park.
Ellie also broke her first tooth this weekend! It's on the bottom left and as usual, she's about as happy as could be.....

she has been just a bit fussy at night, but mostly she just wants to chew on things more.

It was a great weekend with family and Dan also got to see a number of his good friends from St Louis on Saturday night.

Happy New Year!!
