Last box of formula

Today you finished your last box of formula.  You are drinking whole milk in your bottles only. Where has my baby gone?

Love you my little toddler!

1 year appointment

You are 1! I can't even believe it!  You are walking exclusively, insisting upon feeding yourself, watching sesame street, babbling, you love your new kitchen set and your pretend cell phones, you love Mandi and loving on her (Roo still hasn't warmed up to you), and riding in your new trike!

you weigh 22 ilbs 10 oz
you are 30 inches long
your head circumference is 46 cm

a happy, healthy, and normal baby!

Your 1st Birthday Party!!

 

 You had a blast, mommy and daddy got you a sweet trike!

11 months

You are walking about 50 percent of the time, but still on stiff peg legs.  You call us by name "momma" and "dad."  You are eating all kinds of food now and much prefer to feed yourself.  Raspberries, green beans, and bread are definitely your favorites. Can't believe you are almost a year old!!

NYC Trip

This is terribly late, but this past October we took a road trip to the Big Apple! We went to see the sights and to attend Ali's wedding.  We drug grammy and grandpa with us, to help with you!  We had a fantastic time touring around, the highlight of the trip was a visit to the Plaza, because every Ellouise needs to go the Plaza :)

your first piggy tail

Your hair is getting so long and you refuse to keep your pretty barrettes in your hair, so Mommy finally tried a pony tail.  You seem to leave it alone and now you can see!  We might be going for a your first haircut soon....

Your first Halloween!

You were a ladybug for your first Halloween, naturally, since your number one nickname is bug :)  You rode in your red wagon and trick-or-treated a couple neighbor's houses on our street, then Miss. Kristen and Ryan came to visit, and then you made a trip over to Sarah and Daniel's.  You were definitely skeptical of the costumes, especially mommy and daddy dressed as Mary Poppins and Bert.
