O' Christmas Tree, O' Christmas Tree

As promised some pictures of putting up the tree. I would have more from the trip to get the tree, but as soon as we got there it started pouring so it was a quick selection. The tree went up fine. The only setback was 1/2 of one of the strands of lights was doing this crazy blinking pattern and would then go out for minutes at a time before coming back on again so it had to be replaced after about 1/2 of the ornaments were already on the tree. Ellie, Freddie, and Shadow were excellent help and the final product looks great.

Some new pictures of Ellie hanging out on a rainy day after another pitiful performance by the the most disappointing Dawgs team in a number of years. Ellie is plain embarrassed to being wearing her G outfit right now. Enough about that, check out the blog tommorrow as we have plans to go pick up and decorate our 1st family Christmas tree. Hope to have some good pictures of Ellie, Freddie, and Shadow as we get in the holiday spirit.

 

 

 

 

Shadow

It seems that the stray kitty has taken a liking to Freddie despite the fact that Freddie pays it no attention. Since the kitty appears here to stay, we decided to name him Shadow (because he follows Freddie around everywhere).

 

 

 

Mandy's Wedding

Pictures from Ashley's trip down to Savannah for Mandy's shower and wedding. Even though it was cold and Ashley is a little worn out from traveling with a 2 month old, she really enjoyed seeing so many friends and showing off our little girl.

Ellie Meets The Cavaleri Grandparents

Ellie got to meet her Cavaleri grandparents during her visit to Tifton. I was glad that my grandparents were able to meet sweet pea even though she had a torn up stomach and hollered most of the time.

Kathryn Visits Ellie

Ashley and Ellie stopped in Tifton on their way to Savannah for Mandy's wedding and Kathryn came by to see Ellie.

Uncle Amos, Cousin Matthew, and Gameday

Uncle Amos and Cousin Matthew stopped thru last night to see Ellie before heading out early this morning to Auburn. A few pictures from the visit and Ellie in her gameday gear.

Happy Birthday E.W.

Ellie poses up to wish her granddadday E.W. a Happy Birthday. She wishes she could give you a big hug.

Ellie Enjoys Play Yard and Baby Bjorn

Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I was on call last weekend and so there has been a shortage of time to both take new pics and post. Ellie is growing daily. She is starting to get into more of a routine at night sleeping for 5-6 hours after she gets put down. Unfortunately, once she wakes up around 1-2 am she gets back on the every 2-3 hr routine. Hopefully, as she continues to get bigger she will start sleeping longer and longer. Anyway, these are some pictures from Ellie's new favorite things. She likes her play yard and she is now big enough to put in the baby bjorn. The baby bjorn is like benedryl and Ellie knocks out after being in it for a few minutes. Ashley even cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed, and did laundry with Ellie in tow.

I Thought I Saw A Pussycat... I Did, I Did

Ellie went for her 6wk checkup today. She was 8lbs 1/2oz and 22in long. She is only in the 10th percentile for her weight, but the doctor said he was happy with her weight and that she is just going to be petite. She has been gaining at a good rate. He was very impressed with how alert she was and how sweet she was being. She did get her first shots, but other than a scream right after they gave it to her she did well. As a matter of fact she was so good that Ashley and her went straight from the doctors office to vote. Evidence of both in the posted pictures. Ellie with her Tweety Bird band aid and Ashley with her I Voted sticker.

Boiling Peanuts

As Ashley and Mrs. Serita did a little shopping saturday, Mr. Chappie, Ellie, and Me boiled some peanuts and grilled some chicken wings. OK, Ellie was more of a supervisor than anything and eventually she needed a break from all the hard work so we put her in her boppy lounger and set it on the glider in the back yard. The weather was beautiful and anytime she started to stir we just rocked the glider and she was out again. Nothing like a good nap on a warm fall day.
