August Fun!

We have had such a fun, hot & eventful month! First, our trip to Nashville ... then visitors, doctors appts & daily plans! This week, the weather has finally started to cool off! It seems like all of our play dates have been inside or cut short. I really like having something to do, if not everyday, most days! So, we try to find something to get ourselves into when Chad is at work! We meet friends for lunch, we go to friends to play, or have friends over here! Last Thursday night, Ann came to visit! We had such a nice couple days with her! She is busy coaching Siegel High School Volleyball in Murfreesboro, TN but, she squeezed in time for us! Saturday, Ellie's friend Maddie (pictured below) had her 1st birthday party! It was monkey themed & very cute. Her mommy, Marianne is staying home this year as well, so we get together often!
This week is not as eventful ... but, tonight we are having a double baby 'sprinkle' shower for resident families here in JC. Both familes are having boys (Zachary & Bowen) & have 2-3 kiddos already. Friday & Saturday, Ellen has a pre-season tourney in Knoxville & Chad is off!! So, we are heading to k-town for some volleyball!! I am so excited to see her & let Ellie wear some orange~ :)
I am proud to say, Ellie is back to sleeping throught the night! YAYAYAY! I am so happy & well rested! She had been doing so well & then 2 weeks ago after a upset tummy day, she was back to waking up 1-3 times during the night. Sometimes she wanted to nurse, sometimes she wanted her paci & sometimes she was just fussy & wanted her mommy to hold her. But, all of the sudden, Friday night she slept all night 8pm-7am! I was beginning to think that this darn cereal was to blame! We have added veggies~loved the squash, spit out the sweet potatoes! We will keep trying :) She is so cute, I just love her SO much! Chad is pretty in love with her, too! She smiles & laughs @ him every evening when he gets home ~ it is so sweet! Sometimes I have to remind him for a kiss~hehe!
Here are some pics of our girl~
