Sitting, sitting everywhere...and pulling up on things too!

Ellie has been sitting really well lately, so well, that I don't have to hover around her anymore... really! She has also been pulling up on things and this week has just started to try to get on her knees and pull up with her arms. As for crawling...no signs of that yet. Ellie likes to be up high on us or things around her and she pulls up to get higher. Whenever we put her on her tummy for potential crawl time...a screaming fest usually follows. But, she did get up into the crawling position today for the first time...only for a second, then she fell and started crying. She's so adorable. We're still having so much fun with our little munchkin!

Here are some pics of her recent accomplishments...


Ellie sitting in a shopping cart at HEB by herself! Big Girl.
Thanks to Jamin's cousin Amy for the shopping cart
cover, we LOVE it!!




Here is another pic of Ellie making good use of the
shopping cart cover...in a high chair...sitting like a
big girl! She looks so adorable in this sweet little outfit
that my Mimi gave her. :)



Ellie and her friend Beau at a playdate at our house.
Ellie was really excited that Beau and Brittany came
over to see us. They had fun together! Look how great
Ellie is sitting all by herself!





Ellie getting into crawling position for about 2 seconds
...then it was tears and screaming until I put her
sitting upright to play with her toys. She is a girl who
knows what she likes and dislikes, that's for sure!



Little miss priss starting to pull up on her toys. (her
feet are sort of indian style in this pic and she is pulling
up on them) She has also begun to pull up on people
(if you're sitting byher) and the couch, big toys etc.



I can't believe she's getting so big..and will be
crawling soon! I'm not ready!
I've still got to baby proff....
