It is hard to believe that Ellie has been with us for 9 weeks now. In that time so much has happened, and we are amazed by her everyday. I can't lie, this child has hundreds of photos taken on a weekly basis, but I understand that as her very biased Mom, that I am probably the only one who thinks each and every photo is necessary:) Here are (only) a few of Ellie at 9 weeks. She learned to sit in the Boppy pillow and more importantly, is starting to laugh! Her smiles and laughter keep us amused everyday...
In addition to Ellie's new skills, we had our first NJ visitors, some old friends: Edith came up from Baltimore and Tia arrived from London (en route to Hawaii) for the weekend. We were thrilled to have them as our first visitors to Princeton and to meet Ellie. On Sunday, Dave and Sarah joined us from Brooklyn and drove over to see us. Edith made incredible blintzes for the occasion topped with blackberries from the Farmer's Market. (Jersey produce, love it!) The seven of us then took Ellie on a stroll around Princeton's campus. The day was beautiful and a first visit for Edith, Dave, and Sarah. Having such good friends in our new home was a wonderful way to continue getting settled.
"Oh, I love this lady with the red hair!"
