Peek-a-Boo

Ellie no longer likes to sit on her blanket/ mat (whatever you want to call it). She now likes to pick it up and look under it. I think she is starting to learn how to play peek-a-boo, but you think what you want.







Surprise Ellie

A few days ago Ellie decided that she was ready to crawl. And crawl she does!! She is all over the place. It looks like she has been doing to for years. Anyways, I got Ellie to follow me into the bedroom the other night. I was folding clothes and Ellie crawled to our dresser and was playing with it. I called for Josh to take some pictures. Here is what he got:

Newest thing

Just an update on us:

I am sooo ready for school to be out for Fall Break!! I need a break from my students before I kill them!! They act like such babies and want me to do everything for them!!!

Anyways.....(deep breath to calm down)...

Ellie has started to crawl!! Yeah!! She will crawl a few steps (I guess that's what you call it) and then fall on her stomach and whine. She is really good at the military crawl (on her tummy using her arms). I guess it's time to baby proof the house!! She has also learned to say "ma ma ma". I think she is finally starting to realize who Mama and Dada are. I agree with Josh, I think she was calling both of us dada. Here lately she has been the biggest mommies girl!! Anyone who has been around us can tell. She will cry (really I should say scream) until I pick her up!!! I love it that she wants me because I know in about 15 years she will not want anything to do with me. So I am living it up right now. But I do wish that she would at least be with Josh (when we are home together) so that I could do things around the house!! I was just telling Josh tonight that I haven't cooked a meal in forever! Really... just ask him! He does all the cooking. I play with Ellie because I can't let her down or out of my sight when I get home!! I really mean that too. I can't even go to the bathroom without her sitting right in the doorway crying because she is mad I sat her down. It gets frustrating!! I need a vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, here are a few pictures we have taking over the past few days.




This last picture was taken because she crawled to her basket of toys and pulled everything out of it!!!!
