A big week...

Whew! Another week has come and gone... Can't believe it's been over a week since I last posted. Doesn't seem possible. Somehow I got through the week without taking hardly any pictures! Crazy, I know! But it was a big week in Ellie-land... Not only did she eat cereal for the first time (subsequent times have been just as funny as the first! She's not too crazy about this solid food gig. :)... but she also got her FIRST TOOTH!!! My little girl is growing up on me! It wasn't too traumatic. She got really fussy last Tuesday night right as I was getting ready to pack her up and head to a Bible Study. I thought I might have to cancel she was so upset, which is very out of character for her... But it was nothing a little baby tylenol couldn't help. And sure enough, after all that crying, POP! A little tooth! :) Her other first this week - having long enough hair that I can put a BIGGER bow in it! Ha! I sure hope she ends up being a girly girl, or she's gonna hate all this pink and all these bows!

Saturday ended up being a BEAUTIFUL day here in Manhattan. 73 degrees and sunny! Crazy for January 31st, but we took full advantage of the day and got out to do some yard work. After a couple of hours of going at the yard with the help of my hubby, I called a few of my girls to come over to help out as well! Ellie got to sit outside in her stroller and take in the fresh air and laugh at us as we raked and cleaned out the landscaping. This is one of the pics that I took. Please disregard how grubby I look. This is at the end of all the raking! :) But Ellie still looks as cute as can be, as do the other girls! From left to right: Betsy, Jena (who just dropped in at the end...don't worry, she didn't do yard work in that pretty outfit!), me, baby Ellie and my other Ellie!

So it was a fun and full week all in all! We're looking forward to all this week has in store! :)
