Sorry for the rather crummy quality...I had to take pics with my cell phone since my regular camera froze up.

Niagara Falls in Winter
It was really amazing to see the Falls like this.

Nothin' to talk about
I haven't updated in the past week because there's really been nothing to post about.
I had a stomach bug last weekend, which Ella then got from me, so it's been a week of lots of laundry and trying to keep food to stay in our bellies. We're both feeling much better now, though, thankfully.
Jon and I have developed a slight obsession with Law and Order: SVU. With the Roku, we've been able to watch it from the first season...we're already mid-way through season 3.
That really is the extend of what's been going on. Just waiting for the weather to get warmer so we can spend more time outside.

The wierdness of Amazon
So last week, I placed an order with Amazon for 5 things -- 3 cases of baby food (they were having a great sale on Earth's Best...I think it's actually on through the end of the month), a teether for Ella (see previous post), and a salt cellar. An odd assortment of items, but that's neither here nor there.
I selected for the Super Saver shipping because I'm cheap like that, and we didn't really need anything that quickly. When you pick that particular shipping option, it tells you that your items might be shipped separately as they become available. OK, fine.
A few days go by, and I get an email that the teether and the salt cellar shipped. Great.
Next day, another email that tells me one case of the baby food shipped. Alrighty.
Day three, a third email telling me that the other 2 baby foods are on the way. Fine.
Cut to yesterday morning. I'm working in the office, and the dogs go nuts at the front door. I figure one of the packages is there. Lo and behold, two of them are there.
A couple of hours later, I'm back in the office again, and I hear a tremendous THUD outside. Dogs go nuts again. I go check, thinking it couldn't possibly be the 3rd box, especially having made such a noise. There it was. (When I opened it, I was actually surprised that none of the jars were broken, as it sounded like the UPS man had thrown it at the porch from the street.)
So I ordered 5 things at the same time, got 3 emails on 3 different days that the items were shipping in 3 separate boxes, and yet all 3 arrive on the same day.
As an aside to Amazon, the AirPaks don't work really well when they're not inflated. Just sayin'.

Lukin's new obsession
I ordered one of these Sophie the Giraffe teethers for Ella:
and it just got here today. Unbeknownst to me when I ordered it, Sophie squeaks. And that makes Lukin automatically think that the giraffe belongs to him.
He got ahold of it this morning, and he spent the afternoon staring up at the kitchen counter, where it was drying after I washed it off.
Now, as Ella is laying on the floor playing with the giraffe, among other toys, Lukin is laying right at the edge of the blanket, transfixed.
I guess the rule will be no Sophie if we are not in the room.

Ella's *official* 6-month pictures
We had these done last Friday (yes, it was at the tail end of her 6th month, but that still counts, right?). Both Jon and I were really happy with how they came out. She was so good for the photographer, she just giggled and smiled at him the whole time. What a ham :)
