Crawling!

So last Sunday Ellie started crawling every where. I mean every where. She took off with a bang. We got a bunch of good videos of her doing so. Makes me glad I went and got my new blackberry on Saturday!



This is when she first started officially crawling on her own on Sunday



This was her a day later crawling across the room after zoozoo pets lol




I have videos of her from when she first started attempting to crawl still to load.

Need help deciding!

 I need help deciding which birthday hat to get Ellie. So if you could please view my mommy blog and vote for your favorite I'd really appreciate it. http://thestoryofbetsyrose.blogspot.com/

Photo update

I figured it was time to post some updated photo's I know I need to just post them as I take them which would be a lot easier but you all know how it is. You just get busy and time slips on by.

6 Months

7 Months

8 Months

Head Check.

We had Ellie's 9 month check- up on friday and it did not turn out how I wanted it too.
It started out good. Ellie's still in the 90% for hight and weight. Her eyes mouth and ears are all looking good. But when they measured her head it was measuring too big. I was afraid it was going to because of what happened at 6 months. It was measuring too big then too but after 6 tries they got a normal reading.  Now we have to go back August 16 to have it remeasured and if it's grown at all we have to have a head ultrasound done. I'm so nervous that they are going to find water on her brain. I hope to god not that she just has a big head but I can't help but worry. I am a mother after all and that is what we do. I'm just not sure what I should do I don't even think there is anything I can do. I think this is just one of those things I have to sit and wait and see how it all plays out. :(

We have lift off.........

That is right my baby girl graciously decided on July 4th that she was going to start crawling. I was so excited now not so much. I can't help but feel a little down. My baby is 9 months old and growing up so fast it won't be long before she's walking and talking. Mama wants her baby to stay a little a little longer. We got her first moments trying to crawl on video and I'll upload them and post them either later today or tomorrow. Maybe not tomorrow since I have surgery.

Dear Daddy,

Happy Father's Day!


Love Ellie<3

So Blessed.

I follow a lot of blogs and am friends with a few moms on facebook and lately it seems all I read are heart breaking stories. Babies being born to soon, sick, or going to heaven too soon. I couldn't imagine what I would of done if they hadn't been able to get Ellie breathing when she was born. I feel so blessed to have my little girl and now 8 months old. I forget the rocky start we had. For so long I felt guilty because I developed pree but if I hadn't I wouldn't of been induced early and wouldn't been monitored closely. I probably would of lost her before my due date. With her cord wrapped around her neck she was slowly being killed. I should look at what happened as a gift from up above. My body saved my daughter by deciding it was done being pregnant. I am blessed to be able to hug and kiss Ellie each night. God knows I didn't deserve such a perfect daughter. Just 1 year ago today we we're finding out we were having a girl. Now we are 4 months from celebrating Ellie's first birthday.

To anyone that may read this which I don't think anyone will I just want to say never take life for granted and always count your blessings not everyone is as fortunate.
I  want to let every mother out there know even if your child is now soaring with the angels that you are loved and will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
To all the Angel babies gone too soon: <3 I hope you all are in peace and know you are loved and greatly missed.

So many changes

I can't even begin to say how much my baby girl is changing and it's only been a couple weeks. She has developed quite the attitude. You take anything away she screams till you give it back then laughs. Yea we're going to be working on that one. lol. She's a stinker. Also she has begun the process of learning words. THough she doesn't know what she's saying. Her first was mama and she says this only when she cries it melts my heart. Her second is baba and she loves repeating baba over and over while she plays. It's the cutest thing ever. I have new videos and photos to post soon. :)
