New Things...for Ella anyway

We had a very eventful weekend. Here are a few pictures. This is Ella finally accepting some tummy time. She hates laying on her tummy (or on the floor for that matter). She is finally enjoying it for a few minutes each day which is liberating to say the least. (Please excuse Ella's cleavage=). We finally got her crib a few weeks ago. It was backordered for months. We are glad we waited for it because we love it!! Her dresser came in this weekend so we went to pick it up. Now all we are waiting on is her bedding!!! Her room is getting rather cute, I must say! Ella will still not take a bottle, no matter how diligent we are. We were told to go straight to the sippy cup if she won't take a bottle. Here is a picture of Ella actually enjoying her new cup! Grammie made Ella a quilt. It is so beautiful! She loves staring at the pictures on it. Here is Ella getting ready to eat in her high chair for the first time!

Solids

Ella started eating solids about 3 weeks ago. She loved the rice cereal and so her pediatrician said to start her on fruits. They have been a hit so far!

Happy Valentines Day!

Fun at the Park!

We took Ella to the park on Saturday...she loved it!! Ella can now sit up for quite a bit on her own. She falls over after about 10-15 seconds, but it's baby steps right? Here is ella in her lounge chair (or so she thinks) watching TV as usual! Yes this is a bird... I was feeding Ella on Saturday and a bird flew by my face. I screamed and scared Ella pretty good. It came out of the chimney and landed on our curtain rod. Then in its attempt to get out it flew into the bathroom...even though the front door was wide open. Brady had to trap himself in the bathroom and one handedly get the screen off the window so the bird could get out.

Sprint TV

So, don't judge us for this... We were at Del Taco today eating lunch. (As a side note, I think Ella is teething and has been really irritable). Ella didn't want to sit in her seat while we ate, so we pulled up some cartoons on my phone for her to watch. Then, we propped the phone up in front of her using a toy so that she could watch it while we got a chance to eat. We successfully ate and then got out of there quick before someone called child protective services on us. =)

Ella's First Christmas..

Well, as you can see Brady sure had a fun Christmas!! We were glad all he ended up with was a broken wrist. Ella got to meet two more great great grandparents! Rylan and Ella finally got to meet each other. They weren't so sure what to do... My good friend Brook had Rylan 6 days before Ella was born. It was fun to get to finally meet him! Look what Santa brought!! Grammie and Grandpa bought Ella her first teddy bear! Ella loved her puppy she got from us. She could even make it sing by touching it herself. She thought that was pretty cool! And the Christmas pajamas....so cute!!
