Amphibious?

Ellie has never been a big eater and she has really turned into a very picky eater lately. The only thing she eats consistantly is butterbeans, chicken fingers, cereal bars, and hot dogs. We have tried all kinds of thing to get her to eat, but usually she starts screaming and shaking her head when anything else gets put on her plate and will pitch a fit if you try to make her try it. Well tonight started off the same way with some gerber potatoes and brocolli, but we eventually just put the spoon on her tray. Curiosity got the better of her and she eventually picked the spoon up and took a bite. This isn't anything new, she has been playing with the spoon for a while, but the new thing was that she went back for more and actually began feeding herself with the spoon(more or less). She started with the left and then went to the right. Who knows, she may be amphibious (aka ambidextrous).

Birthday Tailgate

It was a great fall day in Athens on Saturday which was made even better by celebrating Dad's birthday with a big win. The tailgate was fun and after a disappointing season it sure will be nice going back to work Monday sporting my Georgia scrub hat.

EW With ESPN Face Time on His Birthday

Dad got his 4 seconds of fame during the UGA/AU game. Ashley and I were not sitting with him, but I got 6 texts messages and a phone call from people who saw him and Ashley got several texts as well. It was a good birthday for him all the way around

Rare Form

Ellie was in rare form after dinner tonight and putting on quiet a show. This is a short video of blowing kisses, playing peek a boo and giving high fives.

Halloween Sneak Peak

Ellie and Ashley went to a fall picnic this past Sunday and here are a few pictures of Ellie trying out her lady bug costume.

Fall Saturday and Pumpkin Carving

For the first time all fall all three of us were here and we had no plans. Since UGA wasn't playing we had a fun family day. We went to the new Target and Ellie got a new big girl car seat. Then Ellie and Ashley took long naps while I watched football on the couch. We then went to the store and got a pumpkin to carve. Ellie was busy this afternoon with playing outside, coloring, taking care of her baby, messing with Freddie, and helping Ashley with dinner and the laundry.

Random Pics

A couple of pictures of Ellie from the last couple of weeks.

Tailgate Pictures

Better late than never, here are the pictures from the LSU-UGA tailgate. Sorry for being so slack on the blog lately. I'll try to do better as we head into the holidays.

Shake Your Booty

Day At The Zoo

I have been on vacation this week and thought since the weather was so nice Ellie and I would make our 1st trip to the Birmingham Zoo. Ellie was pretty laid back throughout the experience, but she didn't like the tigers. We both had fun and look forward to a return visit in the future. Maybe next time we'll take Ashley.
