Pretty N' Pink

Ellie took her first trip to Bakersfield and had so much fun visiting her grandparents and great-grandparents! Grammy Liz gave her this adorable pink polka dot dress.
We just love the fun hair piece!


Shawna and the babe are about to get out of the house!!!

The Cutest Pictures EVER

'Nuff said.

Fweet PJs

We received the cutest little footsie PJs from the Thawleys, a family in Shawna's childhood ward back in Lodi. Look at the pics!

Elizabeth Ryan meets Ryan

Ryan Partnoff, DDS, is a good friend and former classmate of Andrew's. It was he, while at school, who jokingly suggested that we should name our baby after him. Upon relating this to Shawna, Andrew was surprised to find that Shawna actually really liked the suggestion; she thought Ryan would be a cute name for a little girl. But we decided that it would serve better as a middle name, which is where "Ryan" came from.
So today for the USC game, Ryan Partnoff came over and met Elizabeth for the first time. Here they are together--little Ellie and her middle namesake.
Oh! And look at Ellie's fweet little dress, courtesy of Grammy Liz!

Animated Ellie

If this were a flipbook, it'd be quite the movie.

What To Wear: Baby Ellie with the Horspools

Our good friends the Horspools (Andrew and Bryan were virtually roommates in DT at BYU) gave little Ellie the cutest gifts! Yesterday she got all dressed up in her new duds and was quite the fashion plate. Here are pics!

Pretty in Purple

So the other night, Mommy and Daddy found this cute little cable knit dress for Ellie. Here she is, modeling it for all to see!


So cute!

(Those who are observant will notice some fresh spit-up on her left leg)

Grammy Liz and Papa Bill visit for Conference

So we were fortunate enough to have a visit from Grammy Liz and Papa Bill this Conference weekend. Fun was had by all, and as usual, they came bearing gifts. Grammy Liz made Ellie little bows for her hair, so here are some pics!

We just thought these were cute PJs

So here they are.
