Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful trip to Chautuaqua, NY - Grandma's house - for the holidays! Christmas and New Years with the Swanson family was a BLAST! Elle was sick much of the time (so were Mom and Dad!) but we still had fun! We celebrated Monica's baby with a Swanson Girls Shower! It was a great week of celebration, relaxation, fun in the snow and lots of food! We already miss everyone!

Happy New Year!!

Unplanned Hiatus

Merry Christmas!

Sorry for the unplanned hiatus! Our laptop was in the shop for a while and then we got busy with holiday stuff and then we got a new camera... so now I am finally back to get some pictures uploaded!

So much has happened since we last wrote! Elle has one tooth in (her bottom left front) and the other bottom tooth is making it's appearance now so we are up to two teeth! Elle started crawling late in her seventh month so now has about a month of crawling under her belt and she is pretty good at it (although not too fast which is good for those chasing her)!

She is still nursing four times a day but she also eats 2-3 meals of almost people food too. She likes pretty much everything we give her and it has been fun to introduce new foods to see how she reacts!

Elle is saying moma, dada and byebye but we are not too sure that she knows what she is saying! She is so funny - when you wave and say byebye she will wave and say it back!

I am in love with my new camera that Andy got me for Christmas so I will have even more material for the blog!

Merry Christmas to all! We are so blessed!

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord." -Luke 2:10-11

Santa and Gram!

Last weekend Elle met Santa for the first time! She was in awe and just wanted to stare at his face instead of smiling for the camera. Here is one of the pictures from that fun day!

Gram came down to Atlanta with Uncle Jim and Aunt Judi for Thanksgiving! We are so excited to have them here! Elle met her Great Grandmother (and namesake!), Gram for the first time yesterday! They sure did love each other! More pictures to come after Thanksgiving but we wanted to get one up now...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We love the fall!

Fall in Atlanta is amazing! The weather is perfect and there are a lot of fun activities for everyone! Elle went to her first football game - Uncle Joe's high school team played on Halloween so she dressed up. Elle loves playing in the leaves so we got some pictures of her in the middle of a huge leaf pile! Elle is now 7 months old so we got a few pics on that day too!

Our Little Monkey

Today we went to a neighborhood Birthday party where all the kids were invited to wear their costumes! It was such a fun party and Elle loved her monkey outfit! She had fun playing with the other lamb, lion, lady bug, panda bear and other cute characters! Elle was so cute in her costume we had to get these pictures up right away! :)
