Praying...

We are so thankful that everything with the triplets and Rochelle have been really good. Rochelle has been feeling really good and the babies are growing and looking great!

Today we got the news that Rochelle has to be admitted to the hospital tomorrow for close observation for 7-10 days. The doctor said that if they lived in Grand Rapids they could stay at home since they live in Holland she had to be admitted.

Please pray for Ryan, Rochelle, and the babies and that everything turns out well and that the babies will stay put for several more weeks.

We pray the babies and Rochelle stay healthy and strong.

6 months

Aunt Kristen (Tsakani Studios) took a few pictures of Ellyot for her 6 month pictures. We had her take some of the 3 of us too. I think it is our first family picture. Here are just a couple....

15 seconds of fame!

We walked the Bridge Walk in Zeeland today! We figured we should since it is right next door. It was fun and we actually made it on the news! Be patient through the advertisement first....

Starting Her Early!

Jeremy is making sure that Ellyot will be a die hard Detroit Lions fan. She was excited to watch the game tonight! (or so Jer thinks) :) But she does look so cute in her Calvin Johnson jersey!

Ellyot was 4 Months on June 26. We had her doctors appointment last week Tues. which meant more shots. She did pretty well for the most part. She was a little bit more fussy that day than she was the last time.

She also started cereal this week! She is getting better each time she eats. She really likes eating with a spoon and she LOVES to help!

We are very thankful to have a happy, healthy baby!

Aunt Rochelle and Cousin Louie

Ellyot had so much fun at the cottage playing with Aunt Rochelle and cousin Louie.

Ellyot's moving...

Our little girl is no longer sleeping in one spot in her crib. This morning when we went to get her up this is how we found her.

She loves to move! When Ellyot is playing on her play mat she will spin in a circle. She is a very active baby! I think she is going to be just like her daddy; always has to be doing something!

Last weekend Jeremy, Ellyot, and I went mini golfing at Craig's Cruisers. It was a little chilly so I put a hat on Ellyot before we left. When we went to take her out of the car this is how we found her. Sleeping away with the hat over her eyes. I think it is a bit too big yet! :)

Ellyot loves her lovie.

3 Months

We have to have Ellyot's 3 month picture taken yet, but here is the most recent picture of her. She is looking and acting so much older. She is so much fun!

Jesus Loves You Ellyot London

On Sunday April 26, Ellyot was baptized.

We were so honored to have our good friend and pastor, Tim Wilson, baptize Ellyot.

Four Generations

It was such a good day. We were very happy to celebrate this special day in our little girl's life with family and friends.

Shots

Ellyot had her 2 months doctors appointment last week, which means she had her shots. She did really well and so did I :). She only cried for a little bit. Once I held her and comforted her she was fine. The rest of the day she was a little mommy's girl. She just wanted to be held and cuddled all day.

The doctor said she had a perfect exam! Everything looked great! We were obviously very happy about that.

Happy Little Girl
