Somehow in the last year, Ellie went from this tiny 2 lb 3 oz, 13.5" baby......
to this! She's now 14 lb 15 oz, 26" long. That's an impressive gain, although even for a 9 month old (her adjusted age, from her due date) she's still very tiny.
She went from her Daddy's hands being bigger than her body,
to this!
From Daddy's wedding ring being able to fit on her arm (we didn't want to push it on but it would have gone up her arm),
to this!
From her arm being the same size as Mommy's finger (I couldn't find a picture from when she was born, she was about 6 weeks old in this picture),
to this!
From being the same size as her teddy bear,
to this!
Ellie didn't care too much about her birthday, but her brothers did. She had a rainbow cake and really wanted the candle (which we never lit). She grabbed at the cupcake I gave her, but never even licked at it. She wouldn't eat any ice cream, either. She's not too big on eating these days.
The inside of the cake was rainbow, too, I stole the idea from my cousin's wife.
Ellie can roll over, almost sit up unassisted, babble, make lots of sounds with her tongue/mouth, she loves certain toys, and she loves her brothers. She's a pretty easy going baby, so sweet, so happy, and we sure love her! She does not love eating, which hopefully is a result of her getting three teeth all at once. One year ago she was such a different baby, it's amazing how much they change in a year! Last year she definitely couldn't do this......

PS-Awesome Cake, Cath!!! Did you flavor each layer or just color it?
Happy Birthday Ellie!
well, of course she's not gaining weight. look at her working off those calories! :)
Thanks for the update, it sure was fun to see the pictures and to see how much she has grown!
Happy Birthday!
I can't believe she's one! She's so big now! Good job Ellie.
That is an awesome cake and that picture with the teddy bear is very dramatic!
Its just so crazy to look back at the pics of the differences. She looks a lot bigger then Miss A did at one, but there's only 6oz difference between the two. Ellie is such a cutie!!!!
