My munchkin

This is just a post to brag about my favorite daughter. Ellah is now 5 months old. It has been such a blessing to have her in our lives. She is the best baby...hardly ever cries, sleeps all night most of the time, always in such a good mood. She's bashful and sweet, and so playful. She'll kick her legs when you make her smile and wiggle around a bunch. She loves it when you clap your hands for her. She can roll around now, chomp on her toes, fit her entire fist in her mouth, and has even been sucking on real food! Sometimes I wish I could just keep her this small forever, but I'm so excited to watch her grow.

Maize Fall Parade

October 9th was the Maize Fall Festival Parade! Ellah and Mom went and watched the parade with Loni, Eric, Addie, Jenny, Kevin, Parker, Maus, & Gpa Kirk. And apparantly, parades will be something that maybe she'll enjoy next year! haha Ellah didn't really like the sirens and horns and bands and drums and all that parade loudness. But the weather was nice and we got to hang out with the rest of the fam!

Pumpkin Patch!

October 8th, Ellah and Mom, Jenny and Parker, and Loni, Eric, and Addie all went to Cox Farms. Although slightly disappointed by what the pumpkin patch had to offer, we all had a lot of fun. Ellah and Mom went on a cow train ride with Addie and Parker. Yep, Mom got to ride along! Wwweeeee!!!! And probably a little bumpy for Ellah's liking. We got to watch Parker and Addie go down a slide and put our faces in some silly bodies! Mostly we got to take some really cute pictures of the kids running around and being cute trying to pick out their pumpkin. : )

Update!

Ellah was put on Propranolol in August for her Hemangioma and it seems to be helping A LOT! Within 3 days you could tell a huge difference. Every time we take her to KC they take pictures of her face to track its progression. So I won't post any pics here. There are a ton of pics that the doc is going to put on a CD for us when her treatment is all done. 2 1/2 months later on Propranolol, her cheek is just a pink color, no more swelling, and you can see all those litte blood vessels! She's doing so good!

Cousin Lovin'

Ellah is so close to her cousins. She's so lucky to get to see them so often! Addie HAS to give her lots of kisses when we visit. Ellah gets a little slobber bath every time! And Parker gets excited to see her too. He seems so protective of his cousins, Addie and Ellah. They will be such good friends, the 3 of them....I can already tell!

4th of July!!!

For the 4th of July Ellah and Cassie went to Uncle Kirk's house to celebrate with Loni, Eric, Harv, and Addie. The pops and sparks didn't even phase Ellah!
