3 Months Old!

Ellison is 3 months old as of last week, and she learns new things every day! She is doing so well with tummy time and will sometimes even roll over. It doesn't happen often, but she definitely does know how to do it. She also picks her arms and legs up when she is on her belly like a little Superbaby! It is amazing how mobile she is already. She can turn herself onto her side from her back, and her newest thing is scooting herself backwards with her legs. She definitely has to be watched when she's on her changing table pad, because I'm pretty sure she could catapult herself right off the dresser if she wanted to. I have a feeling we are going to have an early crawler on our hands!

Caught mid-roll!

This week is already my fourth one back at work. It is so crazy how fast time flies! It is going well, especially since Ells sleeps through the night most nights. A lot of people have asked about who is watching the little lady when we are work, so here is the scoop! For the most part, I am home when Jay is at work and he is home when I am at work, since he works days and I work nights. We really only need child care when I am sleeping because I work multiple nights in a row! We are lucky enough to have a very loving grandma (my mom) who takes Ellison at least one day a week. She has also been coming in the mornings when Jay needs to leave and I am not home yet. We are very blessed! Ellison will also be going to an in-home daycare once a week. We are very lucky that we have a family friend who not only does daycare in her home but is willing to accommodate my crazy schedule! The day of the week she needs to go varies in a way that I don't think many daycare centers would appreciate. This was her first week going. I think it will be great for her - there are a few other little girls close to her age, so she will have some friends to play with when she gets a little bigger! From what I heard her first day went well and she came home with a very cute little report card that said she was a good girl!

First report card!

Ellison got to see Grandpa Jeff and Aunt Konneli play softball for the first time this week. She actually seemed to really like looking at the game...she probably thought it was TV. We usually have the TV on in the main room of our house, and suddenly she has realized it is there. And she REALLY likes looking at it! If she is laying on the ground playing and the TV is on she will try to turn herself so she can see it. I think Mommy and Daddy's days of catching up on TV during Ellison's waking hours are numbered!!! We don't want a little couch potato on our hands!

Watching TV...sassy!

Here's some pictures of the princess from her three month birthday...professional ones weren't in the budget but we took a lot ourselves!!! Hopefully we will get some taken professionally when she is 6 months old! Can't believe we are already over halfway there...

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!!!
