Ellie 3 months and SNOW!

Ellie turned 3 months on Thursday! It is so fun to see the changes she is making. She smiles lots in the mornings  and able to hang out for long period of times in her seat. She is starting to hold things now- mainly a little pink "blankie," a burp cloth, and teething beads. She "eats" her fingers like crazy and is slobbering a lot more. Ellie has been holding her left jaw a lot the past few days, close to her ear and was crying differently when she did that, so Esteban took her to the doctor Friday morning just to make sure it wasn't an ear infection. Everything is great, she weighs 10 lbs 14 oz and the doctor thinks she might be starting to teeth already! (My mom says I started around 3 1/2 months!) 

Below are some pictures of Ellie at our house and my parent's. The snow started around 1:00 pm on Friday and by the time I got to my parent's to pick up Ellie, the roads were already getting bad to drive on. Esteban insisted Ellie and I spend the night and not get out on the roads. My family's new puppy, Riley, LOVES being outside and LOVES the snow! We ended up with around 6 inches! As you can see in the pictures, it is SO PRETTY! I love the real, crunchy snow!
