The Rumor's Are True...

We are headed back to Amarillo...

Which is why there hasn't been a lot of updates on the blog. The last month has been busy. Mommy and Elliot moved up to Amarillo in the middle of October so that she could start her new job at Northwest Hospital. Daddy visited on the weekends and today was his last day with the Rangers. Plan A is for him to get certified to teach. The house is sold and now we just have to move all our belongings. We are really excited for this new phase of our life.

Elliot is able to put sentences together and tell us when she has to "poo poo" and has successfully gone in her little potty! The success rate is 10% at best, but it is still really early and this is driven by her not us, so we are taking it really slow. She has more teeth coming in, so she shouldn't be Dracula for much longer. She loves Mickey Mouse ClubHouse and Baby Praise. She is such a sweet mommy to her little babies. She has been such a trooper during this transition. She is an amazing little girl and we are so blessed to have her. It has been really hard on Dad to just have weekend visits, but that is about to end really soon!

Anytime she sees a camera, she says "cheese" instead of closing her eyes or looking away, so we are getting some good pictures! She is so full of personality...

Elliot at 15 months

Elliot is getting really big. At 15 months she is talking alot, almost stringing sentences together. Her vocabulary is huge. However, she is getting a little attitude, which we are trying to get a handle on! Here is a video of her showing off. She can do her animal sounds and identify her body parts. She is tons of fun!

Elliot's First Cowboys' Game

We were lucky enough to get free tickets to the Cowboy's first preseason game, so we packed Elliot up and away we went. We had a lot of fun taking Elliot to her first game. The new stadium is incredible!






Elliot in Austin

In need of getting some professional pictures taken of Elliot, we packed up for a day trip to Austin to visit Uncle RyRy and Aunt B! We had a blast and the pictures are awesome! Here are a few samples...
















Thanks Uncle RyRy! As always the pictures are incredible!

First Haircut

This happened a while ago, but we are just getting around to updating, in fact, it might already be time for another one. Elliot was so good!
