Fun in the Sun!

Since BJ and I will jump on any opportunity we get to spend at the beach, lake or pool - we were really hoping Elle would enjoy the water too! On Saturday, we took her to the pool for the first time. The water was freezing, so we weren't able to get her in completely - but, she sure didn't mind getting her feet wet! She was such a great baby - she even went down for naps in her stroller while mommy and daddy laid out! She is already a pro at this stuff!

Just hangin' out with daddy (and doing what I do best....sticking out my tongue!)

3 Month Photo Shoot

The long-awaited day...we FINALLY got to visit Kerri King today at her studio for our viewing! As expected, her work was amazing! We had the hardest time trying to pick out pictures... here are just a few! Enjoy!

3 months, really?!

Wow, I know everyone says time flies, but I did not know the complete truth in that until I became a parent! It has been busy here at the Newman house. We just had Elle's 3 month pictures made last week by Kerri King. We go view them this week, so check back soon - I am hoping to post some of them! Elle just went through another huge growth spurt! Somehow she completely missed out on wearing some of her clothes - they literally went from being too big to too small in one day. I was beginning to think her hair wasn't going to fall out like everyone told me it would, but it finally did. It is coming back in blonde. She has recently found her fist - we are beginning to wonder if she could be cutting some teeth with the way she has been acting!

I went back to work a couple of weeks ago, so Elle's Granny has been keeping her at our house throughout the week. Since BJ and I work from home, this set up has been wonderful - I couldn't ask for anything better!

These days, Elle LOVES to lie on her back and play. She especially likes her Rainforest play gym - she could play under there for hours! It is soo funny. She just squeals with excitement to the point of losing her breath! She also loves for you to talk to her. She will try to talk right back!

Elle is such a happy baby!! She has not felt well this week because of allergies, but still manages to laugh. She is a constant reminder to me to not sweat the small things in life!

My First Mother's Day!

It was an awesome weekend, filled with family and great food! We grilled out with my parents and Grandma on Saturday (well, sort of...the rain ruined our original plan!). Then, on Sunday we went to Carrabba's with BJ's family. We topped it off with sushi Sunday night at Wild Ginger (my absolute favorite - thank you BJ!) I am just so thankful that God allowed me to become a mother this year! I am just very blesssed to have a wonderful family and perfect baby girl!

This picture was actually taken on Easter weekend, but I thought it was appropriate for this post! This is Elle with her Great-Grandma Rita, Nana, and Mommy - 4 Generations!
