Friday we went to the pool with Ms. Stephanie. Ella had a great time. There were some boys that were pretty rowdy so we didn't get in or splash our feet or anything but she still enjoyed soaking up the AZ sun.


Katie and Jimmy's exciting adventures with Baby Ella!
Friday we went to the pool with Ms. Stephanie. Ella had a great time. There were some boys that were pretty rowdy so we didn't get in or splash our feet or anything but she still enjoyed soaking up the AZ sun.
Now that Ella is gaining more strength and head control, etc. she can do more things like rolling over, bouncing in her Jenny Jump Up and sit more comfortably in her Bumbo seat. All of those things are fun! One not so pleasant new addition is the SLOBBER! This girl slobbers like she's thinking about a sweet tart all day and puts just about anything and everything she can get her hands on in her mouth. Thankfully, I have been able to limit those things to appropriate teething toys, etc. but I have to keep an eye on her! She really enjoys shoving the dragon fly wings in this pic in her mouth. We also keep a bib on her a lot so she doesn't soak her shirts so much with all of that slobber. It is quite messy. I am so not looking forward to this teething phase!
Sucking on her dragon fly friend.
Sitting up like a big girl (with the help of her good friend Ms. Bumbo).
Free at last! She loves the freedom of standing, bouncing and swaying in her Jenny Jump Up!
She slept on the way to the dr.'s office. This was her face when she woke up in the waiting room. "We are where!?!"
Ella was invited to her friend Charlianna's first birthday party. Charli's party was great and she was so cute dressed in a little purple tutu and a crown. Ella had a nice time visiting there with her friend Carson too!
Okay, okay...I know. We should probably have Ella in her crib sleeping at night by now. She still sleeps in the bassinet in our room. In our defense, she sleeps all night long and is not a bother! I LOVE having her next to me and can't imagine when I'll be ready to have her in her room...far far away. Come on, look at that face. That is what I get to wake up to each morning. LOVE IT! I think our Riley dog also enjoys the view! :0)
It is funny to think that this is the same baby that 2 months ago absolutely LOATHED tummy time. She shows off a bunch now.
