one of the many fabulous gifts given to us at our baby shower was the fisher-price perfectly pink musical fairyland gym (thank you, auntie loretta!)

on the rare occasion that ellie is awake and calm, it’s the perfect activity mat for her to hang out on. the coolest thing about it is that her kicking controls the music! … not that she has any control over her legs yet, but it’s pretty cute to watch. we’re sure she’ll like it more and more as her vision improves and her hand-eye coordination kicks in.

we’re still waiting on that first “social smile,” but we have a feeling it’s coming soon! until then, here’s a little glimpse of ellie looking … the happiest we’ve ever seen her look, really … ;)
