baby ellie

last friday, i spent some time with one of my dearest friends, rachel... we hadn't seen each other since the summer, when i took pictures of her family while she was still pregnant, but it was like no time had gone by at all (don't you just love those types of friendships?)... 

she also brought along her brand new baby girl, ellie - my goodness, what a special treat that was... she slept most of the time, but we nuzzled and cuddled and loved on her anyway... and it didn't bother her a bit.
