3 Months - Month In Review

It has been a month since I have posted and a lot has happened! Ella has been doing new things everyday and is still of course just as wonderful as always. I am going to do a quick catch up in a "Month In Review" posting for her 3rd month.

Ella loves to go on walks either in a carrier or in the stroller. She goes with grandma most days and talks to the birds and talks to grandma throughout the walk. This picture is of a walk she took with mommy. It was kind of chilly out so it was a short one but it is always nice to get out of the house!

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!

This "before" and "after" really cracks me up. As she is getting older, we are getting out some new toys for her. The picture on the top is Ella's first time in the saucer that her Great Grandma Ruby got her. She really didn't know what to think about the dragon fly in front of her. The picture on the bottom is a few times later. She is enjoying it more but her arms aren't quite long enough to reach all of the toys...especially that darn dragon fly she wants to grab. If only her arms were as long as her legs she'd get it!

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)

I mentioned that Ella would be happy if her arms were as long as her legs. Here are a few pics to show you just how long her legs are! One of them in there is just of her face but it is too darn cute to not include. She loves standing on her legs now too (with support of course). She gets so proud of herself and smiles and squeals with delight as she shows off her strong, long legs. The pictures of her sleeping in her boppy seat are just so funny to me...she's all scrunched up but somehow still looks so comfy. The one with her little foot poking out of the blanket is one of my favs.

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.
