Ellie {10 Months}

Yes, I know... I'm almost a month late in posting! She'll be 11 months on Sunday!

--------------------

*Unsure of her height & weight. We'll find out next month at her ONE YEAR check up! 

*Wears 9 & 12 month onesies. Wears 12 & 18 month pants for the length. I always have to roll the waist otherwise they slide right off of her.

*Has 2 teeth-- cutting the top front 4 though. All month. Its been a very sleepless & crabby month. 

*Says "hi", "bye", "more", "wha"{what}, "yeah", "no-no"

*Crawls & pulls herself up on furniture. She's really into standing on all fours like a bear. It's pretty cute :)

*LOVES skyping with Grandma & Grandpa Somma.

*Admires John so, so much.

*Has stopped breastfeeding as of two days ago. She refuses formula & whole milk. But she does love cheese & yogurt. And she'll eat foods that have milk in them such as macaroni & cheese or cream of wheat.

*Has the most beautiful green eyes that I've ever seen. In my opinion, of course.

*Does not sleep well at night. I tried putting her in John's old crib, which is in John's room, but we only made it through half a night. So, she's back in her little crib in our room. I'm hoping that now since she's weaned herself from breastfeeding that her sleep will improve. Last night I gave her water whenever she woke up & it was only 3 times verses 7 or 8. So, I'm hopeful.

*Loves to spit, bite & pull mom's hair.

--------------------

So every month on the 27th I've been really good about taking Ellie's monthly photos. This month though, she was NOT having it. At all. I've tried many times to no avail. I decided thats just how it was going to be this month. So, here are her 10 month pictures from March 27th. And some random ones from through out the past month. They're unedited, otherwise they'd never get done. 








Two weeks ago on a Saturday night, we had our friends, Johnny & Helena over for pizza & a movie. & also so I could do the second part of Helena's maternity shoot. {click here to see a preview of the shoot!} They picked up the pizza & I couldn't believe how big it was!! Seriously. It was about 2/3 the size of our kitchen table. Ellie was in heaven eating her slice :)




These next snapshots are from my iPad. Great Grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc, if you want to see daily pictures & video clips of the kids {and occasionally Nathan & I}, just click the icon at the top of the page with the camera on it. That will take you to our Instagram account; which is where these snapshots are from.

This was the first time that Ellie wore a hair clip!


When my mom found out I was having a girl, she sent me a little sweater that a very good friend of the family had made for me. I decided to try it on her, not really knowing what size it was. I think it'll fit it this Winter.

She loves showing us how big she is when we say, "Ellie is soooooo big!"

This was just a few nights ago. Easter actually. I think about 2am Germany time, 7pm cst. We FaceTime with my parents when the little lady decides she wants to be awake in the middle of the night. So thankful for the 7 hour time difference! 
--------------------

I'd like to say that there will be Ellie's 11 month post in two days, when she turns 11 months, but lets not kid ourselves. It'll probably be a week. or three :)
