In transition









We have officially moved out of our Green Bay home and are "camping" out at my parents house in Wausau until April 6, which is our closing date on our new home in Cary, IL. My parents have graciously opened their house to us as we have temporarily moved in (their once clutter free home is now scattered with Elle's toys and books). Ellison and I have been here the last couple days as Jonathan packed our final things for the movers to take yesterday morning. All of our stuff will be sitting on the moving truck for the next couple weeks until our new house is ready. In the mean time, Jonathan will be going back and forth from Wausau to IL to work and Elle and I will be hanging out in Wausau.
The Update on Elle:
Ellison is now walking, even running, everywhere on her own now. She does not want to hold our hands, she wants to do it all by herself! She has been saying so many things lately like: ball, mom, dad...she makes the sound of a dog and airplane when asked plus she can count to 2 (we say 1, then she says 2)! She is now officially on formula and doing great. It was more difficult for me, physically, than it was for her to transition from nursing to formula/bottles. I'm finally free and it feels great! Her sleeping has improved too, she now takes hour + naps and only wakes up 1-2 times at night. She is doing different things each day and really growing up so fast. She is so much fun to be around, we all get a big kick out of her little personality.

I love the new picts of Elle! I totally know the sad feeling of "ending with breastfeeding" and switching to formula. That was hard for me to. I can't believe that she is almost 1, it makes me sad to think that they just grow too fast:(! Keep in touch.
