Chritmas Has Arrived!!!!

Ella woke up like every other morning not really realizing what a morning it will be. I had butterflies in my tummy and could wait to see her reaction. We had both the video camera and the regular camera. The day was a blur but I will say having my family and my beautiful baby girl around me helped me to enjoy the day the best I could. I know that tat is what Mom Mom would have wanted.

First Day of "School"

Well I call it school but it is daycare. This morning I was all tears when I dropped her off but she was fine, even smiled for me as I was leaving! I must say, i am glad that I got job but working outside the home stinks. On a brighter note, Ella is getting her first tooth!!!! When I got home today I looked in her mouth and could see a little white. Bring on the steak!

Ella's 2/3 year's old!

Baby Ella is 8 months old. Her main form of transportation is rolling. She will roll from one side of the room to the other. I was hoping for a tooth but alas no tooth. She is drooling and chewing on anything she can get her hands on including mom's hair. Her favorite food is mango, if I would let her she would lick the carton. This month we have spent a lot of time with family. We saw Gam for Christmas, Cousins Cindy, Scott, Cole and Reese came up from Texas, Grandma and Grandpa and of course we spent time with Pop pop, Aunt Sue, Uncle Dave, Grace and John. It is so much fun to see Grace, John and Ella playing. I can't believe Sue and I are old enough to have children!! wink wink!

My Little Snow Angel

The snow finally fell and Ella got to see her first real snow fall. Earlier this month it snowed for a "hot" second but I don't count that. This snow fall was around 4 inches and Ella wasn't real sure about what it was. Greg and I got her dressed up, grabbed both the camera and video camera, bumbo and we headed outside.

The Great Sleepover of 09

Last month, I am late with this I know, Ella's cousin John came over or a sleepover. They was so much fun. At first I was thinking of having them sleep together in the crib, cute idea yes, but not if we wanted sleep. I kept remembering all the times my cousin Cindy, would come and spend the night and my mom saying at different times during the night, please go to sleep!!! Now the circle is complete.

Happy Turkey Day

Football watching while munching on my keys :)

Darn no having teeth for the turkey!

The far away look after a bottle and carrots, who needs turkey!

My Dad, Pop pop, Ella ad I went to a family Thanksgiving dinner at JD;'s and Becky's new townhouse. It is a beautiful townhouse and boy was I happy when Ella ate her dinner and didn't spray the carrots. She sat with some of the men and watched football, even though her favorite team wasn't on, and then when dinner was ready entertained our table with a game of throwing things on the floor and having everyone get them for her. All in all I would say it was a pretty good Thanksgiving. mom mom you were thought of lots!!!

Happy 7 Month Birthday!

I love to get my picture taken!

Why is this camera always in my face!

Last one, you promise?

Ella is 7 months! She is eating veggies and fruits, is no longer swaddled at night and can sit up on her own. I think she is trying to cut the cord :(
