I swear I feed her. Really, I do!

Ellie is doing well overall these days. It's so refreshing! We haven't been to the doctor in a whole entire month! She's crawling and pulling up on everything. She desperately wants to walk and run after Emme but I think it'll be another month or so before she's off and going. She started waving and saying "bye bye" a few days ago (but she says "bababababa"). Her eating has finally started to take off and boy!, can she eat! I've found that most of Nature's Goodness foods (Walmart generic baby food) are milk/soy free so that's been great. I've also had to make a trip here and there to Whole Foods to get her some "safe" snacks. All in all she's doing really well. We were also blessed with a month of free formula from the Fox 4 Love Fund for Kids. So if you've ever donated to them, thank you!

Emme is doing great. She says the funniest things. It's a great age...most of the time. She calls me "Babe" now. I don't remember the last time she said Mommy/Mama. She's totally and completely obsessed with anything Cars, The Little Mermaid, and baseball (Rex Sox). In fact, the other night, Fever Pitch was on and she looks right at Josh and says, "Hey! Dad! That's the Red Sox!". Do you think we watch too much baseball in this house? She's also learning the players names. It's hysterical. We're taking her to her first game of the season tomorrow night and she is beyond thrilled. We're going with some people from Josh's work and will tailgate before the game. I'm just praying with all that I am that she'll be totally enthralled with the game and make it until the fireworks. Lord help us all when the meltdowns kick in because she'll be so overly tired (and she never goes to bed late)!

Guess this is all for now. I've got a lot to get done today before my baby sister (one of them at least) graduates tonight! Yay for Halsey!
