Thanks Papa and Nana!

Biggie

Swing

Auntie Maria comes through again.

Sleep

Praise the Lord! Two straight nights of decent sleep! Ellie's getting there. :-)

And, of course, the obligatory cute picture.

Night time

Ellie's not too big of a fan right now of the cradle we have for her by our bed. For out in the front room, we've been using this. May have to move it into the bedroom tonight. :-)

Lizzie

Ellie

For Heather

Since Laura got her own pic, it only seemed fair for Heather to get her own as well.

Background: Portland Adventist Hospital has a camera in their front lobby that gets piped into channel 9 on all of the patient TVs in the hospital. It's great for watching to see when your visitors are coming or just for people watching in general (cause most folks don't know it's there). Well, when Heather, Melissa (Auntie 'Lissa) and Kristen came to visit the other night, we showed them channel 9 and they got a kick out of it. When they left the hospital, they put on a little dance routine for us...




And not to be out done, Lisa and Jenn and their kiddos followed suit with snow angels... on carpet. (Taking flash pictures of a TV is tricky business).

For Laura

Laura, in honor of your second place finish in the baby pool, this just seemed appropriate.


I know it looks violent, but in actuality, each time Lizzie has been incredibly gentle with Ellie. This picture is no different. It's just one of them optical illusions. :-)

And the winner is...

Maria Pacovsky!!!!

Sitting in prime position by correctly predicting the day of Ellie's birth, Maria beat out Laura with a PM guess, to Laura's AM guess. Special note of honor to Heather who ended up tying Laura, despite not correctly guessing the date.
