This afternoon we had to take Ellie in to have her TB skin test read. Thankfully, she was fine and no chest x-ray required! While we were on that end of town (near the famous baby store), we stopped in to see if they had a baby back-pack. As you can tell from the photo, we found one we liked! Ellie has been increasingly demanding that we hold her so the decision to buy this was an easy one!By the way, it's a great sign that she wants to be held! She will either hold her arms up or reach for our hands as her way to communicate that she wants to be held. For us, this is huge. Oh, and it's usually accompanied by a whine. Another fun and exciting experience has been to watch her personality emerge. My mom put it best when she said that Ellie appeared in her video to becoming quite "boisterous." I couldn't say it better myself. She literally gets giddy from laughter each night and it's a blast to experience. Tonight all it took was a paper sack to start the giggles goin'.
Below are some photos I took of Ellie several nights ago. She's in my Grandpa vanOrman's childhood rocking chair.

You guys need to take a video of her giggling and submit it to American Funniest Videos. The ones that always win are the ones with babies laughing uncontrollably. Have you seen the one with the quads laughing? They just make you laugh every time.
Just love it.....
