The Hennigan Tribe

We should have bought stock in Tylenol and Motrin when Ellie was born, because this girl is a sad little monkey when she is teething. She has been congested and teething again lately and sometimes Tylenol or Motrin just don't cut it.

We've given her cold breast milk in a sippy cup and that helps sometimes. Lately, I stumbled across some popsicle making supplies at our grocery store. I decided to try them out on Ellie Belle today.


I used the V8 Fusion Pop Mold. Each popsicle mold holds about 3 ounces and looks like this out of the freezer.


Step One: Find grumpy baby


Step Two: Let Grumpy investigate popsicle


Step Three: Allow Grumpy to gum cold popsicle


Step Four: Enjoy the rest of your day with a happier baby!

"Mama! Mama! You have a black box on your face. Don't worry, I'll get it for you!"

Ellie turns eight months old today. It's a big milestone for us. I've had pets that I haven't been able to keep alive that long!


Crystal Bell of Gilded Sun Photography is the sweetheart who took photos of Ellie's birth and her newborn photos. I was super excited when I found out she was offering mini sessions in September. I really wanted her to take family photos of us so that we would have a few flattering photos with all of us together.
