Happy Halloween!

Weekend Happenings

Yesterday, we started out the weekend by introducing Ellabeth to a bottle. She killed it for about 5 minutes and then decided she wanted no more of it.

Later in the day, we dressed her for a cool New England day and ventured to the mall. During a bite to eat at the Chessecake Factory, she needed a little diaper change just as the food arrived! So, Mommy hooked her up tableside.

Happy 21st Birthday to Aunt Caitlyn!!!!

A "Great" Time in Indiana
During their time away, Ellabeth was

able to meet her incredible great grandparents!

This week, Mommy and Ellabeth are off to Indy! Everything went well during her first plane ride - the flight attendents even hooked her up with a "1st flight" certificate.

Happy Birthday Aunt Emily!!!!!!

1 month old
During her 1st month, she enjoyed sleeping 17-20 hours day (though never more than 2 or 3 hours in a row!) and had a nice meal of warm milk every couple of hours.

TUB TIME!

Tonight, we decided to get this little rascal wet and give her a bath.

How did she like it? Check out the video below...

" Birthday!"

Today was Mommy's big day...and here is a rundown of how we spent our morning..

These 2 beauties got a little extra sleep in this morning. Elllabeth did not sleep much last night, rather she enjoyed making grunting sounds every few mintues.

Then Mommy had some presents to open before we would make our 1st venture to church since Ellabeth was born...this would prove no easy task!

Gettin' her praise on

"Beauty Bar"

"Rock Out"

Ellabeth was jamming out today to the new release from the David Crowder Band titled Remedy. She loved it as you can see.

“Faneuil Hall Feeding”

Faneuil Hall, one of the stops on the Freedom Trail in Boston, has been a home for many firsts in America:

- The 1^st town hall meeting in 1743

- The 1^st of the Boston Tea meetings lead by John Hancock

- The 1^st grand stage for abolitionists Frederick Douglas to speak out against slavery

And now… the 1^st public feeding for Ellabeth. Ok, so it probably isn’t as important but it was a 1^st for mom and her! The family ventured into the big city for the 1st time today - she took in all the sounds and smells like a champ.

Momma and Ellabeth decided to get some play time in this morning.

"Shut Eye"

A sleepy, happy family.

"Big Eater"

Ellabeth enjoyed her 1st chicken breast tonight - she wanted a break from warm milk.

"Enough Already!"






We got the sense today that Ellabeth wanted to be left alone to enjoy her 1st lazy Saturday - she shunned the camera, not allowing her face to be photographed and then closed her ears and asked that mommy and daddy please stop trying to wake her up to play.

"Field Trip"

Today, mommy and ellabeth came to visit daddy at his office. She was not too impressed with daddy's job - she was shut eye the whole time.

Later on, mommy and daddy decided to just eat a bunch of junk food for dinner - yummy!

"What are they doing to me!!!!"

Ellabeth visited her physician, Dr. Maslow, today for the first time. She gave a visual of just how much she did not like being naked on the scale! The report - a clean bill of health!

"Birthday Gifts Galore!"

all through the day today, miss ellabeth was flooded with flowers and tasty treats - she especially liked these yummy cookies from some of her great aunts and uncles!
