My First Teeth

Ellison's first teeth arrived over a week ago. However, the little one would not willing show them off. I just happened to have a very smiley photo session with her yesterday and finally have a picture of her teeth. When they first came in, she was constantly sticking out her tongue. Of course, in reality, she was using her tongue to feel her new teeth.

For Aunt Ashley

Aunt Ashley,

I made this video for you today. I hope you enjoy it.

I love and miss you very much. Come and visit me soon. I am growing fast.

Love,

Little 'E'

Sunday in the Mountains

Ellie lounging around on the back porch.
Just sitting around in the Fall leaves.
Oooh... this bucket of leaves looks like fun!
Ooops... someone rolled over in the leaves (followed by a bit of pouting).
The End!

All bundled up

My parents, Ellison and I headed down the mountain to the Valle Crucis Fair. It was a cold, damp day. Ellison hid under the blanket made by her Great Grandma Ruthie. And I was not dressed properly. I guess in all of my shopping for Ellison, I forgot to find some appropriate Fall wear for myself. Oh, the life of a mother. I hear it only gets worse. I know that I will end up in sweats and with gum in my hair any day now. I have already instituted the mother wardrobe of skirt with alternating sweater sets. I mean literally... everyday. Except for this weekend in NC, where I am wearing jeans with alternating sweater sets.

POP-corn

Who knew the word "Popcorn" would lead to so many giggles?

We have arrived!

Ellison and I headed to Beech Mountain today! I was nervous about being in an airport and on a plane alone with a 5 month old, but it went really well. Ellison was a trooper. We landed in Charlotte and visited with my friend, Whitney Avishar, at her store, The Pink Hanger, before heading up the mountain. Ellison and I love Whitney's store. Ellie loved Whitney and her super fun bracelets a lot. We made it up to the mountains at the same time as my parents. The pictures are of Ellie on the rockers in front of her Grandparents house.

Halloween Sneak Preview

UPS made a special delivery today... Ellison's Halloween costume! Here is a sneak peek of what is to come on Oct. 3oth. Note that I did not force her to put on the tights :) Her panda costume will be primped with a little red headband as well. I know, I am a dork.
