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.

Our Forward Facing Big Girl

This one's for Grandma Mathiesen!

Grandma Mathiesen has some pictures in her bathroom of babies playing with toilet paper so when Ellie went for ours (while waiting for the tub to fill up) we thought it would be funny to let her go wild!
Tim has an obsession with taking pictures of her from above. I can't tell you how many pictures we have of her and ones I've deleted from the camera (with permission) of her head. This one was cool because of the water....

Cousins!

We met at a park this afternoon with Tim's side of the family for a birthday picnic. Joy was in her glory with having both girls there. Summer is 4 months older than Ellie and is into giving hugs and kisses! They were pretty cute!

Great G & G Larsen!

Right before we headed back home we stopped at Grandma Joy's Mom and Dad's house for lunch. Ellie got to eat in an old fashioned highchair and sit at the table with all of us. She did pretty well til she saw this old picture of Daddy (the far far left boy with really short shorts and really tall socks that are hidden behind the small picture). She laughed and giggled (just like her mommy!)!!!
