Sick :(
Last week Miss Elly K came down with a bad case of the snotty nose. No fever just a nasty, no good, snotty nose. By Thursday of last week, I ended up taking a day off work so I could take her to the doctor (just to check her ears).
During this time, EK starting making a new face. This face is her method of breathing through all the snot. She is still doing it a little this week since the nastiness has lingered a bit. I know its her wanting to breathe better but its so dang cute!
Poor Thing (but so cute)!
Over the weekend I ended up with the same problem. Not sure what pollen or seed we are both allergic to but this week has been NO FUN! Since I'm still breastfeeding there is very little I can take for allergies. So I have been suffering through this for almost a week. I am ready for this mess to pass and we can all get back to breathing normal.
Our New Game
Elly K has a new game she likes to play these days. As a means of entertainment while I am doing things around the house, I will put EK in her walker and pile as many of her toys on the tray in front of her.
Then the game begins. One of her toys will hit the floor.
She even watches them as she lets them go one by one...
And before you know it (less than 2 minutes) all the toys are on the floor.
Then it starts all over again. I will pile them all back up and she will throw them all off. Over and over and over again.
Sitting Pretty (High-Up)!
Sunday, after enjoying my birthday dinner at Surin, we headed over to Buy Buy Baby. I knew it was about time we had to buy a high chair since Elly K is getting so close to 6 months and the bouncy seat isn't cutting it anymore. I knew I didn't want a full blown high chair just for space issues. I also knew I didn't want one that sat in a chair and took up a place where an adult could sit. So the clip-on kind was right up my alley. I went to Buy Buy Baby earlier in the week and spotted a couple that I liked but I wanted Jonathan to go when we actually made the purchase. AND I am so thankful he did! I had my eye on 2 different ones but he quickly pointed out the issues that we would have with them and noted that there was another one that would be better for us.
So after about 2 minutes of assembling this bad boy, Miss Elly K is sitting much higher:
It swings around for easier feedings now:
And it goes all away around so she can watch us in the kitchen:
Last night she had dinner in her new high chair! She is still getting use to sitting up to eat but I figure she will have it mastered in no time. Oh and yes this is my dining room (Caribbean Holiday blue). I know I owe you all a house update. Maybe this weekend I will snap a few pictures around the house for a show and tell next week.
Football Baby!
Saturday we had a pre-football game photo session!
Elly K says "ROLL TIDE Y'ALL!"
So stinkin' cute!
All of us getting ready for the game:
She's Figuring it Out
Over the past couple of weeks, Elly K has started getting her paci in her mouth all by herself. It might take her a couple of tries but she usually gets it in her mouth (right-side-up) within a few minutes. But before that, it's sideways, upside down or even backwards! I'm just happy she can put it back in...regardless how long it might take!
When Gram is In-Charge...
When Gram is in-charge, Elly K leaves the house looking like this:
This bow alone is big enough to represent the "Bows" in "Bows and Bucks".....HUGE!
