Happy Valentines Day!

Little Miss Ellie says "Happy Valentine's Day to ALL!"

She was super busy this morning playing with her new Valentine toy!

Her favorite thing to do was to try and eat the farm animal

Ellie Reese...I hope you have a wonderful 1st Valentine!

We are so happy that you are here to celebrate this year with us!

We love you so!

Beauty Queen

Our beautiful niece Gracie was in a pageant the other night.

We went out to watch her and cheer her on!

She did SO good and looked SO pretty!

Here is a picture with Gracie and her mom.

And here is Gracie and Ellie Bellie.

Ellie LOVES her cousin so much!

Gracie you looked beautiful!

~We love you so very much~

Valentine Truffles

We have been busy this morning making Valentine's Truffles.

Little Monkey

**************************************************************

Ellie loves to climb...on anything and everything she can!

Everytime she thinks she can climb up onto something she will hike her chunky little leg up as far as she can and see if she can get it up far enough to crawl on top.

It is the funniest thing to see!

Well combine her love of the dishwasher and her love of climbing and...

You have Ellie's dream come true!

Obsession

It looks like Little Miss Ellie shares something in common with me...

her obsession with M & M's (or M-ies as we call them)

The other day we were over at my sister's house and after the girls ate their lunch we let them have just a few. I know its awful to give candy to a 10 month old... but I just know how much I love them. Well now Ellie absolutely LOVES them too.

She can hear them from half way across the house.

I guess there will be no more sneaking m-ies for me anymore!

10 Months Old!

Our sweet little angel turned 10 months old yesterday

Oh how time flies!

I think back to this time last year and remember how busy we were getting ready for our sweet little angel to get here. There was SO much to do to get ready for her. And now she is finally here and she is such a sweet blessing from God. She gets sweeter and sweeter every single day. Some days I think she is SO cute and SO sweet that I could just eat her up with I spoon!

I love you so much my sweet little Ellie Bellie!

Here are some things we don't want to forget about you at 10 months...

* The sweet way you have started to wave at anybody you see.

* How you tuck your arms in and lay your head down on my chest when you want to snuggle...I think that this is so so sweet and it just melts my heart everytime you do it.

* Your sassy little crawl...You crawl around like a little wind up doll...its the cutest thing EVER!

* The sweet, sweet sound of your voice. I just LOVE to hear you talk.

*How you have figured out how to open up Jack's pen and let him out. You are so proud of yourself!

*How you have learned to stand up! You look so big when you do this!

* How you are always standing up in your crib ready to "greet" us when we come to rescue you from your bed.

* The sweet way you sing yourself to sleep. Me and your daddy just love to hear this sound...

I cannot believe that in 2 short months you will be 1!

We have some party planning to do!

New Do!

Elle Belle is sporting a new do...

She is not so sure about it though!

***********************************************************

I think that it looks SUPER cute but I do believe it will take some time to convince her of that!
