Crawling, and Teeth, and Food, Oh My!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post!  It's been crazy around here lately!  Ellie is still not feeling well.  She definitely feels better than she did, but she's got this cough and snotty nose that just doesn't seem to want to go away.  The cough, unfortnately, seems to be worse when she is sleeping, but doesn't wake her up too often, thank goodness!  Whatever she had got passed to me, and my Thursday ended with a three hour trip to to urgent care doctor.  I've got bronchitis and a secondary infection in my lungs.  So, with some prednisone and Z-Pac, I'm feeling a little better.  Far from 100% though! 

Aside from the sickness going around, summer is quickly approaching, and I couldn't be more ready to spend some quality home time with my #1 girl!  She is growing so quickly.  Her array of foods these days include pears, peaches, bananas, butternut squash, avocados, and oatmeal.  Oh, AND she tried those little Gerber Puffs yesterday and is chomping them up with the best of them!  She won't get many, but I figure they're good practice for finger foods since they melt in her mouth so fast.  Of course, she's still breastfeeding.  I must say that I am pretty proud of myself for making it this far.  We're 7 months in, and my goal of nursing for a year doesn't seem so daunting these days.  It's a lot of work, but so well worth it.  Through all the sickness, Ellie has sprouted TWO teeth!  I think I got two pretty good shots of them:

Hmm...Let's see.  What else has been going on?  Last night, our friend Robyn came over, and Dave and I FINALLY got to meet her hubby, Mike.  I think they hit it off really well.  We cooked out, played with the baby, and after she went to sleep, we watched a good movie, double date style :)  Ellie's coughing initially was pretty bad, and we all felt terrible, but it quickly subsided, and we got to enjoy the rest of our evening, worry free.  It was great to have people over who are really conscious and respectful of the fact that there is a wee one in the house!  

Robyn and Ellie chillin' at our house...

Here are some more shots from the week:

That's quite a fashion statement!  (Sad that it almost fits his head...haha)

She's never look more grown up!

Wish I knew what she was looking at!

Such a big girl!  She's been sitting on her own for a few weeks now!

I hope everyone has a great week!  Enjoy the weather :)
