Ella is almost 2 months old!!

Who can believe it? She is growing up so fast!! At her Dr.'s appt she weighed 11 lbs 8 oz (75%) & was 22 3/4 in long (50-75%). She has started to give real smiles, rather than the "I'm just pooping smile." And when she shines one at you, it melts your heart & makes your whole day! The activity mat is her new fun hang out. When I put her on it, she turns into a little wiggle worm and oohs & aahs at all the hanging toys. She has started taking prevacid to help with her acid reflux & reduce the projectile spit ups, yeah! We are excited to say that we no longer play hot potato. (The game to see who's holding her when she decided to blow.) The kitties are starting to come around more but I still see Sophie & Sidney rolling their eyes when she starts to cry. I think they realize that she is here to stay. ;-) Otherwise things are great! Everyday is a surprise since you never know what new little trick she will learn!

Ella & Daddy for his birthday.

Ella laying on Daddy's chest after eating too much cookie cake, yum!

Look at me, so happy on the activity mat!

Yeah! Hannah Harrison was born on 9/15. Ella is so excited to meet her new friend.

Ella is already 1 month!!

Wow it's hard to believe that Ella Grace is 1 month old! I don't know if it's the sleep deprevation or if someone is pressing fast forward but time is really flying by. We went to her 1 month appt and all looked good. She is now 9 lbs 4 oz and growing! Here are some fun photos showing what's happened in the past weeks.

Ella with her boyfriend, Luke Mullvain. Daddy likes to call him, "Ella's Bodyguard" rather than "boyfriend."

Girls Dinner at my house to celebrate Erin's B-day!

1 out, 3 to come! Here's the most recent photo of all the college KD girls. Ella @ 2 1/2 weeks, Erin (Hannah coming mid Sept), Lisa (due late Oct), & Katie (due mid Dec). Ella will have so much fun with all her new friends!

Here we are at the Brown's celebrating Daddy's B-day! Ella wanted to make Daddy laugh for his birthday so she pooped, peed & spit up on Mommy all at the same time! Isn't she talented? Multi-tasking at such a young age. I consider this the night I was officially christianed into motherhood. ;-)

Bath Time! Since Ella is so advanced with her bodily functions we decided that it was time for a bath!

And finally the most recent photo's! These were taken today as Mommy pretends to be Anne Geddes.

Sorry that we have been behind in posting. Now that we have things somewhat in order with Ella, we will try to post more often.
