You win some...












Well, guess you can't win 'em all. Ella was all dressed up to cheer for Tech, too bad there wasn't much to cheer for. This was our best attempt to have her "get her guns up", she was not interested...
Some loyal Alumni friends stopped by to watch it with us, we had a good time...despite the loss.

Traveling light


Ella has been on the move! We have been getting out a lot and she loves it. We love to go out to eat and visit friends. She seems to be soaking up her surroundings and interacting more with us.
Had our 2 months check up last week. Ella is doing really great.

She weighs 12 pounds, 3 ounces already. The doc said she looks really healthy and is developing right on target. She is in the 85th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for head size Wonder where she gets that...thanks Dad :). I can't believe she's gained so much weight so quickly. She's already outgrown so many of her newborn clothes.

Ella has really developed a sweet personality. Calm and even tempered like her Daddy. She rarely fusses or gets upset. Most of the time she is laid back and happy. She has just started to sleep through most of the night, around 6-7 hours at a time. We are so lucky to get some rest now!

"Thanks for the lamb hat Nana, I love it"

Happy 2 month Birthday Ella!










Ella is 2 months old now! We celebrated with a cake, but she didn't get to try any herself. :(




Mom and Dad ate a piece for her.

It's a Little Chili














Ella visited Amarillo for the first time on Halloween. She was a chili pepper (not a tomato). She had a great time, although she slept through most of the fun. She also had her first plane ride, which went really well. Ella is such a good girl, never fussed at all! We had a great time visiting everyone. Enjoy the pics!

Ella is one month old!











Here r some recent pics of Ella at one month...sorry I'm a few days late posting.

Miss Ella is doing really good. She's slept through the night a few times already...we're hoping that becomes a habit! She is growing really fast and already weighs over 10 pounds. In the last week she has started to hold her head up on her own and look around more each day. She seems to recognize us now.

Ella's First Bath


























She didn't like it at first, but she was ok toward the end.
