Update on the McCulloughs
We have been doing well. No one is currently sick and we hope to keep it that way. Ellen had some sort of stomach virus and then had back to back ear infections. Phillip and I have had on-going sinus problems and he had a really bad eye infection. Only the dogs have remained unscathed.
Ellen is not walking on her own yet, but she is getting more and more steady walking while holding our hands. She loves to push her walking toy around the house (she gets frustrated when she runs into something that stops her-it is funny). She still likes her books, but hasn't been taking them all off the shelves lately. She used to do this several time a day if permitted. Now she likes balls and trucks. She also likes to hold on to pens/crayons and paper and "write". She does a lot with her left hand but always puts the pen in her right hand. Hopefully she will be like Phillip...he writes with his right hand but plays sports with his left. I am so right hand dominant that I feel weak when using my left. Ellen also enjoys her puzzles. She is doing so many new things every day! We are in constant amazement. She is definitely a talker and we love it. Her sweet voice melts our hearts.
Just in case this changes, and it probably will as she goes through different eating phases, Ellen loves steamed squash, zucchini and broccoli. We steam carrots for her too, but she likes the others better. She really likes green beans and limas too. We are glad that she eats and enjoys vegetables. She is a good eater in general and likes a variety of foods.
We are planning to get our pumpkins today. I can remember when we did this last year. She was tiny then. She is not a little baby anymore! So sad!
We are looking forward to Cody's wedding in Texas (Phillip only), Halloween, a visit from Granddaddy, Thanksgiving and then Christmas. This is the best time of year.

Ice Ice Baby
Ellen loves ice - just like her Aunt Andrea. Sometimes she will hold a piece for a while and then put it in her mouth. I don't know how she does it!

Home Sick
Ellen has ANOTHER ear infection. I am home with her today. The emotion of the day... cranky! She just wasn't quite ready to go to daycare, but she will go tomorrow. It is always nice having one-on-one time with Ellen, but it has been a long day. I wish she felt better.
A couple pictures from this morning. We e-mailed these to Phillip at work.

Can't seem to get good pictures lately...
...but here are a few attempts! Ellen doesn't cooperate at picture time like she used to.
Playing in my crib before bedtime
I like rocking chairs
Just standing (leaning) against the wall
Last night at the hayride...watching Daddy roast some hot dogs
