Merry Christmas!

Well, we survived! Ellie is in bed and Jeff and I would be if it weren't for Shelby. It's better to stay up and feed her and make it a little longer through the night! My sister's family is here, along with my mom and her husband. Once again, Ellie was fine with the first thing she opened and her cousins were more then happy to help. There are still some under the tree, so maybe tomorrow. She had a blast with her cousins and will be disapointed to see them leave tomorrow! Here is a picture of them playing outside!

Our little skier!

Ok, so Ellie is a little skier! I can't believe how good she is! We went to Caberfae for two days and she took the chair lift up and skied down. She either held Jeff's hand or he held the straps of the harness we bought for her. I couldn't believe her balance, she did great! Here are a few pictures.

To the theater!

A sweet moment!

Well, I took Ellie to her first play. We went to the Croswell for Peter Pan today. She did great! Loved it and loved to clap after each act. Here is a picture of her in her new dress! Still having trouble with her hitting and kicking me, her dad, her friends and Shelby! UGH! She can be so sweet most of the time and then so ugly for no reason! Why don't kids come with a handbook!!

A little sisterly love!

I wish I had video of this...today the girls were really interacting for the first time. Ellie was in Shelby's face (which is a regular spot it seems like) and laughing and making faces at her and Shelby was definately smiling back at her. It was so cute and Ellie just loved it. I know she felt like finally this little creature was more then just a human being taking up my mom and dad's time.

Shelby is almost 7 weeks already and gaining weight. She actually has fat rolls! We don't go back to the doctor until 8 weeks, but I am guessing she is between 8 and 9 pounds. She is doing great. My mom is here for a few days and took Shelby overnight last night so we could get a good night sleep! Tonight too! YEAH! I miss my sleep. I haven't been able to take naps eiether because it seems like Shelby is an afternoon kind of gal!
