Endearing, Edorable, Ellery

9 months came and went, and there wasn't so much as a post - my poor second child!  At every 3-month interval with Tanner, we sent out pictures - poor, poor, Ellery Kay.  Maybe for one year?  AAAAaaaack!  (cue bad mom music....) 

Enjoy this super-cute pic as a peace offering:

Cutest.  Picture.  Evah.

Anyways, Ellery Kay Hurliman's 9-month stats are:

28 1/2 inches long (75%)
17 lb, 8 1/2 oz (26%)
18 inches head circumference (88% - big brains! :)

Oddly enough, she is the exact same "height" as Tanner was at 9 months (but 28 1/2 inches was 62% then, weird), but Tanner weighed *THREE* pounds more!  Ellery is much more sneaky and conniving than her big sis was at 9 months, however.  She has been cruising, has 3 teeth, and has been crawling for months - Tanner was a slacker in comparison!  :):):)  (Elle also had a nasty stomach bug...all you Flora-ites know about that! :)

Here are some more cute-a-pottamus pics of Ellery as she's motoring around during her 9th month.  We think she's perfect, even if she is a smidgen grouchier about teething than her big sis was!!! :)  Enjoy!

With that belly, how could she be 3 lbs less? :)



I swear, she's not always so happy (but she *IS* always so adorable! :)



puffs....num, num, num...

You think you want a puff?  Double Dog Dare Ya.



Blaaaaaaaaaah. 



And this one again, because it's SO.  STINKIN'.  EDORABLE.
