Caffiene highs and lows

Well, we started out Ellie's day with a trip to Caribou. She LOVED her coffee. She wanted to touch it and play with it! Too bad mommy got to drink it!









Now here's Ellie after church. Almost a caffiene CRASH!

Homecoming!

I got the wonderful opportunity to go along with a friend (that I haven't seen in a while) to her homecoming dance at a local highschool. She looked beautiful! Her date to the dance brought with him my good friend Michelle and the 4 of us had a blast!

Bath Time!

We don't have a bath mat yet so she always slides to under the faucet. So she's had fun playing with the water. She makes all these funny noises when the water hits her in the face. LOVE IT!

Mama called the Doctor and the Doctor Said...

She's 20 lbs 9 ounces! That puts her in the 45% for weight. BUT she's in the 95% for height!

So the doctor said that I should put more butter on her food! I was hoping she meant MY food, but I was wrong....bummer....

The Doc also said she's doing great! Growing great! Developing great! And should get more teeth soon. Then when we looked in her mouth we discovered that her third tooth (top left) finally barely poked through! Whew! We were getting a little nervous!

Birthday's all done!

Someone was POOPED. She passed out pretty quick after the car started moving. She was OUT. It took a little to wake her up! We sure do love our 1 year old!

Ellie's party!

These are Ellie's bestest friends, Ava Stumbo (on the right) and her cousin Summer (on the left)! They had a lot of fun playing together!

Presents are so fun too!

Mommy and Daddy's not-so-great baking skills!

Still not as messy as Mommy was hoping for!

Stumbo family visit!

Ellie and Ava are so cute together! They have such fun being little girls! We loved having them here for the weekend - we need to have them over again soon....hint...hint! Love you guys!

Happy First Birthday!

These are from the party at G&G Larsen's house the day of her actual birthday! She's far too dainty with her cake. Definately not from her mother!

11:24 am Sept 13 2007

Because I get to hang out with her all day - I get to take tons of pictures. I turned the time stamp on to get a picture at the exact time she was born. 11:24 she came into the world but she takes better pictures at 11:25 and 11:26. Her temp is low now again. Tylenol is a wonderful blessing for mommies and daddies!

BIrthday Girl!

It's Elliat's first birthday! She's still a little groggy. Probably because she's sick! Bummer. Last night her temp got to 104. So I got to stay home with her! I'm sad for her - but, selfishly, a little happy that I get to spend the day cuddling with her. This morning her temp was 100.7 - much better! She's happy as ever though. If you didn't touch her (and feel how warm she is) you'd never know she was sick!

Out of 13 pics this morning. 9 are like this one. I didn't get a good one with her eyes open.
She's a lot like her mom.
