This picture is fuzzy because I took it myself using the Iphone back camera - I just had to capture this moment - a moment I feel fortunate to have almost every morning. As Jeremiah gets ready for work, Ellie usually wakes up. She currently sleeps in the playyard/bassinet right beside our bed which is convenient for the night time hungry hours :) When Ellie gets up, Jeremiah places her onto me and we have our morning cuddle sessions - I LOVE this time soooooooooooo much!
I'm starting to see a difference in Ellie when I show her a toy. She is starting to look more directly at the toy and also uses her arms to reach out toward it - as seen here... I love being able to capture these little (yet huge) milestones!
It was time for Ellie to go and see the sunshine! I put her in her stroller and for the first time I didn't have her all covered up. It was pretty windy, but I'm so glad we got out for even a few minutes! She was less than thrilled when we began, but we think she enjoyed herself! She kept her eyes closed tightly from the sun - it was so funny!
The following little video clip caught Sandy playing along with Ellie's rainforest toy. I took Ellie's arms and placed them on the ball so she could hit it, and for awhile, everytime she hit it, Sandy would kick the ball back - it was absolutely hilarious! Unfortunately, by the time I got the camera out to record it, I only got one little kick from Sandy - but still... pretty impressive play time! Trying hard to keep Ellie's brain stimulated - I'm sure this had to help!
