Ellasyn is 3 months!

I can't believe three months have gone by. Then again, has it really only been three months!? I never knew that I could love someone so much. It is a different kind of love than I have ever known.

She is getting so big, and changes every day. She is enjoying tummy time and loves to look at her bear that plays music and flashes his red nose. She just talks to it and smiles. I wonder what she is thinking? She rolls over from her tummy to her back, but only after much frusteration. She loves to suck on her arm. I am not sure why... I guess she gave up on her thumb? She is still sleeping well, about a 6-8 hours stretch each night. She is a ladybug for halloween, and has already been to the fall festival at our church.

I have been doing a little design work on the side and also making hair bows to sell at a craft fair. Ethan just finished up his cross country season and has about a week left of 7th grade football. I think we are all glad it is almost over!

Here are some recent pictures of Miss Ellasyn doing what she does best... being the cutest baby in the whole wide world!

Ellasyn goes to OKC

This weekend we went to Oklahoma City to visit family and also for the U2 concert in Norman (which I will post later). Ellasyn did well in the car, until we stopped to switch drivers. She woke up and I spent the last hour or so sshhh-shh-sshh-ing in the back seat with her. We had a great time with everyone and showing off our sweet girl. Ellasyn was a little out of sorts, though. I think that all the extra people and excitement may have been a little too much for her. And the fact that she does not really care for the bottle made things difficult when Mommy and Daddy left her with a whole team of family to care for her. We are so blessed to have such a great family network!

This was Ellasyn's first time out of Texas, meeting Grama, the Ogles (my aunt and her family) and my brother's family (they drove down from Arkansas). She was worn out when we got home!

Sorry there are sooo many pictures... I had a hard time choosing which ones to post.

this one makes me laugh every time... like they have choreographed a routine for us...

Our neice, Penelope Jackson, is a firecracker. She had so much fun playing with her babies, reading, chasing our dog Hollie. Whatever Jude and Ellasyn did, Penny's baby did too. It was so funny to watch her, she is very observant.
