Babies Everywhere!

Here are a couple pictures of Ella's friends from our Mommy and Me class. She spent most of the class today "talking" with her friend Henry - the boy to the right of Ella. So cute!

And here's Ella practicing "standing" on a beautiful - but hot - Saturday afternoon.

Ellavision - Jump Around

Ella is getting more interactive and smiling all the time now. She loves to "stand" and "jump." Here is one of her favorite activities.

(Our video camera records in HD, but for some reason the quality doesn't carry over when we upload it to the blog. We're still learning....hopefully it will get better).

Guess Who's 3 Months Old!

Yes, that's right - Ella had her 1/4 birthday yesterday. It was quite a day.

We went to baby yoga. Ella promptly fell asleep at the beginning of the class and happily woke up just as the class was ending.

Ella came home to play on her activity mat, and decided it was time for another nap.

Ella's Great Uncle Roger and Great Uncle Russ came to visit Ella. She wasn't so sure about being held by them....


This past weekend, we had another visitor - Meade! We all enjoyed a beautiful weekend down by the water in Alexandria.

Ella has discovered her hands. Who would have thought that the best toy ever is permanently attached to you?

Kicking and enjoying the sunshine.

Ellavision - Easter edition

The next installment of Ellavision for your viewing pleasure. Over Easter weekend Ella was able to spend time with her great grandparents and show off her Easter bonnet and booties. She had them at "coo."

Ella Egg-stravaganza

Ella enjoyed her first Easter! We celebrated at Aunt Farrell and Uncle David's house in Charlottesville. It was such a fun weekend - and Farrell is an amazing cook. We ate like kings all weekend!

Ella has become very alert, smiley and animated! She spent the whole weekend watching and "talking" to everyone.

Hangin' with the Boys

Ella has been having a great time hanging out with her grandparents and great-grandparents. And as you can see below - she has a lot of boys in her life!

Amazing to think - Ella has the genes of all four of these guys!

Yes, Mom continues to dress her in ridiculous outfits.

Lucky Girl

Ella is one lucky girl. She has some very very special visitors in town - her great-grandparents who came all the way from Wisconsin to see her. So this week, she has spent time with both her grandmothers and her great-grandparents. It is so amazing to see four generations together.

Hi Great-Grandma Evans!

Ellavision - Ella's first word

Ella has uttered her first word. She surprised us all by saying, "aaahhaaahhh". Very impressive, huh? We're not sure what language it is, but she is "talking" more and more every day. We haven't gotten a great video of it yet, but here is a recent snippet.
