Raye's 1st Tractor Ride With Daddy

Daddy brought a tractor home tonight to roll our yard. He let Ellie ride with him for about an hour. She LOVED it! John said when they went down the hil out back behind our house, she got really excited when she saw the cows. When he brought her in to me I asked her if she was done riding the tractor? She shook her head "NO." She was upset when she realised she wasn't going back out with Daddy. Here are some pictures from her first tractor ride with Daddy!

Raye Raye & Daddy

Daddy pushed her around in her car for a little bit.

Daddy decided it would be fun to chase Lola around, Lola didn't think so! Ellie thought it was pretty funny though!

Pretty girl!

Raye and Daddy playing with her flashlight monkey.

I really don't know what she was doing. She laid on the floor and did this for awhile this evening.

Playing with her laptop.

Here are some pictures from this morning of Ellie and Holland playing. She loves to play with him. He's so gentle and good with her! Ellie has started calling Duke "Doo" it's really adorable! Whenever I say Duke she says "Doo." Such a smart girl!

Well I got a call from our doctor's nurse yesterday stating that Ellie didn't have a bladder infection. I still felt like I wanted our doctor to see Ellie for my own peace of mind. We went in and after undressing Ellie I realised she had little red dots all over her belly and a little on her back. She ended up having Roseola. This is a virus very common for children ages 3 months- 3 years. It starts with a fever off and on for 3 to 5 days then ends with a rash. It was nice knowing what exactly was wrong with her. She was definitely back to her old self yesterday though! I'm just thankful it wasn't something worse! I have some pictures of her playing yesterday and being onry, of course! Enjoy!

After we left the doctor yesterday morning.

Watch out Ellie's on the road and she's going shopping!

She likes to be pushed around the house in her car.

Maybe it will be warm enough this week and we can play with her car on the patio!

She's texting her boyfriend Jaxon on my old cellphone, hehe!

Well this shouldn't surprise you, she is John's daughter! She LOVES cheese!

Dancing with Brobee. She was swaying back and forth dancing. So cute!

Talking with Daddy.

It has been a while since I posted any pictures and update you. We took Ellie to the doctor last Wednesday. She is 30.5 inches long in the 95th percentile. She also weighed 22lbs in the 75th percentile. The doctor said she's doing great. We are going to start introducing her to milk. We will also be getting rid of the bottle soon. She isn't very attached to her bottle so we are hoping that it will be an easy transition to just sippy cups.

We had a little scare on Friday. I had to go get Ellie early from daycare because she had a temperature. I gave her Tylenol and it didn't help. Her temperature was at 103.2 so we went to the emergency room. It was not fun! They gave her some Motrin which she hadn't had until then. Her ears and lungs were perfectly fine. So they then decided to check her for a bladder infection. With infants they do a cathedar to check for them. I had to leave the room when they did it so John stayed with her. It wasn't easy considering I could hear her screaming in the ER waiting room. It was really awful! After being at he hospital for 3 hours and going through a cathedar the doctor told us she has a virus. They sent off her urine for further testing on a bladder infection. Our doctor will call us tomorrow and follow up with these test results. She didn't have any fevers yesterday or today until she woke up after her nap at 4. Her fever this evening was low grade though. I am planning on calling her doctor tomorrow as soon as I can to see if she can be seen. I will also be glad to know the further test results that were sent off.

My doctors appointment for baby Brody or Elan went well. The babies heart rate was 158 bpm and it was moving around. I didn't get a picture from the ultrasound but, it's growing and doing great. We are so thankful! The doctor said that it's not definite I will be induced at 30 weeks. The latest I will go is 36 weeks though. It just depends on how everything is going. John and I know and understand that nothing is set in stone and could change at anytime. We have put this in God's hands and he knows what's best for this baby and us! I will be having my thyroid removed as soon as I have recovered enough from having the baby. Please continue to pray for a healthy baby and pregnancy for us! :)

That's a RAYE RAYE!

Ellie Raye's 1st Birthday & 2nd Easter Pictures

I can't believe our baby girl is a toddler now! She just celebrated her 1st Birthday and will be celebrating her second Easter in a few weeks. Wow, time really does fly by. She is doing so good. She's saying tons of new words like "kitty kitty" and of course "mama" but, her new favorite word is "hmmmm". It's so funny because if you ask her a question she will say "hmmmm". She's such a silly girl. She does new things everyday that make me amazed. This evening she took her toy keys into the entry way and put them up to the door knob like she was trying to unlock it. She's such an intelligent girl. We have been taking her outside here the past few days. She really enjoys being outside. She really wants to crawl around and venture. I'm ready for the ground to be completely dried up before I let her go wild. She's doing okay with walking. She seems to walk when she feels like it. However she can walk, but why walk when you can speed crawl. I picked her up from daycare on Friday and she took over 12 steps to get to me! It was pretty funny because she can do it but, she doesn't want to. She is definitly strong willed and stubborn like her Momma! She has her 12 month check up on Wednesday. I also have a doctors appointment tomorrow for baby Brody or Elan! Here are her 1st Birthday pictures and 2nd Easter pictures! Enjoy!

Happy, Happy 1st Birthday!

Here's Ellie in her 2nd Easter Pictures! I absolutely love this picture. She's such a doll baby!

Thanks Great Grams Lewis for the BEAUTIFUL Easter dress!

YES, she is going down the stairs. We have been working on this for awhile now. She will get herself on the top step and scoot down on her bottom to the bottom step. We only have 3 steps in our house. We didn't want Ellie to be eliminated from them completely and not know how to go down steps. We by no means let her play on the steps but, we wanted her to know how to go down them. She did great learning. She's such a smart toddler!
