Easter Pictures

We went and got our Easter pictures done today. I like that Elisabeth was born in June, so her 6 mo. pics were Christmas-ey, and 9 mo can be Easter- and june is summer time!!

We've had to put E on some medication because of some intestinal issues and she has been a disaster since Tuesday. We've gone through a lot of clothes, and she hasn't been feeling well. Despite that though, I'm quite pleased with how the pictures turned out.

I wish I could have bought them all, but they don't let you do multiple pictures on the same sheet. So I had to stick to ones I really liked. Here's some of them :)


Oh Chocolate? I like chocolate!


I like it A LOT!!!!!



MAAAAMMM Why'd you take my candy away!!!!! (this is my favorite!!)




My fav. family pic- it is too big for my scanner so it go cropped a bit, but it still looks good






twinkle toes






Apparently if you suck on your lips, you don't drool. hahaha







This one wasn't planned, we were just trying to get her to smile- absolutely adorable though


I sure love my itty bitty family :)

9 Things I've Learned

1. I've learned that stale ends of French bread are better than any toy...
2. I've learned that said bread is great to get mushy and paint with...
3. I've learned that white cabinets look much better with said paint...
4. I've learned it's OK to go to the store with teething biscuit love all over your shirt, as long as your face is clean (haha)
5. I've learned that no matter how many times Ells falls backward like a plank of wood, she's always willing to get back up and try again (sorry Shel, the goose egg is gone :( )
6.I've learned that 9 month olds can say 'Hi, Dad' at the correct time and to the right person.
7. I've learned that after sitting in the sun, my legs are nasty pale and I'm OK with that
8. I've learned that Ells can scoot, but she hasn't realized the power behind it yet- and that, too, I am OK with :)
9. I've learned that unless I'm home for a longer stretch of time, nothing gets clean- my week off is to spend time with my little girl, not to clean the house, and this couldn't make me happier.

This was the best $15 ever spent- she even tried to smack Drew when he took it away. hahahahaha

She refused to wear her hat, so we went inside after about 10 minutes since I'm anti-sunscreen in hair person.

haha

I got this from my friend, A on her blog- very funny!

Funny this is, is that I haven't had more caffeine than what's in chocolate since before August 2008 (and maybe longer, that's just my point of reference that I KNOW!).... how you like them apples?

Meet Miss 9 Months Old!

Happy 9-month-iversary! (OK, Drew said I can't call them --iversaries since it only happens once, not yearly, but I say PoohPooh to that!)

Things we can do now that we're "big" :

Tell Daddy how to play his games...


Show everyone TWO teeth instead of 1...


Find my belly button at record speeds...


Let mommy humiliate me in the backyard to make sure everything is a "Go" for Easter...


And lastly, scoot in the hallway after I decided this is where I wanted to sit down...

Mmmhmmm, Very grown up!

(and for comparisons sake, here 8 months)
(she's the same height, and has gained ~1.25lbs)- 28.5", ~23.5lbs (it varied depending on if she was alone, with Drew, or with me, so it was a bit of a guess, so we averaged it!) (96% weight, 74% height---which I have a hard time believing cause I feel she is TALL!, 95% for head circumference)---I did a little tweaking and apparently 97% is the highest is goes. hahaha (at least the one I was using)


(8 months w/Blaire)

some fun pics

We played at the capital today- sad part was that my camera died after about 5 minutes. I used my phone for some of the pics, but I think we might take another trip tomorrow cause I wanted more pictures!

On these, I just played with some photoshop stuff- I don't think I'll do it often, but it's definitely fun for a change.








and one last one of the cutie brushing her teeth
