Conversation with Grandma

Grandma and Grandpa visited this week. Ellie loved "talking" to Grandma.

Beautiful Fall Day

"Hay" there cutie.



Mom and Ellie at the lake in the zoo.


Did you see that elephant?


We love the fall colors at the park.

While John is in Florida

John is coming home today.


Ellie getting eaten by her stuffed crocodile, we hope John isn't getting eaten by real ones


Ellie started to suck her thumb while John is gone and is very pleased with herself.

Pumpkin patch

Look what we found growing in the pumpkin patch.


She was more cooperative this week.


All the pumpkin fun wore Ellie out so she took a nap with her animal friends while we shopped at Old Navy.

Ellie has something to say

Two months old today!

Big hug for John.


Ellie loves playing with her animal friends.

Visitors from Iowa

Visitors! Great Aunt Deb and Great Uncle Charlie came to stay with us for the weekend.


Ellie loved all the attention.


Ellie cheered for the Cardinals in game 3 of the NLDS, but they still got swept by the Dodgers. A sad ending to a really good season.


We tried to get some pictures of Ellie in the pumpkin patch at the church next door, but she wasn't in the mood. We'll try again another day!

Playtime

Ellie has figured out how to make this "kick and play" work.

Hanging out at home

Ellie likes helping John cook.


Ellie can now hold her head up well enough to sit in the Bumbo.


Ellie has become really smiley and giggly lately.


Happy girl!
