Let it Snow!

Ellie experienced her first real first snow storm today,

and was not the snowbunny we thought she'd be.

She wasn't particularly fond of sitting in the snow.

Baby-in-a-Box

Ellie received a package in the mail and loved the cardboard box.

Trying the Cup

Ellie is moving onto the sippy cup.

She could still use some practice!

Ellie's Birthday Party

We celebrated Ellie's first birthday on Saturday, December 1st. Ellie loved having cake again!

Birthday Girl!

Ellie is 1! She loved looking at the wrapped presents and enjoyed a special dinner on November 28th with Hadley, her birthday buddy. We can't believe our baby is one year old!

First Cake

This is Ellie's first ever birthday cake that I made for her.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was Ellie's first Thanksgiving. We had an early birthday celebration for her with the Palmieri cousins. We are so very thankful for Ellie, and she seems to be thankful for dolls and cake!

Paper Trail

Ellie loved opening her Thanksgiving book from Mimi and Papa.

Uh oh! Someone has taken a special liking to the bathroom and playing with toilet paper.

Water Baby

Bathtime is one of Ellie's favorite activities.

She loves the tub!

Mid November Happenings

Ellie has been busy lately. She still loves to read and leave her books all over her bedroom, she tried her new fleece bear suit on for the first time this weekend and then had to take a nap with John because of all of the excitement.

Active Girl

We bundled Ellie up for a walk today. She was very cozy!

She then crawled around and played the game of dumping her toys all over the living room.

Favorite Game

Ellie loves to take out the contents of her baskets in her room.

She recently has also taken a special liking to her lamb chair.

Happy Halloween!

Ellie celebrated her first Halloween today.

We think she is the cutest little pumpkin there is!

She even tried to get into the Reese's peanut butter cups.

Ellie is 11 Months Old!

Ellie turned 11 months old today. She is becoming such a big girl!

Costume Party

We went to a Halloween Party on Thursday with Ellie's friends, Will, Ella and Olivia.

Pumpkin Hat

Our Elizabeth is getting into the Halloween spirit by wearing her pumpkin hat.

Fun Sunday

Ellie had a fun Sunday -

Cassie came to visit us from Boston for the afternoon.

John and Ellie then played an exciting game of peek-a-boo.
