Ellison's First 4th!



 
Another holiday has come and gone! I can't believe how fast time is flying. We didn't do anything real major for Ellison's first Independence Day, just hung out around the house (and Mom and Dad had some delicious brats for dinner). I would have loved to take her to a parade, but it is just too hot out for a baby right now. I'm wondering if I will get to spend any time outside this summer, since Ellison can't be out in the sun (no sunscreen until 6 months old takes us through mid-August!) and I can't justify having my little one sit outside, even in the shade, in 100 degree weather so I can try and get a tan! She's definitely worth being pale.

We did set up her little pool yesterday though and she got to go in twice in one day! I don't think she knew what to make of it, but she was very cute in her little swimsuit and I got to be outside for a few minutes. Mostly just to say I experienced the heat wave...I don't like this hot, humid weather anyway and would prefer 75 degrees or so! Which is about what it is in our nice air-conditioned home, so l am content with being in there.

 
Ellison had quite a few 4th of July outfits and we managed to get through all of them! She is such a trooper with some of the crazy things I make her wear...specifically the tutu and giant bow. She tolerates it all very well and actually was pretty interested in the tutu. I think she wanted to eat it...yum?!

Overall, a nice relaxing day! Hopefully next year we will get to do the whole parade, fireworks, etc. She will appreciate it more by then anyway! Hope everyone had an enjoyable day!!!
