Three Months!

Another month of amazing memories from an even more amazing little baby girl!

This month she:

Officially entered the Catholic church (baptism)

Learned to sleep without a swaddle blanket (at least during the day)

Made the ladies at Target turn their heads to look at her (when she was out running errands with her Daddy- sans Mommy)

Met her future BFFs (Gracie and Lucie)

Battled her first cold (and won)

Started a tradition of spending Wednesday nights with her favorite Godmother and Godfather (and Baxter the Dog)

AND

Continues to keep people wrapped around her little finger (which are growing quite nicely)

Tummy Time

I know there have been a number of plain picture posts lately, but this one is too cute not to post.

Happy Birthday Aunt Megan!

A quick Happy Birthday to the best Godmom ever! (Look, I am not crying!)

"Noah's Hope-Fix You"

My aunt sent me this forward about a charity sweepstakes tied to the movie 'Extraordinary Measures.' I first watched the video mentioned below with Ellie in my arms, it made me cry almost immediately. To think of having a happy healthy baby and then life changes so suddenly, I cannot imagine. It made enough of an impact on me that I wanted to share it with all of you. If you have a chance, check the site out and vote! Help make a difference.

The E-mail Message:

"WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! We have entered a video titled “Noah’s Hope—Fix You” into a contest associated with the up-coming release of the movie “Extraordinary Measures” featuring Brandon Fraiser and Harrison Ford. The winner of the contest will receive up to $10,000 to go to the charity or research fund of their choice. We are asking family and friends to VISIT THE SITE AND VOTE EVERYDAY. If we win, we will use this money to fund research to find a cure for Late Infantile Batten Disease….a terminal neurological disease which is affecting two of my three children. Currently there is no treatment and the disease is always fatal. We will also match any winnings out of our foundation to further research efforts. Please help Noah and Laine, and the many other precious children affected by this devastating disease. For more information about Batten Disease, please visit our website: http://www.noahshope.com/
