Cousins

Cousin Mason turns 1 and is not sure what he thinks of his "smash cake"

But the party sure is fun...

Cousins Hayden and Parker are visiting for the summer from Mississippi... fun!

Ok ready?! Get all the kids in the picture... now smile! Oh ok nevermind... good try :)

3 months old

True to myself, I am late on almost everything (with the best of intentions of course!)... so here are some photos taken on the day she turned 3 months old in the basket and PJs she wore at 2 months old. Her toes are trying to bust out of them so its about time to retire this outfit. She's growing longer and longer and not so much wider... but she's also so much more alert and playful. Her little personality is certainly starting to show. She's a really great baby-- so laid back and happy. She has started to laugh and now "talks" (coos) a lot. She is trying to roll over... she can roll herself belly to back but I think is on the verge of back to belly too -- she gets on her side and is all proud of herself.

Speaking of being late with things... I also recently ordered her birth announcements even though I'm pretty sure most everyone we know heard the "annoucement" either via phone, email, this blog or all of the above. But still, something I wanted to do. I found this website www.Doodlebugdezigns.com and the customer service has been great! (FYI for my many preggo and mommy friends) Hopefully we'll get them out before she turns 1!

Father's Day

"My Heart Belongs to Daddy"

I'm full of smiles for my daddy's special day...

Mimi and my daddy can't get enough of me.

We had a great first Father's Day.

Baby Trey

Sweet Baby Trey (James Edward Ellis III). He's such a sweet boy but almost as big as Finley :)

He was dreaming about his future Tebow days... throwing the ball.

Giving you the one-eyed pirate look.

We're so glad he's here... it sure was quite an arrival! Daddy and Jimmy are already talking about marrying Finley and Trey. Oh my.

Baby School

Fin looks completely freaked out and I'm trying to put on a happy face... right before we head out the door for the 1st day of Baby School and back to work. We did much better than expected. Of course, I missed her like crazy and she had some trouble napping the 1st day with all the other babies around, but by Friday we were doing great and she smiles when she sees her teachers.

Baby Trey is here!

Congratulations Meg and Jimmy! Baby Trey is here... we hear he's just like his daddy. And just like Jimmy, he sounds pretty solid at 8 lbs. 14 oz. Mommy Meg is a rockstar. We can't wait to meet him!

Playing at Home

Here's my new PlayGym my daddy bought after Jacob's parents told mom and dad I would love it. They were right. On Monday I am headed to baby school (mom likes that better than "daycare"). Her eyes get real wet everytime she talks about it... but we've been there a couple of times and it seems pretty cool to me. My teachers are really nice and the other babies seem to love it. I can't wait to meet new friends. I just hope mom will be okay without me.
