Is it that time already?

Yep. Elanor is 9 months as of September 10th. I can't believe how fast it has gone. She is developing her personality and I am so excited to see who she is becoming, but at the same time want her to stay my little, cuddly, baby forever.

 This picture was rather difficult to get, as she kept getting down and crawling towards me (she wanted the camera). My mom got this dress for her in Bath, England---I love it!

Sneak Peak.

Some people, namely my brother, Ian, have been wanting to see our new house. Here is a photo of the outside and I'm sorry to say but I'm only posting pictures of the outside. 
 Here is our little 50's house! Unfortunately, we are in the basement. It is a fairly bright basement though! It was built by Marion G. Romney for his son---he was an apostle of the LDS church in 70s and 80s.

Family Pictures

Leigh Stoddard took these pictures for us back in May(when we were still in Virginia). We got the cd with all the pictures yesterday. I love them! I forgot how much littler, less tan, and bald Elanor looked at 5 months old. She has changed so much in 3 months! There are so many good ones, even though Elanor was being a little difficult during this session. She wanted to look everywhere but the camera! I'm am trying to figure out which ones to blow up. Any suggestions? Here they are:

8 months--2 weeks late...

Elanor turned 8 months on August 10th, but with the move, and no internet for 2 weeks, I am sorry to say I have not been a very good blogger. We finally got her into the doctor on the 16th for her 6 month shots (she really despises getting her shots) and general checkup.

Elanor's stats:
weight: 16.69 lbs--24%
height: 26 1/4 in.--22%
head: 16.9 in--32%

Update

Whats going on:

We found a place to live and are moving in this coming Saturday! We are way excited as we have a washer and dryer, a yard, and it is in a good area by the U. More info about this next week! It has been fun living with the  McKees and we could not be more grateful that we have family here. Thank you so much for everything!

 

100th Post!!!

For my 100th post, here are some funny videos of Elanor:

Enjoy!

7 months.

Elanor turned 7 months on the 10th of July, so I am a little late in posting this... People always tell you how fast it all goes, and I believed them, but never understood. I cannot believe Elanor is already 7 months old and is changing and growing up so fast. We absolutely love her.

 How could you not?

Harry Potter 7, plus a little rant about movies in 3D

The Harry Potter movies are over, finished, done. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, fan of the books that is. I have always been disappointed by the movies. I know movies are never as good as the books, but I still don't know why they have to change the story. I know things have to be left out, but changing the story...it just does not make sense. I think they should have waited at least until the 7th book was out to make the movies.Then, they would have known the whole story and not added characters last minute that should have been there the whole time (Bill and Mundungus come to mind). I have constantly been let down by the Harry Potter movies, so much so that I did not have very high expectations for this one. However, I did go to the midnight showing. How could I not? It is the last movie. It sort of represents the end of an era.
