10 things I learnt this weekend

1. I had a really fantastic birthday! 
2. The party got started at the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg Friday morning. You can just never go wrong with that place. Always so great! I got pancakes, but next time I'll get the French toast. My Mamaw got that, and they are so mmmmm!
3. I love my new Nikes. A present from my mom and dad! Ella Jane loves them too. They have purple show laces which apparently she thinks is funny. ;) she gets in a dead stare at them and every time I move my foot, she just laughs. It's hilarious!
4. Josh got me a Nike pull over and 2 DIY books. He knows me so well! One is all about homemade remedies and the other is a DIY book on baby food! 
5. Mom cooked roast and potatoes Friday night. And Traci picked up Gigi's cupcakes. Needless to say I ate good Friday! 
6. Mom and dad kept Ella Jane all weekend (which was a present in itself)! So nice having a little break like that. :)
7. Mom got Ella Jane a baby walker that she walks backwards in Haha! 
8. Janie and Larry took josh and I to the Foothills Milling Company Saturday night. I ate Duck and Quail for the first time. If you know me, you know how picky I am! So this is major. And the fact that I loved them both is even more major. 
9. Ella Jane went to the nursery Sunday morning for the first time. I didn't expect to get emotional at all. But I did. I felt like I was dropping her off for her first day of kindergarten or something. They even put a little name tag on her back pack. :) She did really really good! They didn't have to page us one time. :) 
10. Ella Jane also experienced her first library story hour, called book babies (she actually went to this on Monday morning). It's for ages birth-24 months. She was the youngest one there though but such a proper little thing. She just sat at the carpet almost perfectly still the whole time, just taking everything in. I'm such a proud mommy.

1/2 BIRTHDAY!

Where does time go? Our little girl will be 6 months old tomorrow. Even though Josh made fun of me (I still think he secretly liked the idea, haha) we had Ella Jane a 1/2 birthday party yesterday afternoon. Nothing fancy, just family. And Melissa. But we consider her family. :) haha! We grilled hotdogs and hamburgers! I just love celebrating life's precious moments like this! And I just love being Ella Jane's mommy so much. Every day is an adventure. There's nothing like it in this world. Here are a few pics from her 1/2 birthday party. :)
