Welcome 2012 - First Post

Braden's taken Ellie back to the doctors this afternoon.  We've been dealing with, in my opinion, a never ending ear infection(s) since October.  Fortunately, it never seems to be both ears but there's been an infection in one of the ears since it started 3 months ago.  She scheduled to get tubes in 2 days.  So we're being uber cautious and trying to get rid of as much fluid from the ears as possible. 

Ellie has been a trouper though.  She very rarely complains.  It's just the subtle things that let us know something is not right. 

On top of the ears, she's also getting more teeth.  She has twelve currently, so I think these are the last 4 coming in.  Again, we're lucky/she's lucky that teething doesn't seem to bother her too much.  She still plays and eats normally.

Christmas and New Years were filled with lots of family this year.  We were with family every day except one during the last 10 days.  Ellie enjoyed unwrapping gifts.  Riiipppp.  One small of piece of wrapping paper would be then be handed to the nearest person.  The little hand reaching back to the rest of the pretty paper.  Ripppp.  Another piece removed and personally presented to the nearest person.  This process would continue until the entire layer of wrapping paper was peeled off.  The concept of the actual present didn't seem all that special.  There was no jumping for joy.  But she certainly seemed to appreciate having new things to explore and discover.

Here's a quick video from Christmas morning
