TMI?
OK. This post, just like the one before it, probably falls under the heading of "too much information." However, it falls squarely within the "mission statement" of this blog so I don't feel too bad about posting it.
We thought we had a break through Saturday night, but that was followed by three more days of "inactivity" paired with a generally upset baby. So last night we resorted to, after consulting with Dr. Betsy's office, a suppository. The thing did it's magic in less than five minutes - pretty cool, all things considered.
Ellie seems to be in better spirits today, and I hope it's a more lasting solution to our little problem. Especially since Ellie has big plans for this weekend; but, that is for another post....

Backed up
Ellie has been trying different solids over the last few weeks... 
cereal, avocado, banana, sweet potato and now... prunes. It's not that we wanted to progress to prunes... we HAD to. In any event, as you can tell from the picture, they aren't her favorite. That's ok, I wouldn't eat them either if it weren't absolutely necessary. The good news: I think we can probably move on to another solid now.

We had to try
New parents, it seems, get bombarded with offers for this product or that service and so on and so forth. Not much of it, in my opinion, is tempting. However, one item in particular did arouse my curiosity - a photo session. I don't know why, but I just wanted to see how "professional" photos might differ from ours. So today we took Ellie to one of the local establishments for just such an experiment.
The place seemed nice enough. I especially liked that they had what appeared to be 42" screens for customers to view, and ultimately select, the photos they wanted. Our photographer seemed pleasant enough and competent; and, we really did get some nice photos of Ellie in a multitude of poses, backgrounds and outfits. But the devil, as they say, is in the details - in this case, it's the price. To get a decent number of poses printed is going to set you back an inordinate amount of money; especially once you consider that you may not even give out all of the photos, and the poses you don't select are lost forever.
Anyhow, EM and I left with the "el-cheapo" package along with the knowledge and confidence that we can - from time to time - take photos just as well as the pros; the only difference being their superior lighting. When you factor that in along with the cost savings of doing it yourself, it seems to be a no-brainer. I'm not saying we won't go this route again; but, it will be very seldom that we do. So, without further delay, here is the final result:
