BAHHHH AND THE TEETHING BEGINS!!!!

Ella is 8 days away from her 4 month birthday and I really think she's cutting teeth. She pulls on her ears, drools like it's her job, chews on her whole fist and last night she didn't sleep well at all (which is SO not like her). I will post when her first tooth actually cuts through!!

Recent pics are below.

Ella enjoying tummy time!

In her big girl stroller. She is obviously still way too small! She's great at sitting up in it!

Outer Banks Family Vacation!

OUR NAGS HEAD VACATION!!!

Standing out on the Pier on our Last Day

We had a wonderful time on our vacation even if it did rain the WHOLE time (well except the first and last day). It was nice being able to spend a whole week with Brian and him being off work. Ella did a great job. Her sleeping habits remained the same. She went to sleep around 7:30 and usually woke up around then also.

A quick smile!

Rolling on her side! She just turned 3 months on the trip!

Always enjoys being held by her daddy!

Her and her Papa.

Her and Grandaddy!

She was so happy on this day!

Let's just say that I couldn't be ANY prouder.

Happy 12 Weeks Baby Girl!!

Our little Diva with her sunglasses!!

Chillin with Pepper!

First time meeting her cousin, Jasmine! She was very content :)

Patterson side cousins.

She's gonna love Hawaii just like her mom and dad!

Okay, so bow making is an obsession :) This is at her Uncle Tim's house on 8/28/09.

Sarah and Ella are playmates almost every Friday!

Posing!

Still happy eventhough she just spit up all over her outfit. I wanted to get a picture before I changed her clothes!

Trying to enjoy tummy time.

Changed her into a puma girl! Thanks, Denise!

Asleep on mommy's legs!

So, I think Ella is the PERFECT baby, but who wouldn't think their own is perfect! She is an awesome sleeper (12 hours at night) and is so happy. She is such a joy to always be around. It makes my day when I go in her room in the morning and she is so happy and smiling. I guess we all wish we could be that happy in the morning. We are trying to get her on more of a schedule during the day. She is now up to 5 ounces per feeding. She also went to the doctor last week and weighed 10lbs 2 oz. She's getting so big!

Ella's first time at Church!

These are just some of the pictures that we took of Ella's first time at church. She did really well! She slept through all of the music, but stayed awake during the sermon. After church, we went and checked out the nursery. It looked really nice. I'm not too sure if I'm ready to leave her yet.

These were taken on August 9th!

Happy 2 Months to our Baby Girl!!

HAPPY TWO MONTHS ELLA!!!

Oh what an exciting two months it has been! Brian and I have been so blessed. I was telling him last night that at this rate, we might be having 10 kids. Ella is such a joy. She is starting to sort of get a schedule as far as sleeping and eating. I'm trying to work on her getting to bed earlier (I'm afraid she'll get up a lot earlier). As you can see, she's really growing. Sometimes it makes me sad that she's getting so big. It seems that each little stage is so great. Her smiles just make you melt!

Her bouncy seat is her favorite thing. She loves watching the bubbles and kicking the fish and sea horse.

I know I keep posting this, but her eyes are still blue!!!! As much as she looks like Brian, she might keep my eyes :)

I just couldn't get enough of her happiness. These were taken on 8/7/09. She wouldn't stop smiling. I have about 100 more!

Okay, so Brian thought I was crazy for putting her in this seat so early, but look at her! She did great. Just shy of two months and sitting up with support!

Ella and Mason :) He really takes care of her. Sometimes he'll just stay where she is sleeping and Brian and I might be elsewhere in the house. He's her protector, at least until she's big enough to pull his ears and chase him around the house.

I love this picture because it looks like she's just chillin and blowing bubbles.

I'm sure she's looking at Daddy. The other night at his softball game he came over and she gave him the biggest smile.

So peaceful.

Ella's 7th and 8th week!

Our Baby Girl is Getting so Big!

I don't think there could be anything else in this world that could bring me more joy! She has recently developed some personality with smiling a lot and I guess you would call it cooing. She is so sweet and really knows how to melt your heart. She is still sleeping really well!

Before Riley's 1st Birthday Party! She's all ready to meet the boys!

At the party, sleeping in Riley's swing!

A quick pose with daddy!

Another picture with all of her flowers!

Hanging out with mommy :)
