Show N Tell

Since I like to brag and feel good about myself, I now introduce you to

*my* *brand* *spankin* *new* *car*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't win it off of the Price is Right, but it sure feels like it! Sad to say, but this is the first car that has actually been *mine* rather than a loner, or sharing with Drew. AND for the icing on the cake- I got to choose the type, AND color! teeheehee -it's a 2010 (had 8 miles on it when I got in!) Toyota Rav4 w/a v6 engine+4wheel drive and all that other neato stuff that I can't remember!

What I like most about it? I can go speedy fast, AND it's big at the same time. It's like driving a sports car box- it's amazing!





And for those that only come for the pictures (I know that's all I look at on other's blogs---if it's all words, I don't read it- sorry. lol) - here's the wee one that hasn't had an afternoon nap in 1.5 weeks. Poor thing. I'm glad she sleeps with here eyes covered, cause that camera flash would have woken her up otherwise!

Comparisons

For comparison sakes, here's monthly pictures of our little girl and how she's grown. The first one (technically at birth) is when she's 3 1/2 days old, and not by Blaire, so please forgive. But the rest are taken when she is 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 4 months.

Ellie at 4 days old- she still had her umbilical cord even! <3



Ellie at 1 month old!


Ellie at 2 months old


Ellie at 3 months old


My monster at 4 months old! LOL

She's 1/3 of a year old!

So she wasn't as big as I thought!

Hi There!


I figured Ellie was in the fat, fat, fat percentile, but when we took her in for her 4-month check-up. This is what they had to say:

Height: She's 25.25" tall (not long people) lol which is the 73rd percentile- shocking, I know!
Weight: 16lbs 3oz- 88th percentile- I thought it'd be higher?
Head: 41 Centimeters- which surprisingly, is only the 39th percentile. And here I thought she had a bulbous head!

She got her booster shots and didn't even cry on the first one. The second one takes a little longer to inject, so she cried, but was easily calmed, which I'm thankful for! She didn't even seem to need Tylenol that night for the pain! - she was happy as can be, cooing up a storm, and wiggling like a fishy at bath time!


Daddy and baby's favorite pastime- watching football


Look how I like to stand up!


Good thing daddy's phone is in an otter box! That way I can slobber all over it, and it's OK!


Me Chinese!

Pumpkin Patch and other goodies

I wanted to wait until we had carved our pumpkins before posting these pictures, but I don't think we're going to be able to get to carving them until this weekend. I thought pictures would be enjoyed, so here they are!










Almost about to tip over!


She's learned to arch her back and she can get places!


She found her toes! Now her chubby legs just need to get longer so she can get those toes in her mouth more often


It's hard to get 3 people in a picture!


The Halloween costume! Bunny with her bunny!

For the record - 4J6127C8TXL

I just wanted to put it out there that my beautiful black 60gb ipod got stolen out of my classroom over the weekend. Yes, I locked my door, yes I think I know who did it, but since I can't do much about it other than alert the police and let them take over, I wanted to at least get my serial number searchable in case anyone comes upon it in the next while. 4J6127C8TXL is on the back of it. I can also tell you what songs/movies should be on there assuming no one has wiped it clean. If anyone knows anything about it, please let me know!!!
