Ellen Strikes a Pose

So Ellen and I just enjoyed our first Itsy Bitsy Yoga class. I'm sure you're all dying to know what it entailed. Let me fill you in... Picture a big room with yoga mats and lots of babies, a very excited and sweet natured instructor, and the occasional meltdown. Ellen and I learned a couple of "poses," but mostly she just stared intently at her neighbor. It was a nice way to get out of the house, see how far we've come (i.e. the 7 week old babies) and what lies ahead (the 8 month old). We considered a double workout (i.e. baby pilates) but alas Ellen needed a nap...

Ellen Turns Four Months!

So, I haven't been exactly dilligent in keeping up with this blog, but I vow to change my ways in 2010. Ellen has grown so much, as you can see in the pictures below (my appologies for my poor photography skills). She is now blabbering, smiling, cooing, and sleeping pretty well, sorta :) She is such a sweet baby...we feel so lucky.

Over the last month Ellen got a mild case of RSV from her brief stint at daycare but she's fine now and enjoying her new playmate, our Brazilian nanny Lily who is wonderful! This week we start our first Itsy Bitsy Yoga. I'm not sure what to expect, as I'm pretty sure downward dog is not involved!

That's all for now...enjoy the pictures!
