And we're crawling....

We now have a little girl that is on the move!! These days Elli sports bright red knees from moving all around! She does really well getting to where she needs to go. Today, she went from one side of the room to the other without taking a break or falling! It has been fun to watch her learn how to crawl. Elli definitely likes us around her at all times and knows exactly where we go once we get up and leave her side!

Motivated to go get her toy....look at that sweet face :)

Elli did this on Saturday night for quite some time. We had no clue what she was doing, but she thought she was pretty funny and we thought it was cute :)

We had a great weekend of relaxing, going to the mall, and seeing friends. Amber, Jeremy, and Kensley even stopped by on their way home from Cleveland on Saturday for a couple hours. We got lunch, laid the girls down for a nap, and then met one of Amber's college friends and her family at the mall.

Scott took Elli and I out on a date on Saturday night! Elli got to see yet another famous person, Eddie George, at the mall (Only 6...well almost 7 months and she's already seen 2 famous people). Elli didn't get many naps in on Saturday, so we cut our night short to get Elli dinner (mmm...squash) and off to bed...she had had enough!

Today we added lunch to Elli's schedule! She's doing well with her finger foods! She loves her fruit puffs and cheese puffs. She also really enjoys eating cheese....she is my daughter :) We worked on getting her to feed herself the puffs/cheese at dinner tonight. She was able to bring her fist to her mouth, but had no clue she was supposed to open her hand to get the food in her mouth. At least she is trying! We've introduced her to a sippy cup! Right now she thinks it is fun to chew on it; however, she actually took a drink from it yesterday and I think the water surprised her! She is growing and learning new things everyday!

We get to wake up to this smiley face everyday....How lucky are we??

Picture of our girls....love spending time with both of them!

Elli LOVES petting and watching Bella.

Watching Bella catch the ball

Up and moving....1st time crawling on the grass....

Oops....she fell on the way....

"Don't worry Mom....I'm ok"

Elli got a couple of wagon (well...this is actually Scott's lawn wagon, but it works for rides) rides throughout the neighborhood this weekend! She loves to be in the wagon and was the talk of many people as we walked by some garage sales!!

We will be celebrating Elliana's 7 month birthday on Thursday....seriously....that sounds so old!! She is so sweet and is at such a fun age. She is laughing multiple times a day which we think is just the cutest thing ever!

We finally got Elli's 6 mo. pictures back. We didn't get tons of smiles, but got some pretty cute pictures. Elli has had her picture taken professionally 3 times since she's been born and I'm excited to finally get some pictures up around the house. We decided to finally decorate our formal living room....ok let's be honest...I decided and told Scott I was going to! He surprisingly said "Ok!!!!!!!" Hopefully here soon we will have that area done....thankfully my friend Kelli is going to help with the decorating since it isn't my favorite thing to do!!
