Hey Guys!

Sorry it has been so long since I wrote anything here. The life of a 3 1/2 year old is supper crazy sometimes!

For those who didn't know, I started Preschool back in September and I love it. I go every Tuesday and Thursday for two hours and I have met so many new friends and I have learned so much new stuff. I always tell daddy about my day and things I learned, like fire safety and good and bad foods. It is awesome.

Baby Brother is just a few days away now and I am super excited. I can't wait to be as helpful as I can. Mommy and daddy seem to love when I am willing to help, so anything that makes them proud of me, I am going to do.

I miss daddy a lot lately. He is on the road for work and it is sometimes hard for me to understand why he is gone. But guess what, he always comes home and we have so much fun when he is here!

I am looking forward to Halloween. I think I am going to be a princess. But, that is still weeks away, so who knows how many times I am going to change my mind.

Last week we had the Diabetes walk and a lot of friends and family came out. I was so happy they all came along and I am so proud of how much we have been able to raise to help get rid of this stinky disease I have. I really love everyone who helped.

Well, I need to get back to bed now. Sorry it has been so long, but I will try to do better. With Baby Brother almost here, I have to share my thoughts on this little guy.

See you later alligators!

Hola amigos!

2009-06-04T09:37:00.006-04:00

Greetings from the wonderful world of me! Sorry I have not had a chance to be on here lately. We have all been so busy with the plans for my new baby brother! Yep, I was right all along, it is a baby brother! I am so excited. I go up and talk to him everyday and some days I hug mommy's belly so baby brother knows how much I love him. I even tell mommy some days that I know he loves me too.

All baby stuff aside, I am doing well. I am so happy the weather started to get nice. I am an outdoor kid and I want be outside, even when it rains! I love being outside so much grandma bought me a delightful activity set for outside. It has a swing and a slide and teeter and a ladder and a slide! Here are some pictures of this great contraption:

Well, that is all for now, I think. I do want to throw a shout out to Brandon and his new baby sister Emily:

Brandon can teach me all the benefits of being the oldest child!

Take care and I will be back soon!

HAPPY EASTER

2009-04-12T00:09:00.005-04:00

Happy Easter everyone!

Yesterday we went to daddy's work for an Easter Egg hunt. It rained a lot, so we had to go inside to hunt for eggs. I found a ton of eggs and even won a special basket!!! I even got my face painted!

I got to see the Easter Bunny too! He was so cool. He gave me a big hug and I was able to give him a kiss on the nose. I can't wait to see what he brought me in my basket and where he is going to hide my eggs in the back yard.

Have a great Easter everyone!

TA DA!

2009-03-24T21:14:00.002-04:00

I have a picture to share with you...ready?

In case you can't tell...that's me holding the first picture of my new baby brother or sister! I am so excited. Mommy and daddy were telling me all about it tonight and I wanted to know if they brought it home tonight! Daddy said it is in mommy's tummy and they will bring it home in a couple of months. Then mommy told me her belly was going to get huge. That is kind of weird!

I am super excited though. Being a big sister is going to be AWESOME!

HI!!!!

2009-02-16T12:58:00.002-05:00

Hi everyone. I have been very busy since December and I must say I'm sorry for not writing.

Things are going good. First...the diabetes update. While my numbers can be all over the place from day to day, I am doing pretty well. I still am not a big fan of the injections, especially when they pinch, but I know it is necessary.

I had a good Christmas and hopefully daddy will post some picture soon of that. I had a great day that day and I want Christmas to be everyday.

Except when its my birthday. Did I mention I turn three in March? I am so excited. Birthdays are the best!

I have been going to Gymboree and love it. I have a new buddy there, Michael. I am going to his birthday party next week. YEAH BIRTHDAYS! This is going to rock.

I am now a little chatter box and I am quite bossy sometimes. Mom and dad are pulling their hair out! I love driving them nuts :-)

Anyway, thought I would say hi and let you know all is going well.

Bye bye

MORE PICTURES...YEAH

A long time

2008-11-17T23:34:00.002-05:00

Hi all...

I have been slacking on the updates. I can't believe how long it has been since there was something last posted here!

Briefly, the updates are...
- Diabetes doing well
- Walked in Diabetes walk this year
- starting to potty train. I like to test mommy's nerves!
- My temper is fiery as ever. Hey I am 2 1/2...I know everything, control everything. If you don't think the world revolves around me, then you are just dead wrong!

Well...here are some photos from daddy's cell. I promise more soon.

Hey there

2008-08-14T23:21:00.004-04:00

Guess what...I am still here. Sorry for the lack of updates. Nonetheless, here are some new pictures...

Hey there everyone!

2008-06-06T15:09:00.003-04:00

So, as much as I bust daddy's chops about not posting pictures fast enough, it occurred to me that I never write anything here anymore. Just videos and pictures. Wow...I am cute and all, but maybe an update every now and again would be nice!

Well, Tuesday I will officially be 2 years and 3 months old. Yep, an old woman to most, I know. I have an endless vocabulary, but you already knew that by reading these entries! Mom and dad are shocked every day by how verbal I have become and how eloquently I speak. Eloquent Ella...that's me! I am smart too...but again, why overstate the obvious!

I just got myself a new slide. Mom and grandma bought me a Disney princess slide for the back yard. I love to slide now...did you see the video? Swinging, sliding, running, jumping and going crazy outside are some of my favorite things to do. I love it. I am quite active.

The big D-Type 1 is doing okay. I have my good days and bad, but fortunately more good than anything else. Mommy and daddy still check my sugars a lot! I still get my shots a lot! But overall, I feel good. I have some of my pudgy baby chub back and I know I can eat anything I want...as long as it is in moderation. Someone should teach daddy that. You seen that guy's belly lately?!?!?

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. Well, being read to. I know what all the words are, especially to Curious George and the Chocolate Factory, but I like to humor mom and dad by letting them read to me every day.

Speaking of the big guy, I miss him more now because he is working more. Mommy sometimes takes me to see him at work at the stadium. He is all decked out in a white shirt and bow tie. Better yet, I get to see Downtown, baseball and daddy always makes sure I have one of my favorite foods to munch on...PEANUTS. They rock. Super rock! I like the stadium. Everyone loves me and I love being there. Plus, I get to see daddy, so there are so many good things for me there.

Buster Brown is still my best friend. Although I see Moose (that's what daddy call William...or Yummy as I call him) everyday, I still love my puppy. What a huge dog. I have seen so many other smaller dogs. I think Buster is mixed with a horse...neigh, neigh!

Well, enough from me. Mommy thinks I am taking a nap so I better keep the typing down to a minimum. I promise to do better with my posts. I know everyone is dying to know all about me as I grow into a rambunctious, precocious little lady!

Have a good weekend everybody!

Happy Birthday x2

2008-03-17T00:01:00.011-04:00

Monday was my 2nd birthday. Yeah me!!! Mommy and daddy had a nice party for me the Saturday before. I saw a lot of my friends, got a lot of really neat presents and, of course, I had some good cake!!!

Here are some of the pictures:

Time to Walk

2007-10-21T20:27:00.000-04:00

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out for me last week for the Diabetes Walk. I also want to thank those that contributed. When all is said in done, we will have raised over $2000!!! That is so cool!

Here are a few pictures from the big day:

MORE TO COME SOON!!!

Look at my new buddy!

2007-10-19T08:35:00.000-04:00

Aunt Lisa and Uncle Todd have made me a new friend. Bryce "Brutus" David Moyer was born last week and he is a cutey. I can't wait to meet him and corrupt him! He too will be a little devil >:-)

York Fair, OJ and me!

2007-10-10T14:51:00.001-04:00

So, mommy and daddy finally got the pictures back from the York Fair this year! I got to ride the carousel for the first time and there are pictures of me there!

So..I also have these pictures that I think might incriminate me in a murder. Daddy thinks it looks like I am wearing OJ's gloves!!! I have no idea what that means, but he thinks its funny.

And now...some randomness!

2007-09-29T23:53:00.000-04:00

Not much new here folks, but here are few pictures I wanted to share. The first few are me riding one of those funny contraptions outside of the stores. I think this one was a boat. Daddy seemed disappointed with it...maybe because he couldn't fit in it to ride it! :-)

Check out this rocking hat mommy found! I look like a little old lady on her way to Atlantic City to pull the one armed bandits!

And of course, here is how I make my money to play those slots!! Woo-woo!!!

I LOVE FOOD

2007-08-28T14:01:00.001-04:00

Mommy fed me bagels and cream cheese this morning. WHERE IN THE WORLD HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!!!

Sugar Baby

2007-08-19T00:46:00.000-04:00

Well...for those of you who don't know, last weekend I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. That just means I am extra sweet, which all of you already knew :-)

I spent a miserable night in the hospital last week and I have been behaving very good this week so mommy and daddy don't take me back. I still get poked a lot, but I am getting used to it. I heard mommy talking about my sugar levels and it seems that both her and daddy are happy with them. I guess that's good, because I feel so much better. I am back to running, babbling and did I mention...I LOVE TO EAT!!!! Everything tastes good to me. Before, I used to be more fussy with my meals, but I LOVE TO EAT. Wonder which one of my parents I get that from.

Anyway...I will start to keep you posted on how I am doing, plus my normal adventures as well. In the mean time, here are a few pictures from BD...Before Diabetes!

Hello everybody!!!

2007-08-09T00:46:00.001-04:00

Wow...so I learn to walk and I am gone! I had no idea it had been over a month since I last posted anything here. What a bad little toddler I have become.

Well, here's the update. I think I have about 76 teeth now and I think my mouth will be sore forever. Good God people, are these chompers really worth it? I had no idea that chewing was worth this kind of pain. Hopefully...HOPEFULLY, they are soon done!

I am talking a little more everyday. I now say mommy and daddy very clear and of course apple. Sometimes I say numbers just to make grandma happy. Mommy and daddy sometimes joke that I am cursing too...little do they know that I am! :-)

Walking and running is cool, although I still don't want to try steps and I stand stock still when mom and dad put me down in the grass. Give me a hard floor or carpet any day!

Did I mention...I LOVE SOUP! Weird, right? Daddy is a big soup freak (well, at least half of that we know is true!) and I think I got his taste buds. Any kind of soup really. Actually, it feels good to not have to chew stuff. Every time I bite down, my teeth hurt, so slurping some soup is great.

Well...I think that is enough for now. I will see if daddy has any new pics of me. I thought he did, but I haven't seen them on here yet. What a slacker!!! But you knew that already.

Good bye for now!

Here's Ella...

2007-06-30T02:00:00.000-04:00

Here are some new pics from mommy's camera on her phone. Daddy also has a few new pictures to post in a few days as well, so something to look forward to.

The other night daddy laid a pillow on the floor and plopped down on it saying "Let's go to sleep." I love this game. I will run into the pillow and plop down next to daddy. I laughed so hard the first time we did this I almost got the hiccups!!! I love it.

Some new pics

2007-05-27T01:07:00.000-04:00

Hi all!!!

I am still here and fussy as ever thanks to all of these miserable teeth that are coming in! If it hurts this bad so I can eat, I would rather eat rice cereal for a long time :-)

I got to see a lot of people today. First, Aunt Sue and my new friend Haley came to visit. Haley is going to be my roommate when we both go to Ship :-) I was a little tired and fussy, though, so I didn't get to see them too much.

Then Aunt Lisa, Uncle Todd and Baby Moyer came to visit. I can't wait to see this thing growing inside Aunt Lisa. I am going to be the bestest friend with the new baby!

Uncle Todd gave daddy a cd today that had pictures from when we went to visit them before Christmas. I know I look different now, but I thought you might want to see some of these pics:

Silly pictures

2007-05-20T16:25:00.000-04:00

On Wednesday night me, mommy, daddy and grandma went out to eat. Because I now have 4 teeth coming in all at once, my gums are so sore! Mommy has been giving me some soft things to eat...like bread. Well, I decided to play with a piece of bread and then it just disappeared. Well, daddy decided it was funny to take a picture of where it went!

New, new, new

2007-05-18T16:38:00.000-04:00

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Clarence William Cashour the 100th

2007-01-24T23:29:00.000-05:00

As I said in my last blog, my new playmate William came into the world on Friday. Here is here picture:

Hello all

2007-01-21T00:50:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. I am so sorry it has been so long since I last wrote anything. Not much has happened in the last month, so I kept forgetting to write anything. Mom and daddy got some new pictures that I know daddy will be posting soon, so check those out when he does. I am sure I will remind everyone when he does that.

Otherwise...not much else to say. Baby William was born yesterday. For those who don't know who he is, he will be my playmate in a few months. Mommy is going to babysit him when his mommy goes back to work. This should be interesting.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and to let you know I am doing great.

Bye-bye.

My first Christmas!

2006-12-25T23:49:00.000-05:00

Ok...in a word, Christmas is AMAZING! Now I know why mom and dad were so excited.

My day started later than usual. I gave mommy a gift by sleeping about an hour later than usual this morning. We came downstairs and there were presents everywhere. Apparently, Santa, the same guy I saw last week, came while I was asleep. Amazing. He was so quiet. Even Buster didn't bark when he came.

Anyway, after a quick breakfast, we started opening presents. Between Santa, mom and dad, I got a lot of cool stuff. I got some clothes, some books, a few movies and some toys. Mom and dad got a lot of neat stuff as well. Even Buster got two presents (that I got for him!)

After a quick nap, we all went to grandma's house. She was just as excited about Christmas! Apparently Santa had been there as well because there was a lot of stuff there as well. Mom, dad and grandma had a big meal while I slammed down some cereal and pear! Dad said it was the pear from the pear tree in the funny song.

I started tearing into the presents there as well. I got A LOT of toys from grandma and Aunt Denise. After playing and being happy, we all came home. Almost as soon as we got home, Uncle Jason, Aunt Nicole and my adopted cousins came to visit. Again...lots of cool presents from them as well.

I think I made out like a bandit this year. I know mom and dad loved sharing this day with me and I am glad they did. I know dad got a little sad at the end of day since my first Christmas was over, but don't worry dad. I have a lot of firsts yet ahead of me!

I hope that daddy will put some pictures up here in the next couple of days for you. We'll see. We know how much of a slacker he is :-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Ho-Ho-Ho

2006-12-22T01:32:00.000-05:00

Seasons Greetings! As this thing called Christmas draws near, I know mom and dad are getting more excited. I am not too sure how much I understand what this day is, but if mom and dad are happy, then I am happy too.

Tonight I got to go visit Santa for the first time. This dude rocked! I loved him. I sat on his lap and I truly didn't want to leave. I just kept smiling at him. He told he was going to bring me a stuffed animal and a baby doll. I can't wait!

Well, best wishes. I will write again soon, especially to let you know how this big day goes!

LOOK AT ME!

2006-12-04T16:52:00.000-05:00

Just stopping by to say hello. Not a lot that is too new here. I have been trying a lot of new foods and deciding I don't like most of them :-p

Everything else has been good. I had a good first Thanksgiving and I am excited as anything about this thing called Christmas that is coming up! I don't know what it is, but it sounds great. Mom and dad said they are going to get a tree and everything.

Well...anyway, here are my 9-month pictures and some of me with mom and dad. Hope you enjoy.

The rest of my new pictures can be seen if you click on the Ella - 9 months and Family pictures links on the right.

Well, I will check in again soon.

Bye.

Full of Ship!!!

2006-11-06T16:54:00.000-05:00

Mommy, daddy and just about everyone under the sun think I am going to be a Shippensburg student some day. I already know Baby Hailey and Baby Brandon are going to be there and you know the dance floor at Wibs wouldn't be right unless Baby Ella was there shakin' my groove thang!!! But daddy says, "Absolutely, positively no walk of shame!!!"

Well...here I am supporting the school already:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Here I am as an Ella O'Lantern:

More new pics

2006-10-30T01:39:00.000-05:00

Still more pics taken with the phone cam. Not the best, but cute nonetheless!

New picture!

2006-10-30T01:15:00.000-05:00

Here is a picture of me that dad took with his new cell phone!!! Not too shabby.

Happy Halloween

2006-10-30T00:56:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. Sorry again for the long period of time between my posts. I am a busy girl these days.

So here is the run down of what is new...

I have two more teeth coming in. Mom says I look like a vampire because they are not the middle two top teeth, but on either side. I will look very silly when they come in.

I have been babbling...A LOT! I am smiling so much now because everything makes me happy (especially my silly daddy!) I have been eating some solid stuff. I love pumpkin! Mom cooked one for pies and stuff and gave me some of what was left. It is quite yummy.

Daddy said I am getting bigger because the toy Aunt June got me now fits me. I used to sit in it and my feet dangled from the bottom. Now, I can actually get my feet down and move the entire way around.

Mom and grandma think I am going to play in the WNBA! Apparently they think I have some good coordination.

Mom is planning on dressing me up for Halloween. I have no idea what that is all about, but hey...I am pretty cute in any outfit, so I am not worried.

Well...that is all for now. Take care and Happy Halloween.

Big news!

2006-10-08T21:23:00.000-04:00

According to mmomy, I have said my first word! On Thursday she had lunch with a few of her former co workers and I kept babbling Da-Da over and over. Since then, I she has heard me say Ma-Ma several times as well. I don't understand why she is so excited. I have been talking since day...its just that no one understood! Anyway, daddy still hasn't heard me, so he is skeptical, but mommy and her friends and grandma all sware they have heard it.

Here are a few new pics. If you look at the albums on the right, you will see daddy was busy posting some new stuff for you to look at:

Sitting in the big chair!
Looking incredibly goofy!
Baby Hailey...my future roommate at Ship!
Enjoying the York Fair!

New Picture...finally

2006-10-04T17:01:00.000-04:00

Now that I am almost 7 months old, my worthless daddy finally got my 6 month pictures up here. Hope you enjoy my cuteness :-)

The rest of the pics are on the right under the Ella - 6 Months section.

Hey there, hi there, ho there!

2006-09-03T23:05:00.000-04:00

So, I spent the night at Grandma's house last night all by myself. I did pretty good too. I stayed up a little later than usual (grandma is already spoiling me!) and I slept the whole night through. Of course, I think the bad weather helps with that! Anyway, mommy and daddy got some new pictures and slacker daddy wasn't a slacker this time. He put them right up. Here are a few and the rest are under the NEW ALBUM link on the right.

Sitting on the big chair!

Taking a big nap!

Eating cereal for the first time!

New Pictures!

Here are just a few:

2006-08-11T08:16:00.000-04:00

Alas, I have failed to keep my promise of more posts. But what can I say, I am a 5-month old baby. My life is hectic and my schedule constantly full!

So the big news of the week for me is that my bottom two front teeth have started to come in. Mom noticed the other day that they were pushing through and then I grabbed dad's finger to suck on it and I bit him! So, they are there and through already. Not completly, but partially through.

The other big news is that I have started on some solid foods. Mom started feeding me rice cereal about two weeks ago and now she is mixing a little applesauce with it. I am still not too sure what I am supposed to do with this stuff. I still have that sucking movement down for my bottle, so my tongue often likes to force the rice cereal right back out on my chin. Mom laughs a lot when she is trying to feed me.

Speaking of mom, she has been home a lot lately. I heard her and dad talking about her losing her job and I think that is a bad thing, but at the same time, I love it. I get to spend more time with her this way. I think it makes her sad to think about going back to work though and leaving me behind. Don't worry mom...I'm a big girl, I can handle myself!!! :-)

I think that is all I have to update you on now. I promise dad will get more pics up here soon. He is such a lazy bum sometimes. If he doesn't hurry and get new pics up, I will just have to bite him again!!!

Take care and have a great weekend everyone!

Sorry for the delay

2006-07-01T01:37:00.000-04:00

Hello all. I know it has been a while since I last wrote something to you. I know...I am a slacker...just lack daddy :-)

Well, since I last wrote, daddy had his first Father's Day! I got him this really nice watch that I think he loves. Even though mommy picked it out, I think he knows that I would have picked that one if I was older :-)

Mommy and daddy both has a birthday in the same week. That was odd! Nonetheless, I got them some nice things and they got each other nice things. Daddy went to a baseball game on his birthday with mommy, so I didn't get to see him much that day.

I have been spending a lot of time with daddy, though. Now that mommy is back to work everyday and daddy has a less hectic schedule, he is home with me at least two or three days a week. I love it. I love to drive him crazy some days :-) He gets so frustrated, but I just laugh!

I have spent a few days with Grandma as well. She found out the other day that I like to fuss and not want to take naps during the day. Daddy thought that was funny. He said he was glad to see I showed someone else how fussy I can get! Hee-hee!

There are some new pictures of me listed on the right. I had some professional shots done last Sunday. Mommy and daddy loved them! Here are the two poses they picked out:

One of the other things I did, actually on Father's Day, was get baptized. We went to church and I was dressed in a cute little white dress. Pastor Dave put some water on my head and then he sang to me. Mom and dad were so proud of how well I did. I didn't cry or fuss or anything. When will they learn I love being the center of attention! :-) Uncle Todd and Aunt Lisa were there too. Actually, they are my Godparents now! I know they are far away, but I am happy mommy and daddy chose them. Uncle Todd is silly and Aunt Lisa is so caring. Just like mommy and dad. Here is a picture of me with them from Aunt Lisa's bridal shower:

Well enough of me for now. I promise I will try to write more often. I am just so busy these days! Take care all and have a great July 4th (whatever that means!)

Busy few days

2006-06-05T22:11:00.000-04:00

It has been a very active few days for me. On Friday, I went and stayed at Grandma Jinny's for the first time. (She really isn't my grandma, but I call her that...its just easier.) I was there from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. It was a long day, but I had a good time. I met a lot of other older kids and they were amazed by me. I am so precious, I know!

On Saturday, mommy took me to Aunt Lisa's bridal shower. I met a lot of new people there and I got passed around to a lot of people. Aunt Lisa kept trying to steal me, but I think moomy would have tracked her down.

On Sunday, I spent the day with Grandma and Aunt Denise. Mom and dad went to an Orioles game and left me behind :-( They said I was still a little too little for the game, so I stayed behind. Someday I will get to go. I can't wait.

This week is pretty tame. Daddy is home a lot with me now and mommy is back to work. I was sad to see her go, but I understand if I want to keep eating those yummy bottles, both she and dad need to leave every once in a while.

Well, that is the update from 1 foot down! Bye.

Pictures updated

2006-05-30T19:40:00.000-04:00

Daddy has added some new pictures. Check out the links on the right.

Happy Mother's Day!

2006-05-15T01:05:00.000-04:00

Today is mommy's day! I got her some nice stuff and daddy helped me pick a nice card. I think she was very happy with it.

Daddy also posted a few more pictures...61 to be exact. Here are some: (the rest can be found if you click on the "my first months" link on the right!)

My new hat!

Smiling at Grandma!

Getting my first bath!

Busy girl

2006-04-30T01:20:00.000-04:00

Hey there folks. My apologies for not writing. I realized today has been two weeks since I last posted something. Just like my daddy, I am quite the slacker :-)

Today was a big day for me. I went to the mall with mommy and daddy and we walked around for several hours. I did get a bit fussy, but after a clean diaper and a bottle, I was much better. It was great to hear all of the noise and see all of the bright lights. I think it was good for mommy to get out as well.

For the most part, not a lot has changed. Mom and dad always get big smiles on their faces when I smile at them. Too funny. If only they knew I was just farting!!!

Daddy was gone for a few days last week. I was beginning to think he wasn't coming home at all. But every night mommy would give me a kiss and tell me that daddy said he loved me. I did miss that fat boy! I was happy to see him on Thursday and he held me and gave me lots of kisses. Always a good thing.

Mommy has been spending lots of time with me as well. I know she is dreading going back to work in a few weeks, but its okay. I will miss her, but at some point I need to cut the cord...right??? :-)

Well, I better go get some rest. Speaking of which, I have been sleeping most of the night lately as well. Last night I went to bed at 11:30 and didn't get up again until 7. Then after a quick bottle and a diaper change (really the highlights of my day), I went back to sleep until noon! Mom said she thought maybe I was having a growth spurt that was making me tired. I don't know, but man was it nice to sleep in!

Later folks...maybe I will have some new pics soon too!

My first Easter

2006-04-17T00:10:00.000-04:00

Yesterday was my first Easter. I had so much fun!

First, mommy and daddy took me to church for the first time. Well, I got to go to the nursery, but it was still pretty cool. I got to meet two other bigger girls named Ella. One of them was even named Ella Marie. That name rocks!

When we got home, Grandma, Aunt Denise and Uncle Jason all stopped by. Along with mom and dad, they all ate ham and lots of good stuff. Dad kept joking that maybe next year I can try some. I will stick with formula for now.

I got a cool basket filled with all kinds of goodies from the Eatser Bunny. I am not sure who this character is, but I hope he is not one of those bunnies that Buster is always chasing! :-(

Here are some pics from my big day:
My cool new lion!

My giant bunny!

Waiting for my basket

I know

2006-04-06T14:56:00.000-04:00

I know, I know...you are sitting there thinking "what does a baby have to do all day that she can't find time to write a Blog entry?"

Well, things have been going very well here. Now that mom and dad have gotten my feeding a little more regulated, I am much more content than before. Plus, now I can leave stinky farts that make daddy gag! Hah...9 points for me!

I am loving life on the outside. Aside from some painful gas and some loud noises, everything is wonderful. Mommy and daddy cuddle me and give me kisses all the time. I get to see grandma almost every day! Buster likes to kiss the top of my head and I get to sleep all night and stare at things in amazement all day. How much better could it get???

Daddy says he has a few more pictures to post, but he is very busy. I know mommy is worried about some of his work trips coming up. She is nervouse about being home with me by herself. I don't know why she is worried. I am less than 10 pounds for heaven's sake! Anyway...daddy will post the pictures soon...he promises.

Well...I better go. I am going to visit grandma tonight with mommy and Aunt Brenda. Should be fun!

Take care :-)

I'm home

2006-03-18T14:48:00.000-05:00

So I came home on Sunday. Sorry for the delay in writing, but I decided to torment Mom and Dad with a lot of fussiness during the night. Things are slowly calming down again and I actually let mom and dad have a pretty good nights rest last night.

Not perfect, but pretty good.

Here are a few more pictures for you to enjoy:

This is a close up of me!

Check out my cute little dress. That is what I wore home.

All in all, things are going pretty good. I like my new home and my brother Buster has taken really well to me. He gets concerned when I cry and he often runs to mom and dad when I cry. But he has been very good.

This house and life isn't too bad. Eat, sleep, poop, eat, sleep, poop. That is the routine!

I will check back later!

Ta-Da

2006-03-11T00:03:00.000-05:00

At 3:32 PM on March 10, 2006...I ARRIVED!!!!

Look at all my hair!

Here I am!

Me and two very wierd people I think are my mom and dad!

I have so many more pictures of me already! I am coming home Sunday, so I am sure there will be even more. I promise more now that I am here!

LET'S CELEBRATE!!!

Induce this!

2006-03-09T17:42:00.000-05:00

After planning to be induced on Monday of next week, I made decision...today might work! Mom has been having contractions since 6:00 AM this morning and as of right now...5:44 pm...they are about 6 minutes apart.

Not too much longer until I am out of this wonderful place and into the great unknown.

See you on the flip side!!!

Not so fast

2006-03-02T09:28:00.000-05:00

38 hours 24 minutes and 30 seconds

Ha-Ha! Mom thought I wanted to come out...fooled her!. We went to the doctor yesterday and he checked to see if mom was ready to invite me into the world. Guess what...nothing! She is sealed tighter than Fort Knox :-) I know...a bit graphic, right. I am getting a little loopy in here. No room to stretch, no space to move...I think I am going abit crazy.

Of course that could just be my personality coming through. I mean please...look at who my parents are! Wow...I just realize I don't stand a chance of ever being normal.

Anyway...I am not sure if I will make my grand entrance on Monday of next week like predicted or if I will hang around and give grandma a nice 60th birthday gift. Either way, it can't be too much long. Can it?

Now its hours and minutes!!!

2006-02-24T22:03:00.000-05:00

240 hours 48 minutes and 26 seconds

So we are now down to counting by the hours and minutes. With under 10 days until I am supposed to arrive, I am getting very anxious.

I am so ready to meet my mom, dad, brother Buster, Grandma, Aunt Denise, Uncle Jason, Aunt Brenda...well, pretty much everyone.

It is dark in here, on top of being cramped and very hot. I keep telling mom to let me out by jabbing her in the ribs and generally making it hard for her to sleep, but I guess she just isn't getting the message.

Oh well!

See you all very, very soon :-)

Knees, elbows...

2006-02-15T00:34:00.000-05:00

20 days 22 hours and 30 minutes

As it gets more and more cramped in here, I have less room to stretch and move. I know that mommy doesn't like it, but sometimes I just need to stretch and kick and punch. Sometimes I hear her saying that she can feel my elbow or my back or something else. She is always making anoise and then touching her belly when I move now...she must really be able to feel me.

I also heard her say that her whole belly shifts back and forth sometimes when I move. Some of her coworkers are grossed out by it! I think its funny. Makes mommy look funny.

I heard we got a lot of snow the other day. I have no clue what the heck that is, but apparently it was a lot. I know daddy kept telling me to wait to come out until after the snow had stopped. It must be a mess whatever it is.

Well folks...I need some rest. With the countdown at 20 days and counting, I need all the rest I can get.

Talk to you later...or better yet...see you soon! :-)

Oh so close

2006-02-01T23:58:00.000-05:00

33 days 22 hours and 56 minutes

Well, as you can see above, we are almost a month away from my arrival! How exciting. Mom and dad just finished child birth classes this past weekend and I got hear about all the things mom can expect the day I come. Sounds like it will be pretty rough ride, but I think I will be ready. Things are getting way too cramped in here. I keep kicking mom, but I don't think she is getting the point.

Tomorrow we get to visit old Doc Piccolo again. If I remember right, we start weekly visits after to the doctor after tomorrow, so that just means a lot of poking and prodding for me.

According to mom, everything is going quite well. She giggles when she can feel a part of me poking through her belly. Oh, speaking of which, dad keeps telling everyone she is about to pop. Sounds as if she has a round little belly on the outside :-)

Not too much has been happening, but I guess there will be a lot more to write about in the next few weeks.

I am getting excited to meet all the voices I have heard for the past 8 months.

Take care and I will see you soon ;-)

Surprise!

2006-01-18T01:41:00.000-05:00

Wow...this weekend was great. On Sunday, mommy was very surprised when Grandma, Aunt Denise, Aunt Brneda and dad threw her a baby shower. I loved to hear all the noise and I loved that mommy was so happy. When she is happy, I am happy :-)

Based on what I heard, I got a lot of good stuff! It didn't sound like mom got anything for herself, but it sounds like I am well stocked with clothes, toys and all kinds of good stuff. I love it.

Tomorrow I get to be poked and prodded again by the docs. Mom and dad now have to go once every two weeks since we are getting closer to when I need to come out. And by the way...that couldn't come a moment too soon. It is CRAMPED here. I have to kick mom's kidneys, gall bladder, spleen, whatever is in the way. One good thing, I have found this very soft thing to sleep on. I think mom calls it her bladder.

Mom and dad started to take birthing classes two weeks ago. I heard them touring the hospital and last week mom started to learn how to breath. I don't know what the big deal is for her. All she has to do is lay there. I am the one you should feel bad for. I leave my warm, cushy home I have to be thrown into a cold, bright new place.

Well...time for sleep. Gotta get ready for another day or terrorizing mom's organs :-)!!!

Take care everyone.

So loud!!!

2006-01-02T01:38:00.000-05:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

That is all I heard screamed at the top of people's lungs last night! Good God it was noisy. I was very excited because I got to hear a lot of people this weekend and mommy was feeding me shrimp...yummy. Then, all of a sudden, I hear a group of people shouting numbers and then they screamed Happy New Year about 1000 times. Holy cow.

Mommy seemed to enjoy it, so I didn't mind so much, but that was way past my bedtime...don't these people understand that???

Today I got a lot of sauerkraut and mashed potatos. That is some good stuff. Mommy actually at it for two meals. She than had some pizza that daddy made for her. He is so nice.

Well, I need to get some sleep! I have a lot to catch up on :-)

So...Happy New Year folks!

Happy Holidays

2005-12-27T09:42:00.000-05:00

67 days 13 hours and 8 minutes

Happy Holidays from the inside of mommy's belly!

Things here have been very busy this past week. I have heard so many voices and again had so much good food, I just don't know where to begin.

Last Wednesday I heard Grandpa Baker and Great Grandma Baker. Mom and Dad went to dinner with them and I got to hear them talking all about me. I love all of this attention :-)

This weekend I got to hear Uncle Jason, Aunt Denise, Grandma, Aunt Brenda and lots of others. That was Christmas day. I can't wait until I am out to experience that day. I kept hearing everyone say they couldn't wait until next year when I was here because there would be a lot of stuff for me! I love me some presents!

Things in here are still very good, albeit a little cramped. It seems everytime I move now I am bumping into something. Of course, that is okay too, because it makes mom jump and she gets excited everytime she feels me. As long as she is happy, I am happy.

I keep hearing this name Ella. Daddy was talking to me the other night and he kept saying it over and over. Grandma keeps saying it and mom is telling everyone that name as well. I am beginning to think that might be my name! I like it. It is very cool.

Oh, I forgot to mention...on Christmas eve I heard mom and dad say they were going to the candlelight service at church. I loved it!!! The bell choir was cool and the Christmas music was very neat. I heard dad say that I must have some of Grandma Baker in me because of how much I loved the music. Sweet.

Well, I am tired from all of this writing, so I am going to take a nap. Sorry for the delay in writing, but rolling, sleeping, eating, sleeping, kicking and sleeping make for a busy day.

Bye-bye.

OH BOY!!!

2005-12-08T17:26:00.000-05:00

Well...today mommy and daddy found out what I am! Here is the picture they got...can you tell???

Well if you don't see anything, that is becaise there is nothing there. After six months, I can finally tell all of you as well...I am Baby Girl Baker! :-)

I don't know if dad is disappointed or not, but I just want to reassure him...I still love me some O's! Of course, I will be checking them out with mommy!!!

Well, I need a nap. Too much excitement for one day. Ole Doc Piccolo was really moving some junk on me today, so it wore me out.

Later.

HOLY CRAP!

2005-12-01T00:36:00.000-05:00

Ok...it again has been a while...but I have to say...whatever this Thanksgiving thing was last week...WOW!!!! Mom has never fed me so much and so many different good things! Apparently dad made this stuff and it was wonderful. I can't wait to get out and let him feed me even better.

Speaking of dad, he felt me kick for the first time the other night. I am sure he loved it and was grinning from ear to ear.

I continue to stir around and mom giggles when i get the hiccups! (which, by the way, happens quite frequently now.) I always wait until she is sitting still to move around. I know she we will feel me then.

I got to hear Uncle Jason, grandma and Aunt Denise last week too. I haven't heard Uncle Jason for a long time, but it was good to hear him again.

Next week mom and dad are going to see if they can see what I am. I already know if I am a girl or a boy...but I am not going to tell you. You have to wait just like everyone else!

Gotta get to bed. Later.

Can you feel me?!?!?

2005-11-15T00:11:00.000-05:00

Mom and dad were amazed on Sunday night when I decided to show mom I was inside. I started to move enough that her belly began to jump. Apparently it wasn't a lot of movement, but it was enough that they got excited. I love messing with them!

I also heard mom call and make an appointment today for Dr. Piccilo in December. I am not sure why she called for an additional appointment, but I believe it might be for them to see what I am! Dad is so impatient :-)

Ta-Da!!!!

2005-11-07T01:35:00.000-05:00

Hey buddies...

I must say I am sorry for my lack of visiting with you over the past few weeks. I am doing very well, growing every day an fluttering more and more. Really, other than that, nothing exciting has happened...

until this week. Mom and dad went to what they were calling the Eastern Shore on Thursday and Friday for daddy's work. I have to laugh...he must be a major wuss! The reason mommy went was because she had to drive dad across a big bridge. I could tell as we crossed it that dad was scared because he was actually quiet for a while!!! :-) The next day mom went to visit dad at work again and he took her into a lunch where she fed me well...very well!!! I must say, I love crab cakes. They were delicious.

I also got hear Aunt Lisa and Uncle Todd the other night too. Mommy and daddy had dinner with them and it was very nice to hear them again. I think Aunt Lisa is more excited than most for me to get here!

Mom is doing great. I heard her tell dad the other day that she is glad that people look at her now and realize she is pregnant, instead of thinking she is just getting fat. I am sure she is beautiful. She continues to feed me lots of good grub, even though it doesn't seem like it has been as much. Oh well!

Mom and dad went the other week to register...whatever that is. I will say though, I think they were looking for things for me. If that is the case, I am one lucky baby. There is some nice stuff they were talking about.

Mom told dad today that she thinks it might be soon that he can start to feel me moving. I laughed. I have been moving my butt around in here for quite sometime and doing the best I can to make people know I am here. I guess mom has been the only one to feel. I gotta work harder on this.

I get to hear Dr. Piccilo again this week. Should be fun. I always hear him talking and then he pushes this thing on mommy's tummy. I think he is listening for my heart beat, so I make sure he finds it easily...just so mom and dad don't worry.

5 months now and things are really cramped. I am not sure how much longer I am going to be here, but I hope some spaces opens up. I am afraid I will have to sleep with my knees in my face!

Well...I am going to go now. I hope all of you are doing well!

Take care outsiders!

Fluttering away

2005-10-08T01:20:00.000-04:00

Here I am! Things are still going well. Mom has started to feel me fluttering around and she giggles everytime it happens! The other week she thought I didn't like Chinese food because I was moving around a lot after she ate at buffet. But let me tell you something...I loved it! I was moving all around because the food stopped and I was looking for more. That's some good stuff! :-)

Dad has been missing a lot this week. I did hear him say he was very tired, so I am not sure what he was up to. I sure did miss him though. He is still rubbing mom's belly and I hear him get very close and say hello a lot.

Next week we go for another check-up. I am going to let mom and dad hear how strong my heartbeat is. Mom told dad tonight that we are half way through. That means I have been in this little space for 4 1/2 months! Speaking of which, everyday it seems to get smaller and more tight in here. I am not sure what is going on, but I am ready to look for a new place. This is getting very cramped. Almost not enough room to hang my plasma screen TV on the walls!

Well...I am off to sleep...what else is new :-) I will check back soon. Take care outsiders.

Time to check in

2005-09-22T00:32:00.000-04:00

Apologies for my long delay. I have a lot of stuff to share and just can't find the time to write. I am spinning and stetching and everything else...very busy day.

Mom had her checkup last week and everything is good. Mom and dad heard my heartrate again...146 beats per minute. Dad does a pretty mean imitation of the sound. He cracks me up.

Oh...before I forget...I have no idea what this "fair" is that mom and dad took me to last week but my God was the food wonderful. I tasted things I never knew existed and now I can't wait to get out and try them for myself! Ice cream in waffles, fried veggies, Bricker's Fries, funnel cake, Gyros, Italian Steak sandwiches...and that was just the first day :-) No, I kid. Mom kept saying she was excited for fair food and she certainly showed it by what she fed me. Mom and dad eat good stuff!

Mom still gets tired very easily and after walking around the fair, she was pooped. Even after a long day at work, she tires out very easily. Poor mom. But she says that I am worth it...that makes me smile.

I also made my first trip to my future alma mater this weekend. Mom and dad went to a Ship football game and I got to hear everything. Aunt Barker was there and mom and dad seemed to have a good time. A lot of news, but I can't wait to see what football looks like. Dad talks about it all the time, so it must be good.

Well...I need my sleep as well. Long day ahead of me tomorrow...you know, with all the swimming and bouncing and stuff.

I'll check back soon.

So tired!

Hey folks...sorry I got lost there for a few days. Mom and Dad have been wearing me out. Apparently we went on vacation last week. I am not sure what that was, but it made me and mom very tired. She walked and walked and walked and I slept and slept and...well, you get the point. She seemed to be very relaxed though, so I enjoyed it.

Other than that, not too much new here. I can still hear daddy and every once in a while I hear him a lot louder. He pressed against mommy's tummy and talks. It makes me smile when I hear him. This fella is gonna be cool.

I heard mom and dad got a me a few things already. The other week they bought some stuff at yard sales and I know I have some clothes waiting. Hopefully something that is going to make me look cute...

Please...I don't need clothes for that :-)

Well, I am going to go back to sleep. If I don't check in before, I will stop by next week. Mom goes to Doc Piccolo for a check up and I may have some things to tell you about that.

Plus...mom keeps giving me happy feelings everytime dad mentions the York Fair. Her belly growls and she seems pleased. I am not sure what this is either, but I am sure it will provide a fun story!

Take care outsiders! :)

Me again!

Holy Moley!

I didn't realize how long it had been since I last checked in with everyone. Of course, where was I really going to go! I swim one way and then another. That's about it for now and I am happy. As long as mom keeps feeding me, I am satisfied.

Mom took me to the doctor on Thursday. Everything is good, but of course, I could have told her that. I felt the Doc Piccilo poking around. I tried to poke back, but I still have these tiny hands, so I couldn't. But you wait, once I am out of here, I'll remember him poking me!

I have to say too...I am not sure where mom and dad live, but it has been HOT!!! Last Saturday we were at that place with all the cheering and stuff again and I was sweating! It was super hot. I heard mom mention something about 100 degrees. I am not sure what that means either, but I think I would rather not find out. They must of have found some shade, though, because I cooled down after a while.

I heard daddy talking to me tonight. At first he was being silly and singing a song, but then I heard mom tell him to be serious and then he said hello. I was yelled back, but, nothing came out. So if you are reading this dad...Yo, what up dude! :-)

Mom has been buying some stuff for me too. I heard her and Grandma today talking about some things they bought at yard sales. I can't be sure, but apparently these are places sell their yards. They must sell other stuff too, because a I got some cool stuff. This being a baby stuff is going to rock!

Well, I better get to sleep. I wanted to say hello at least, so you didn't think I moved. Be well all and I will write again soon!
