a day in the life...

of my 7 month-old Ellie.
(yes, she is SEVEN months today. yikes bikes)

{her face every morning between 6:15 am to 6:30 am...waking up from a FULL NIGHT'S SLEEP...yes, she's still sleeping through the night...insert HUGE jump for JOY and a LOUD shout HOORAY here}

{a good feeding follows a fun-filled bath}

{and some more delicious food...which could range from rice cereal, pears, bananas, apples, and mangoes}

{then it's time to play with her friends. sometimes they dress alike}

{and sometimes she likes to give her friends kisses}


{she'll even say mama and dada now...my brother got it on video. we're still questioning if she really knows what mama and dada mean though...}

{she's learning to multi-task...crawling AND playing with toys at the same time}

{which gets pretty exhausting....and means it's probably time for a morning nap}

{after morning nap, she usually wakes up pretty happy...and is ready for something new to do...like taking out the DVD's and throwing them all over the front room}

{or maybe finding a cool box}

{that she can sit in}

{and of course chew on}

{which means she is probably hungry for another snack...she's a mama's girl when it comes to her love affair with dried mangoes}

{then she lays her eyes on this bad boy full of toys...and decides...i want that.}
{so she kneels in front of the box...and finds a toy or two...and realizes...that she's tired again. time for afternoon nap}


{but don't worry...she wakes up happy... ready to play and smile like a super star}

{and of course, explore that extra big box of toys she was dreaming about}

{so many choices! it's hard for her to decide}

{and before she knows it, it's time for her favorite time of day again...bath time ...yes she gets TWO A DAY...she has the most beautiful skin, so why not!}

{after bath time, it's her most favorite thing to put on a little "show" and climb all around the crib...}

{and fall}

{she loves "ooos" and "aahhhs" and claps for all of her acrobatics and climbing}

{she also has discovered how tasty the railing is}


{then, it's time to chillax with daddy}

{and mommy, while watching baby einstein...she is currently LOVING 'baby's first signs'}

{and loves watching it REALLLY close}

{and gets really sad when it's over and it's time for bed...}

{but looks so cute and cuddly when she's faasssstt asleep}.

i love you, sweet Elizabeth! happy 7 months. please, will you stop growing now?? i like you the way you are...
