I have been waiting for it to get colder so I could dress in her in this outfit. Everyone should have striped polyprop long underwear for winter. Too bad she isn’t quite old enough for snowboarding!
Ellie is gaining weight and thigh rolls. She now has more hair than any baby I have seen and it keeps growing. Ellie has also received her New Zealand passport; our little girl officially has dual citizenship.
My parents came out to say good bye to a very close friend to us last week. While Ellie didn’t know what was happening, she sensed something was different. She didn’t forget Grandma or Granddad’s voices and gave each of them big smiles with her tongue sticking out.
Ellie is getting much better about holding her head up during tummy time, long enough to read the squishy turtle book. This past weekend she was on her tummy and to everyone’s surprise was able to lift one arm at a time and place it where she wanted it. Then she gave a big push and rolled over.
Look who I caught in the parking lot of our local shops. Now that Ellie is holding up her head, Victoria thought she would give the Baby Bjorn a try. Ellie enjoyed looking at everyone and at all the colours in the clothing stores. If you were wondering where Ellie found those stylish booties, Victoria made them!
Once again Ellie was the center of attention during Granny and Grandpa’s (Gwynn and Bobby) visit. I think all this attention is getting to Ellie’s head. So much, that now you have to hold her facing out so she can see all her people and to check if we are looking at her. Everyone was very surprised to see Ellie using the weight of her head to pull herself forward into a sitting position.
It has been almost 2 weeks since the last post. Many things have happen and I will attempt to post them over the next few days. Don’t worry the camera didn’t stop during those 2 weeks.
It’s getting colder and raining over here. Ellie is getting ready for winter. She has learned how to push her beanie down over her eyes when you’re not looking. Then she starts to frown and next the face goes red. If you don’t fix it by then, it is possible that you will hear a cry. If you do catch the beanie in time you could try to play “peak a boo” with her but she is still learning what Dad is trying to do.
