New Jersey Bound

Reading all about zoo animals

All tuckered out after a busy day at "school"

There's lots of exciting things going on in the Edelson household. Ellie, at almost 5 months and 15 lbs, is rolling all around. She easily goes from belly to back and is now rolling from back to belly. The first time she rolled back and forth was at daycare :( but we've managed to catch her in the act too! She's also found this squealing voice. The first time we heard it we didn't know what it was, but now we know she's just having a good time listening to herself "sing".

We've been enjoying our little bug so much! It's crazy to see how much she learns on a daily basis. Her Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Mel came for another visit this weekend from New York. And being an OT who specializes in pediatrics, Ellie received all sorts of toys and 1-on-1 time with her aunt rolling on the floor playing with balls, singing songs, listening to the water, and pretty much getting an education on EVERYTHING! All her senses got a workout.

Aunt Bonnie and Ellie

Aunt Bon and Mel are so great with Ellie that it will be wonderful being only an 1 1/2 hours away from them when we move to New Jersey! Yep, we are Jersey bound this June. Dave received orders to his #1 pick so we are very excited. I never thought we'd be living on the East Coast for 8 years. I just figured we'd do this one tour and head back West. But apparently there were other plans in the works for us. It's a great opportunity for us because the unit is on a huge base where Ellie will have lots of friends and playmates. Plus, I will be able to start my MHA program through Seton Hall University. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we make this transition this summer.

"Oh no she didn't!"  Some girl talk going on ; )

Unfortunately, this move means we will be leaving so many great friends we've made while here on Cape Cod. That is going to be one sad day when we say good-bye. But everyone is more than welcome to come down for a visit, especially since Dave will be gone quite a bit. And of course Ellie will miss her friends too :)

Clearly, Ellie doesn't share her mom's appreciation for big sunglases yet!  Ha, Ha.
