Ellie @ 7 Months

She is a happy & very busy baby. The wrapping paper and ribbon are her biggest temptations right now. She started crawling day one of 7 months and has been all over the place since. She loves to eat devours yogurt and chunky real food. She babbles and says bubba bubba and dadda ddada the most.

Nostalgia...

Modern Pastry is our favorite bakery on Hanover street. I love the way they tie your box up with string.

PC's first Red Sox game at Fenway. Thanks Jay & Susan-we miss you!

We are feeling more and more at home in our southern town. It is definitely growing on us but we still feel nostalgic about our northern town. We went to the north end a few days before we moved for cannoli and a stroll. PC loves cannoli so this was a big treat. Paul took these skyline pics from the greenway. Paul & PC also went to a Red Sox game the week that I had Ellie. It was PC's first and he loved it. He had a "free" hotdog bc it was his first game and didn't wanted to stay longer than the grownups.

Silent Night

This picture captures a rare moment of sweet sleep! We've been a bit deprived for the past month. All of us have had the nasty goo that sticks around forever. PC's ended up as an ear infection, E's as sinus infection and Paul had both sinus & bronchitis-YUCK! Unfortunately, E was waking up at least 3x a night. Thank goodness she is on the mend and getting more sleep now..we are looking forward to some silent winter nights..

5 Months

So, Ellie will be 7 months on the 5th but I am just now getting the 5 months shots up. She was sitting up at 5 months if you put her in that position but you had to watch her very well because it didn't last long. She loved riding in the Bjorn outside and meeting other parents at the pick-up spot at PC's school. She loves to pull his hair and kiss his head. Also, she started eating baby food and loved anything orange (go vols or clemson?!). She started using a sippy cup to drink water (or take mini-showers!).

Who needs Toys?

Who needs toys for Christmas when you have buckets? PC has always loved to dump his toys out of their buckets and use them for ships, jungle gyms, etc. He has passed this love on to his sister and I caught them like this the other day. Check out the blue eyes too..they are starting to look more and more like each other.
