Naptimes

Ever since Nana and Papa came to visit we have been working on Ella's sleeping habits. She has never been a good napper. So we are trying to teach her how to fall asleep on her own. In the long run this will make things easier on me and Jake. Right now the hardest part is hearing her cry or in her case whimper. Overall, things have gone well. One a side note we think she is cutting her first tooth- I saw it with my own eyes last night. I'm so proud!!

Thanks Great Grandma Caskey for knitting me hats! I love them!

What a good little napper.

Daddy loves to give Ella a bath with lots of bubbles!

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.
