Family Resemblance

I found some of our old baby pictures and was trying to figure out who Ella favors. I'm on the left and Chad's on the right. I think she looks pretty much like a 50-50 blend! 

Ella's New Jumper

Grandma C got Ella a new jumper and she's been loving it! She can touch the ground with her toes and when she bounces it plays music. And there are lots of little toys that she can grab and spin.

Sweet Potatoes

Ella tried sweet potatoes tonight and she really liked them! Much better than squash :)

Ella Says

Oh man, I think we will have a talker!

More Pool Time

We went to the pool again this weekend and got a video of Ella kicking in the water!

She's loving all the pool time!

Five Months!

Ella is five months today! I know I am going to be saying this all the time, but I can't believe how quickly she's growing up!

And here's a video of her testing out her vocals today :)

Squash? No thank you.

Ella tried squash today and was not a fan

Ella Rolling

During tummy time today I captured Ella rolling over! She's been doing it for awhile now but always stops when I bring the camera out.

And a few more tummy pics:

Sunday Pool Day

Today we took Ella over to my parents' house to hang out in the pool. She loved being in the water, and when we put her in she started practicing her kicks!

 

Ella and Gpa Ron

Grandpa Ron babysat for us last night while we went out to celebrate a friend's bday. He did a great job!

Ella Says

Today at work Ella was making lots of squeaky noises, she sounded like a little bird!

Ella at Work

Ella's been going to work with me on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (my mom has been so sweet and has been watching her on Mondays and Fridays!). She has gotten into a nice routine, we get there around 7:30, she plays for a bit and then naps around 8:30/9, up again for a little bit and then another nap by 11. I try to put her down for a nap every few hours, otherwise she gets fussy when she gets too tired. So we pretty much alternate with a nap, playtime and feedings until it's time to head home at 4.

Ella's Trip to Waco

This weekend we drove up to Waco to visit our friends Christina and Kyle who just bought a new house! Brooke and Dro drove up there too from Houston and it was so much fun seeing everyone and catching up. Ella did really well on the drive and loved hanging out with Christina and Brooke :)

Ella's First Solid Food

Today we gave Ella her first solid food! We gave her rice cereal mixed with breast milk and she ate a few tablespoons.
