Ellen Crawls!

Ellen hit a major milestone this week...she learned how to crawl (pictures to come)! She is now a mobile baby exploring every nook of our townhouse. The other exciting news is that we are in the process of buying our first house (pictured below) in N. Arlington! So, Ellen will have much more room to spread out later this year. In the meantime, she's staying cool by hanging out at the pool until the warmest DC June on record subsides. Also pictured below, Ellen hanging with Aunt Meggers at a cookout.

Ellen's New Look

So I finally caved...I put a bow in Ellen's hair, see below. I have never been a proponent of making Ellen look very "frilly". My mom even gives me a hard time for not putting Ellen in more dresses. Now that I've gotten over that hump and put a bow in Ellen's hair (yes, she has a lot of it) I have become a convert...she does look pretty cute!
