Everyday moments with Ellie...

Nothing too exciting around the French home these days...just enjoying life and snuggling together! Recent developments:
1. As I'm sure you're all wondering, the first picture is of my hilarious husband in a child's lion costume. One of our hopes is to finish our basement someday and one use would be for a play room. My thought is that I would love to have a collection of costumes and dress up clothes to inspire the imagination and creativity of our children...or my husband. He found a costume that I picked up at a garage sale just too irresistible. Although he found himself stuck for a moment or two once he got it on, I had to get a picture.
2. Ellie's the biggest fan of her silkie teddie blanket as the picture above shows.
3. Rolling is also still her number one form of transportation. She can make it all the way across the room when she's interested in something.
4. She's also starting to have quite the inflection in her voice! It's been really cute to listen to her "ask questions" of daddy and mommy with her voice.
5. She's continuing to have the stranger danger every now and again....It's really funny how quiet and still she gets in new situations.
6. Our little girl is actually quite a big girl! We had to transition out of the travel system carrier and into a convertible car seat! This means she'll be sitting in the high chairs and shopping carts now too!
7. I'm just starting to try to interest Ellie in table food, she much prefers her bottles over anything else, but the verdict regarding Gerber sweet potato puffs is still up in the air... Speaking of eating habits, if anyone has any suggestions for constipated babies, Ellie would be embarrassed if she knew I was asking but...poor thing...she could use some help. After doing some reading today, I'm going to cut out the rice cereal, applesauce and bananas for awhile and load up on the prunes, peas and water.
