My sweet little Charlotte Grace is now almost 4 months, and I am just now getting around to posting her baby announcement as well as the pics we chose from her 1 week old photo shoot. Here is the link for the blog post about the shoot with Becky Hale Photography:

Ellie Rose and her "Ellie-isms"
The apple of my eye. My Ellie is Hi-lar-ious!!!!! That kid has her daddy's dry wit, and at the tender age of 22 months-has me in stitches on a daily basis. I have been noting some "Ellieisms" and haven't yet had the chance to blog about all of them, but wanted to mention the ones just from today.
First of all-I've realized the importance of establishing good habits. When my mom was raising us, she and my dad always modeled the importance of being courteous, polite and considerate of others. I remember doing these things out of obedience, not because I agreed all of the time and certainly not realizing the implications they would have later in life when I became a mommy. So, today, there were several instances when we were out running errands when I had to say "oh, excuse me" and "no problem" and "your welcome". Throughout the rest of the errand running, I heard the sweet voice of my little Ellie echoing these exact phrases, along with "oh sure mommy, ok" and "mommy, thank you so much". THere is nothing better than hearing her polite little voice. I beam with pride, and then I hear her say "oh my gosh". So funny, she says it really oddly-with this thick southern accent. I have been practicing with her because she used to say "oh my goodness", or in her words "Oh ma gooness". (I think she's a closet southerner, like her momma). :) So, I told her "we don't say oh my gosh Ellie Rose because oh my goodness sounds so much nicer". Now, in the back of the car and around the house I hear her saying "oh my gosh, no, oh my goooooooodness". At least she corrects herself! Ha! The other funny thing about lil' Ellie Bellie is that she is SO smart that she soaks everything up like a sponge. Today she smelled of a dirty diaper, and I asked her "Ellie, did you poop"? She looks at me and takes a long pause, and then responds with "No mommy, I have gaaaaaas." HAHAHAHAH! I started cracking up, and said. "well okay then". LOVE. THAT. GIRL.
