A Welch Family Affair: Lovin' Life :)

I think that I am going to come to appreciate my breaks from school far more than I ever thought possible. I am loving being home with my baby girl more than words can express (even though she's being a little pistol this week, but we'll get to that later)!

My trip with my mom is going so great. It's pretty low key, but it's so nice to see her, and I'm realizing that I'm more than ready for them to be back on the East Coast. So ready in fact, that if it weren't for our jobs, I'd probably be pushing to head out West with them. I'm not going to dwell on it, but wishful thinking can never hurt :)

Back to Ellie. My God. This girl has been a firecracker this week! She is pulling a strike against naps, and I have no idea why! We tried her back on solids and it gave her another bellyache, so I think we are going to stop until she is 6 months old and try again. That could very well be her issue. I also think she is cutting some teeth, so that could be the culprit as well. Who knows. I am so guilty of always trying to "solve" Ellie's little phases, but I think I am going to drive myself nuts if I don't stop. I need to develop the "go with the flow" mantra, but it is so not me. I'm working on it!

Here are some more pictures from the week. Can you tell I'm OBSESSED with my mom's camera?

My new safari hat -SO CUTE, even if Daddy doesn't like it :)
