Happy Birthday Dad and Kellie!

Well, we have a lot to celebrate this week...on May 6th it was my Dad's 70th bday!! Woo-hoo! We threw a surprise party in his honor at the Chamber of Commerce in lovely Gainesville, Texas. I think he was a little suspicious, but we ended up pulling one over on him, I think he was quite surprised. Family and friends came from near and far to celebrate this big achievement! Also celebrating a birthday this week is my best friend Kellie! She came to dad's party too, and it was great seeing her...there are some cute pics of her and Ellorah on the link below, along with all the party pictures, so enjoy.

Also of note this week...we have moved Ellorah into her big crib, in her own room...and sunday night to celebrate dad's bday, she slept through the night! Woo-hoo!!!! She woke up once last night around 3 a.m., but I think it was from the thunder and lightning. She's getting to be such a big girl...I think she likes being in the crib, likes to be able to move around from edge to edge...it always a surprise how you will find her each time we check in on her. Last night I went to peek in on her and she was sleeping vertically in the crib, with her feet through the slats. Lovely. One more thing for me to worry about! I am loving her Angel Care monitor though...it is so nice, picks up the slightest breathing sounds, without a lot of static...and sounds an alarm if it doesn't detect movement for 15 seconds. It actually went off the other night, only b/c she had moved out of range for the sensor pad...but that is cool...I knew she was okay b/c I was already awake listening to her breathing...at least she can sleep if I can't! ; ) So I just went back in and put her back in the middle of the crib. The kid likes to move. She's also starting giggling a lot more, and has learned how to blow raspberries back and mommy and daddy. Very cute.

My Daddy turned 70!!!
