Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! This year was our 4th time hosting turkey day. Everything went really smooth. We had all the trimmings plus Bo and Kevin made some delicious crab potstickers. We are already planning our meals for Christmas.

Holidays

Ella has graduated to a forward facing baby bjorn because her neck is so strong

Ella is drooling all over these days

Well, the holidays are quickly approaching us and I have barely begun Christmas shopping. This weekend Jake and I were busy getting ready for our guests to come for Thanksgiving, which is me and Jake's favorite holiday of them all. In Ella's world, she hasn't quite rolled over yet but she is definitely moving her legs a lot more. Her favorite thing to do first thing in the morning is to babble and coo, its very cute, even if it is at 5:45AM. We can hardly wait for Nana and Papa to see her.

NEW SLIDESHOW!!!

Check out the latest slideshow! We're waiting for Ella to roll over, it should be any day now.

Toys

Everyday Ella amazes me with what she can do. She has started holding toys in her hands and bringing them to her mouth. As you can see in these pictures she is sucking on a giraffe. She still have not found her thumb but we are making some progress with pacifier.

Back to Work

Ella wished me good luck on Tues. when I had to start work. Things went really well. However, I couldn't sleep the night before because I was so nervous that I was going to miss my alarm. And after a full day of work I was exhausted, I couldn't even make dinner. And for those of you who have not heard the news, I get to work 2 days a week and get to stay home the rest of the time with baby Ella. It's the perfect blend of work and family!

Happy Halloween

I know we are going to disappoint some of you but we did not dress Ella up in a costume for her first Halloween. Our reasonings were that it was kinda a waste of money and Jake and I don't even care for the holiday. Next year when Ella is up and walking around we will dress her up.
