Ellavision

I finally found the time to figure out the new video camera, so here is the first installment of Ellavision . . .

Over the River and Through the Woods

Yesterday Ella made her first big trip away from home and went to Grammy Jaskot's house and saw both her grandmothers. Her expressions and noises have been getting more varied, which made the grandmothers very excited. She also went on her first walk in her stroller (though it was a short one as it was quite chilly). As usual, Ella slept through the whole walk.

Let me think about that and get back to you

I'm not so sure about this outside the womb living

Due date is a snow date

Today was Ella's due date, but luckily she came early as today the DC area was a mess with a few inches of snow and ice. Ella went out to play in her first snow storm, but as usual she slept through most of it.

Emma enjoyed the snow as well

With all of the cold weather, Ella put on her bear suit to stay warm

Home from the hospital

Time to head home!

They dressed me up in this ridiculous outfit. I look like an angry gingerbread man.

I wore my special "it's a girl" booties!

I love my daddy.

Emma meets Ella! Welcome home!

Emma checking out Ella. Emma keeps looking at us like - um - is this thing really here to stay?

Emma frequently checks to make sure Ella is okay. She hasn't actually climbed in the bassinet...yet.

Day 2 in the hospital

We had a private room for our stay in the hospital, which was great for resting and dad was allowed to stay and help out as well!
