The Jogger

Last weekend Jake and I began training for Bloomsday which is a huge 12k race in Spokane. We decided that we would walk it because we wanted to take Ella but in order to do that we needed a jogging stroller. So we found one, bought it and love it!! One of the best parts of about the weekend of Bloomsday is that Brandon, Laura, and Bennett will be coming to visit. We are so excited to see them!

First Teeth

Finally, Ella is cutting her first two teeth. You have to look really carefully in order to catch a glimpse but they are there. When she drinks out of a glass you can hear her teeth clinking on the rim. So cute. Since her teeth are erupting Ella has been a little on the fussy side. I guess some good has to come with the bad, right? As far as Ella's mobilty, she can now go from sitting to her tummy, and can pivit in any direction. Next step is the actual crawling.
There are lots of new pictures to be posted so enjoy.

This girl loves her shoes!!

Born to Cook

These days Ella's new favorite toys are from the kitchen. Everything from measuring spoons to whisks are hours of fun. Maybe that means she will love to cook just like me and Jake.

Jump-a-roo

More snow fell upon us Sunday. Our poor flowers are taking a beating.
Yesterday, we bought Ella a jumper since she loves to jump and stand. She hasn't quite experienced all it has to offer but I think as she gets more comfortable she will get a big kick out of it. Below are some cute pictures. Happy St. Patty's Day Everyone!

Here is Ella hanging out with Daddy

All Smiles

Ella has been all smiles the last couple of days which hopefully means she is feeling better. This morning we woke up to a nice surprise: SNOW!! We are ready for Spring to get here!

In sickness and in health

Here is what we have been up to in a nut shell. Ella is sporting some new hats from Great Grandma Caskey and she is battling her second ear infection in less than a month. Thankfully she is so cute and really has been a trooper throughout this entire thing.

Last week Ella had her overdue 6mo. wellness visit and she is getting bigger right before our eyes. She is growing out of 6mo clothes and into the 9m0s. She is starting to teeth and although there is no visible signs of any teeth she will chew on anything she can get her tiny little hands on. Ella isn't quite crawling yet but our cat Avery sure gives her motivation to move! Avery doesn't know what is about to come after her. As far as sleeping through the night, we still have some work to do in that department. So far it looks like Ella is setting the rules. I think after she recovers from her ear infection we will start working on it.
