HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY Our first VALENTINE'S DAY with our little sweetheart! Oh what a FUN day! Ellie got to wear her new pink and red outfit for the day... We started off having breakfast with some friends of ours, Jacob and Michelle and their little girl Adiella. Then this afternoon, Daddy took the two of us girls to Topeka for a yummy Valentine's meal and some SHOPPING! Ellie was a trooper as we dragged her around stores. She just smiled and met new friends. She's quite the little charmer and she's never met a stranger. I keep thinking that maybe she'll get stranger anxiety, but not up to this point! She'll smile and go to anyone, which is a lot of fun...
We pulled out the scale tonight to see how big our little squirt is getting... well, not very big at all! She weighed in at a whopping 15 lbs. 13 oz. , which is only 2 1/2 oz bigger than at her 6 month check-up where she was in the 25th percentile. I think we need to start fattening this girl up, so we'll work on that for next month. :)
Finally, here are some of Ellie's new accomplishments as of the last few days. She is now VERY mobile...scooting around like crazy! She continues to scoot herself BACKWARDS under things. It's so cute. We're always finding her stuck under some piece of furniture. If you put a toy out in front of her, she will try to go for it, but ends up moving herself backward. :) She also started clapping her hands this week and chatting a ton. She just says "ba ba ba", but she will say it so many times in a row and with such voice variation that she's sure she's having a big conversation with you and telling you some very important things! It's been so fun to see her little personality continue to develop. This is my FAVORITE stage yet! (until next month, anyway! :)

Ellie is so adorable!! I totally agree that each stage is the 'favorite!' Your family is precious... glad you had a great Valentine's day!
It was so nice seeing you and Ellie at church this morning and chatting for a bit! :) I LOVE all the new sweet Ellie pics...she is such a doll! I know what you mean about loving "this" stage the best so far. I think that same thing every month, (that the current stage is my favorite), then the next stage comes and I have even more fun than I did before! Children are definitely a blessing from the Lord! :)
