This is a video that came by I.C.G. (Inspired Creative Genius)

I was watching my beautiful baby play in her crib and naturally I thought...Let's make a movie. So together we created our first installment of the Daddy and Baby Independent Films. This one is called Babyzilla. The inspiration for this film was sudden and yet, it's a timeless tale. A story that transcends racial, ethnic, and gender lines. The recurring theme throughout it is as ancient as time itself. Behold...the uncontested truth... Babies will eat anything!!!

Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to take a second and wish Adam a happy first Father's Day! I know he has looked forward his whole life to becoming a father, and I know he is the perfect father for our little daughter. He loves her so much, and she adores him. I am so grateful for them both! I adore the way he gives her a bath every night and the way the play and laugh most of the time. I love being able to hand her to him and not having to worry for even a second that she will be unhappy or unsafe. I am ecstatic that he wants to be a big part in her life, and I secretly laugh at the way he mourns the end of each day as she grows bigger and bigger.

Father's are such an important part of a child's life, and they do so much for their families just by sticking by them and doing their absolute best each day. I wish all the dads out there, including my wonderful father and Adam, a Happy Father's Day!

Random June Thoughts

So this month Ellie was really ready for solids and she is enjoying her rice cereal very much :) We have a little chair for her that attaches to our table, and she is doing so well sitting up! Her and Daddy have sitting practice every day, and she just loves to look at the world from a new point of view.

These other pictures are my silly husband's attempt at Cinco De Mustache, which is apparently a festival in the summer somewhere in the midwest. He just cracks me up! It's like having my own personal entertainer 24/7!

Wisdom Teeth

This month has also been busy because the day Adam had his last day of work, he had his wisdom teeth removed! He had to have the procedure done in a hospital because of his heart condition, but everything went just fine. He got a little swollen, and he was out of it for a week, but he is back on his feet now with only a little tenderness!

Ellie and I took care of him while he was out, but he was a very good little patient :) This has been such an ordeal, and we have been trying to get his teeth out for 6 months now! I think we are all relieved it is finally done.

5 months!

Eliana is now 5 months old! Yay! It is so exciting to watch her grow and develop every day. I have not been keeping up on my pictures like I should have lately, and I now have several blogs to publish in a row, but it has been such a busy month so far! Ellie got her first tooth on the day she turned 5 months- yay! These are some of my favorite pictures of Ellie this month. She is such a cutie, and I love love love her little chubby cheeks! We could not have asked for a sweeter, cuter, easier baby- I am so in love!

Some Firsts for Ellie Belle

Ellie had her first solid food! She seemed to really enjoy it. She even tried "helping," which means grabbing the spoon and feeding herself! She was pretty good at it too, she actually made it in her mouth some of the time :)

It turns out she is not quite ready for solids yet, though. She liked the rice cereal, but she isn't hungry enough for it quite yet. We will try again in a few weeks :) It sure is fun to see her experience new things though! Watching her encounter the world for the first time with such wonder and awe, it is so sweet. This month was filled with a few other firsts, including the first time her toes touched the grass and the first time her toes were dipped in a pool! She just loves new experiences. She is so much more interactive with the world around her everyday. She smiles and coos at all the new faces she meets, and is such a happy baby. I just love her!
