I LOVE JULY! (**Watch out picture overload!**)

So I am a little late in posting Miss Ellie’s 5 month blog, but we have been pretty busy. This is definitely my favorite month of the year, maybe because it’s my birthday month and there is always time for the beach!!

The fourth of July was celebrated at Fripp Island with some of the family. We had such a great time on the golf cart and hanging out on the beach. And finally after several outings to the beach Miss Ellie has come to love it (and I could not be happierJ). She is either sleeping or eating on the beach.

When getting home from the beach the Brown’s came to visit with Tanner and we had a great time catching up by the pool!

Miss Ellie is also one lucky lady, at only 5 months old she got to stay at The Greenbrier for almost a week and was on her very best behavior. Did not sleep to well in her pack and play, but loved the bucket in the stroller almost every night. Ellie had a great time with a few of her cousins for the week. She just loves watching older kids and cracks up around them.

Such a wonderful Dad!

Pool time, Daddy style.... Diaper

Can never have to many family shots, right?!

Thanks to Mom and Dad we got a couple nights out!!

The girls plus David :)

Gracie, Adeline and Ellie

We also got to take the Cook's motorhome up to the Greenbrier with Hunter, Joy, Gracie, Adeline, Cam, Jimmy, James and Ellie which was allot of fun. David was a trooper and drove up there and back with only a couple stops both ways.

My favorite picture... The entire family (minus Craig, Tricia, Hamilton and Zan) at the Greenbrier with the motorhome parked in the front... We know how to make an exit!

Our captain and co-captain... Hunter kept David entertained the entire time!!

Ellie buckled in and ready!

Ellie in the past month has become even more alert and loves to chime in on conversations or listen and watch whoever is talking very intently. (Teaching her early to make eye contact :)) And thanks to Aunt Cammie, Ellie now knows how to blow raspberries and soaks everything she wears. Another funny thing is, she puts her hands behind her back and sleeps WONDERFULLY, at least 10 hours a night with the occasional midnight wake if her schedule is a little off.
