All in a Week

It's been a week, so time for an update!

Let's see...

Well, Elysia had a doctors appointment a few days ago and it turns out that our little pumpkin is now 14 lbs, 5 oz.  Way to go, Leesee!!!  Tomorrow she turns 8 months old.  I can't believe it!

A few days ago we took Elysia to Walmart to have her portrait taken.  My Mom and Sara take so many fabulous pictures of our little muffin that I never felt the need to take her to a portrait studio.  However I've been toying with the idea of trying to put Elysia into baby ads and they need a portrait picture of her.  I don't know if she'll get in, but I thought it would be fun to try.  Anyway, we decided to go, so I dressed her in this really cute ladybug dress and away we went.  As soon as we arrived, my little peanut threw up all over her dress!  Thanks, kid.  Good thing there was a sale on at 'Children's Place'!  What a perfect day...shopping and pictures. 

You know what's really hard when you have kids?  Going out to a restaurant.  I never understood why couples with kids eat at home all the time, and now I know why.  Taking Elysia to a restaurant is an adventure!  Last week Steve and I decided to go out for breakfast, so we went to IHOP.  I was really proud of my munchkin because she behaved (surprisingly...) well.  She sat in a high-chair, which was a first for her, and munched on Mum-Mum's while looking around at the other patrons.  She loves to get their attention!

Here are a few pictures of Elysia in the outfit made for her by her Grandma.  Thanks Grammy for the lovely clothes!!  If I'd known I'd get a new wardrobe, I'd of made sure you got a serger a long time ago!!

Yesterday, the three of us decided to go on a little road-trip to La Conner.  I love it there, and so does Elysia. 

It was so much fun going on an elephant ride!

La Conner is a lovely little town, and if you get the chance to go there make sure you check out this shop!

'Bunnies by the Bay' is the cutest store and totally worth the visit.

That's the update.  Now we're getting ready for new adventures next week....
