6 Months!

I can't believe it, Ellie is 6 whole months! Don't ask me where the time has gone, I honestly couldn't tell you. Even though it has flown by, it has been an amazing, crazy, fun, insane, wonderful, surreal, blissful, tough but incredible journey so far. This girl has changed our lives forever!

Punkin Huntin

Today we went to my friends awesome pumpkin patch. We took Ellie to get some cute pictures for Halloween. One big problem though, we could not get her to look at the camera or smile for the life of us! Oh well, she's just such a grump in public and way too distracted now-a-days with everything that's going on. All she wanted to do was eat the hay!

Here's some of the fun photos...



Disregard Ryan's girlie glasses, he had to borrow mine
 
 
 Her first hay ride
 
 All she wanted to do...
 
 Was eat
 
And eat
 
And eat the hay.

 
Oh it gets better...

wait for it...
 
Yep, it's official. She's a hick.
 
 I highly doubt you've ever seen a grumpier looking baby
 
 At least she's a cute, grumpy baby.







The lone picture of her looking at the camera
 
 Ellie aslo got to put her professional petting skills to practice.
 

Not even a moment of hesitation, she went right for it.


 
No big deal, my dog is this size and I ride him all the time.
 
Again, I appologize for the picture overload. But I truly can't help myself!

Almost 6 months...

But I couldn't wait to post these.
 
We had a little photo shoot today. It feels like this girl changes so much from week to week and I just have to document it!

Ryan's mom's friend sent us this adorable little hat. It fits her perfect right now and it's the perfect season for it too!



 
 
 
I think every little girl needs a sailor dress. Ryan's brother Sean gave us this for Christmas when Ellie was still in my belly! Now she finally fits in it!




 
And here's a little Halloween sneak peak...

I thought I'd be creative and take her outside since it was so nice and warm today. She was way too overwhelmed with all the leaves though.
 
And then she got upset.
"But I don't want to be a pumpkin for Halloween mom!"
 
Ok, that's better.
 
Really, all she wanted to do was eat all of the leaves. I couldn't get one decent pic, this was probably the only one you can actually see her eyes in. Oh well.

Like Father Like Daughter

Ellie and Ryan.These two just crack me up. I think they look a lot alike and Ellie's even starting to show sparks of Ryan's personality too. Save me! She just loves her dad so much, she always has to be watching him. Every time she catches his eye, she puts on a huge smile and squeals. She has quite an adventurous personality coming out already. She always has to be in the action, even if it means missing her nap. She is always on the go and playin hard. I think a little mini Ryan on our hands. Everyone keeps asking to see some pictures of him as a babe, so here are some. I will have to dig some of mine up.
