Our little Deer...
Ok... I'm not going to lie. I am not the best at updates. So it's been like 5 months.... that's not half bad. Ok, it is. I have been wanting to update this page for a while and have even gotten threats to update or else. Today with all of the beautiful snow I have found myself stuck to do the things that i have been putting of for, well about 5 months now. I'm pretty caught up, except I will need to re-organize Ellie's room and swap out her too small clothes... Again! I swear this child grows like a weed! She is 5 months and she is barely fitting in her 6-9 month clothes! Speaking of the little angel, I can't even explain the joy that she is. She laughs, she rolls over, she sleeps like a rock... no kidding! Like we put her down about 8 ish and I usually have to wake her up for her 7 am feeding. Not to mention she takes 3 full naps a day... and usually without even as much as a whimper. I give FULL credit to babywise! I must have read that book 3 times before she was born (including the time I went through and highlighted my favorite points), and skimmed through those at least another 5 times. Loved it so much I bought the whole series from babywise to teenwise. I think as parents we drastically underestimate how much sleep our kids need. As a result, she is honestly the happiest baby I could ever imagine. She hardly ever cries. Infact, we didn't even know she had an ear infection until it burst and goop came out. She is such a precious girl! She LOVES Daddy time! I'm not sure if she loves it as much as he does, but I'm sure it's close. Today was awesome because Joey got off pretty early and got to spend the rest of the afternoon with us. Now we have 2 more full days of family time this weekend! It's so great!
I guess while we are discussing Mr. MacGregor I should report the last few updates to the hunting story that is his life. I guess I shouldn't make it sound like he has been abandoning us, to tell the truth we have had and awesome time hunting, I just haven't got anything. We have had so much fun down at the Globe house hanging with the family. Audrey & Jeff have been with us which as been awesomely fun, and equally helpful. While I have gone out hunting Audrey has stayed at the house to hang out will Ellie. Jeff and I have had the most fun irritating Joey. It is a full time job... truth be told he is getting much better. It takes quite a bit more than it used to, but we manage now and then by dropping range finders, talking too loud, making the deer run away (ok that last one has been mostly me), sneezing, coughing, pretty much everything there is do to wrong we manage to cover it. I know he has enjoyed it too! Funniest part is he killed both his deer for this year and his pig while Jeff and I were not present. All signs aside we have had a blast finding and chasing deer. Not so much pigs. Couldn't find the little suckers. We saw one of the biggest deer I have ever seen up close. He still makes my heart race to think of him. Good news is we have One more weekend to get our 2010 deer before August. Next weekend it's on!!!
To sum up the last few months we have had a blast. I don't think either of us expected life to be so... active with her being so little. She has been amazing & fun. She is growing faster than we can keep up with, so we are trying to enjoy every little moment. I will try to update soon, but you never know with me. Enjoy the pics :).
