First Haircut!

So I finally broke down and took Ellen for her first haircut. It was time! Her hair was cute, but getting a bit wispy if you know what I mean. I took her to the local barbershop after reading a couple good reviews on yelp. She actually sat still for most of the haircut (to my surprise) and I think it turned out pretty darn cute! I did shed a little tear at this milestone as I tucked away her discarded hair for her baby book. How am I ever going to handle kindergarten!?

Ellen Walks!

I am very sorry for the delay in posting! We moved a week ago to our new house in Arlington, VA...pictures coming...and it's been chaos. We are in the midst of doing a major renovation to the second floor so Andy and I are currently living in the basement while Ellen sleeps on the main floor in the guest room.

Since moving into our new digs, Ellen has had more room to roam. I'm delighted to report that she is officially walking! Check out the video below. Although she is a bit of a late bloomer with her 14 month birthday nearing, I'm sure she'll pick up speed in no time! We're very excited to see her reach this milestone. I'm mostly happy because I'm ready for her to stop serving has a human vacuum cleaner picking up all things dirty on the floor :)
