Happy Valentine's Day!

Our little angel turned 3 months old today!  My how times flies!  I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day tomorrow.  Our neighbor is coming over today and Dave and I are going to go out to lunch together :)

Jumperoo!

As of late, Ellie has become a huge fan of kicking anything that crosses her path, so we figured she was ready for a jumper!  Boy, were we right!  She loves the thing!  Money well spent! 



How cute is she?!












Besides the jumper, Ellie got some groovy new PJs yesterday :)

Cameras rolling!

Ellie laughed for the first time the other day and has yet to do it again.  She gets so close!   Here she is playing with Dad :)



We discovered this morning that Ellie really likes to be naked.  She seriously sat like this for like 15 minutes, watching music videos in her birthday suit...haha...

SnOMG!

Holy snow!   We've gotten pummeled by what is probably the biggest snowstorm to possibly ever hit the Baltimore area.  Dave measured at seven o'clock this morning and there was already 21 inches down!  I think we're up to about 28 inches or so now!  It's crazy!  I have family in Canada and Montana, and we've gotten more snow than they have this winter.  Go figure!  We gotten some good shots of the storm so far!  Hopefully I don't have to go anywhere this week.  I don't think we're getting plowed anytime soon!

Pretty view off of our patio!

Our banister at about noon today...

The finished product.  Do you see how tall that snow is?

Kirb-man loves the snow!

Take me in Mommy!  It's cold!

"Hurry up and take the picture!  My toes are frrreeeezzzzing!"

Here are some other pictures from the week...

Great family picture :)

Growing Girl!

Big girl!
I took Ellie to the doctor to get weighed yesterday-she's up to 11 pounds 14 ounces! Girlfriend is growing! It looks like her Zantac is working well! She seems to be back to her old self again and is back to eating well--thank goodness! We've started back up on the bottle, which has been relatively successful. She takes about an ounce to two ounces from me each morning out of the bottle with NO TEARS! She latches right on, but I think she is only going to take so much from me. Why would she take a whole bottle when the real goods are right there in front of her? Hah! Hopefully once she goes to daycare (sniff sniff) she'll take right to it. Hopefully...

Speaking of daycare, I'm down to 21 days left of my maternity leave. I'm so sick over the whole situation. I want more than anything to be a stay at home mom, but I just don't know if we can swing it and I promised myself I would give work a try. I totally trust the daycare that we've chosen, but it's just so hard to imagine leaving her for so long everyday. Everyone laughs at how upset I am over it and says that it will get better. I just don't know. Leaving her just feels so wrong and I don't think I will get over that feeling. We'll see I suppose. Anyway, here's what everyone wants....pictures!

She's getting so good at grabbing her toys!
She's so silly! She really did put herself like this all on her own!
Sitting up!
