Ellie the Model

Patrick is taking a photoshop class right now and has done some really cool projects. These are two of them that I thought were really cool! And....what better model than this cute little girl:)

8 Months!

Ellie is 8 months old as of yesterday! I can't believe how the time is flying. I love being home with her and watching her grow. Here are some of the things Ellie is doing now.

• She started crawling on January 27th. She started out going onto her knees and then she would scoot backwards, but she finally got going forwards and is now into everything. She is getting pretty fast now too. Last night we were playing a game where Patrick would chase us and we would crawl away. She is just so funny.
• Talks and talks and talks....she loves to make noises. She will say dada and mama(not sure she really knows what she is saying, but it's cute) She talks a lot when she is tired also(Patrick says she gets that from me) She will wake up in the morning and just sing and talk for a while. It is really cute. The other day I would say pee-yew in a high pitched voice and she would try to mimic me. She also loves to squeal.
• Ellie giggles all the time. She is such a happy smiley baby and loves to play peek-a-boo. We will play and she just giggles. She loves to play like she is going to get me and I will chase her to get her. A lot of times when she is laughing she gets going so hard that she snorts!
• She is a really great eater. She will eat pretty much anything we give her. She is getting really good and putting food in her mouth by herself. On Saturday we had ice cream cones and we gave her a little and her eyes lit up and she just kept begging for me. She has also tried snickerdoodles(not sure about those), bread and turkey. She surprisingly really liked the turkey.

I am just having so much fun being a mom and seriously never realized just how much I would love this little girl. She is a blast and just makes me laugh. I am so glad that I have her. Here is a picture from 8 Months. It is getting really hard to get any pictures that either aren't blurry or have her not even looking at you. So much moving....constantly! Happy 8 Months Ellie! We love you!
