Chris's accomplishments: power washing and staining the back deck,continuing to master landscaping around our yard, finishing a six-foot privacy fence, and all in all maintaining professional stellar husband and dad status.
Pippy's news: exploring her backyard for the first time completely unhibited by a leash, snuggling up with a pillow AND blanket for movie nights with the fam, and hanging out with her new cousin Molly, Andrea and Jonah's newest golden retriever addition to their family, and officially stealing Ellie's socks (this is her sign of affection, you're truly in with Pipsters if she steals your socks.)
Allison's discoveries: G.T. and the Halo Express sing alongs for Ellie (excellent scripture memory song set to stories...she grew up on the cassette tapes of these, but discvored them on cd!), devouring spinach, stawberry, blueberry, feta cheese and poppyseed dressing salad every day for lunch (yum! thanks to Jolene!), Love Dare (an excellent book), surfing www.etsy.com for completely unnecessary but extraordinarily darling accesseries for Ellie (seriously worth checking out! my husband has Miss Katie to thank for introducing me to this!), and a continued love for Jazzercise (mostly because she gets to take Ellie and have all the grandmas and other moms love on little Ellie-boo).
Ellie's developments: becoming quite a finger enthusiast, sucking and drooling all over her pointer and middle finger, improving and increasing the volume of her belches, chatting it up with her "buggy" and "poodle" on her car seat and to herself before getting up from bedtime and naps, maturing out of being swaddled completely, is almost in all six month clothing, lovig her silkie teddie blanket and growing fond of her rattle, starting to giggle and laugh on a regular basis, and becoming an expert tummy timer, pushing up to look around at her surroundings. In fact, when I placed her on her tummmy this morning to show daddy, she proceeded to roll right on over from her tummy to her back! A first! She did it three times this morning, after which, she promptly forgot how to do it. Either that or she is teasing mommy and daddy and won't do it for the camera...

How sweet! Great update, by the way. I can't believe how big she's getting! Keep taking pictures. She'll be much older and bigger before you know it!

I am glad to hear everyone is doing well! Ellie is so adorable, Al!! I have to admit, I laughed out loud at the picture of Pippy with her sock! Haha! She looked so proud of her discovery!
