Just Because...

Here are some more images of Ella...just because :)

First Mother's Day

The calendar says it spring, but the weather can't decide between summer hot, winter cold, and constant showers. Luckily on Erin's First Mother's Day the sun came out and made it the best day yet.

Ella was excited to get the day started

Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Well, it was a rainy, dreary weekend, but I still had fun hanging out with Mom and Dad. My new favorite things are ceiling fans (I'm completely mesmerized), practicing consonants, and watching Emma.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

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."
