Summer time!!!



We are so excited that summer time is here. Ella and I have been hanging out in the backyard. Ella loves to be outside. Although she is not so fond of the grass. I put a blanket down and set her on it and she still hated it. She cried, so I got her her little seat to sit in. She also enjoys it because we usually have a popsicle which she love ad I think it feels good on her gums. People think we are crazy to give her stuff so early, but I had it early on and hey what kid do you know doesn't like sugar. She also loves to hang out in just her diaper, which I think is really cute:) She has also been eating so, so so much better since her little teeth have come through. She love everything but green beans. Peas, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, fruit, she loves it all. She has been doing great with her bottle too, I think it was hurting her to eat so she just decided that it wasn't worth it. But all is well now.

Just hanging out!



Sorry about the quality of the pictures, they are from my phone. I couldn't find the camera so the camera phone had to do. So, since Ella can sit up now she likes to sit in the bath and play and splash in the water. It is really cute. Then I went in to check on her during her morning nap and her mouth was wide open and her hands behind her head. I got a good laugh out of it. Today wasn't the best day for Ella, she had to get her three month shots and was not a happy camper. It was a dramatic thing for her. She hasn't gained to much weight and it 16 ponds 8 ounces and 27 inches long. Also, her one tooth got a friend and now she has both of her bottom teeth. Everyone is doing well, Stewart is going crazy with school and finals coming up. Lots of projects do. Ella and I don't see him too much, but maybe one day he will be done with school. Oh, the last picture is us at Danielle's baby shower and Ella thinks she is a big girl and can drink from cups. She goes to town and shakes if you take it away from her. Maybe I should put her formula in a cup and let her drink it:) She would be in heaven.

6 months old!!!



This has been a busy weeks for Ella, and needless to say an exhausting one for her parents. We started off the week with Ella learning how to suck on her feet- she has played with them for a while but just learned that they are a great new chew toy. She also had a runny nose and a fever this week, so I thought she was just sick. So Wednesday night she was up at least 15 times- which she has never done. She loves her sleep. She also has been a huge grump- but this morning I felt her gums and yes that's right Ms. Ella has a tooth. So cute. It has cut through her gums and the pearly white is starting to show. She has also pretty much mastered the whole sitting up thing. She even shakes her toys around and is still able to sit up. I can't believe how much she is growing and learning.

Check out these toes!!!


So, I decided that it was time to paint Ella's toe nails. Let me just say, it was not the easiest thing. First she wanted to grab the bottle, second she is a wiggle worm, and third she is a wiggle worm:) So I ended up with polish all over my hands and we had to clean up her toes a bit. All in all it ended up well, and look how cute her little chubby toes look.

Hmmm, how'd she pull this off?


Ella is always learning new ways to suck on her binky.... I missed the whole white part in the mouth cause the delay on the camera. She is a crazy baby and has decided lately that she doesn't need to eat. That girl just doesn't care, she will sleep 12 hours at night and not want to eat in the morning. At least she is a good baby, or we would have to give her away:). Just kidding. She has discovered that she has feet, which is really funny. Also, and when she wakes up now instead of crying she just talks to herself. This morning Stewart thought it was a pigeon outside and then later when she was at my moms the same thing happened, she thought it was a bird outside. I think that Ella is trying to communicate with the birds :)
