Weekend In Chesterton

This weekend we went to visit my family in Chesterton. It was a long weekend but only because the girls didn't have their beds to sleep in and their schedules were off. We got to visit some friends and catch up before the Holidays get here. We also went out and bought a new camera so here are some pictures of the weekend.

Cowgirl Ellie! Yee-haw!!

6 Month Check Up

Ellie is 6 months and a week. Her original appointment was on the 5th but she developed croup and could not receive her vaccinations, so I made them for this Monday. She has an ear infection but she could still get her vaccines. She now weighs 18 lbs and 6 oz. She is in the 75th percentile for height and 80th for weight. If you remember, Ava was always in the high 90's. Ellie took her shots like a pro too. She cried for about 3 seconds and then as soon as the band aids went on she was all smiles. The doctor said she looks perfect, which I already knew. I would love to include a picture here but our camera broke and I am not sure when we will get a new one. I may have to dig out my old 35 mm. How retro.

Scare Crows

We took some pictures at the pumpkin patch today, but Ava and Ellie didn't seem too excited.

Half A Year Old

Today Ellie is 6 months old and I really can't believe it. She is getting so big and doing so much. She laughs all the time, rolls all the time, is constantly trying to sit up and smiles like crazy. She loves her parents but I think she loves her big sister more. Ava looks at Ellie and she is all smiles. Today Ava was playing with her and Ellie kept laughing. I was able to get some footage.



Here are some more 6 month photos from today. Don't feel bad if you notice that she looks nothing like me. If she didn't look so much like her dad I would have thought I brought home the wrong baby.
Here are some pictures from our trip to McCormick Creek State Park. We did have fun even though I did complain a little on Facebook. Ava got to ride a pony named Freckles and we took a walk to their 'Falls.' It was suppose to be a water fall but it wasn't anything too fancy.
