Easter Bunny Success

This is a picture of the picture because we're in Midland and I forgot my memory card, but I had to post it! I was worried G would be scared of the bunny and it didn't help that this bunny was about as entertaining as a bump on a log, but he did great and Miss Ella was her sweet self as always! We had a wonderful visit while Jason was in Japan and I'll have more posts/pics to come. Happy Easter everyone!

Zoo Day

Jason took the day off today so we could all go to the zoo. He leaves for Japan next Friday so we want to soak up all the family time we can before he leaves. It was HOT and I'm pretty sure every elementary school in the Houston area was there on field trips, but we still had a great time. Griffin loved seeing all the animals, riding the carousel, and playing on the play ground. We had to bribe him with ice cream to get him back in the stroller to leave. Miss Ella was an angel and slept most of the time in the Baby Bjorn. We are loving our little family of four!

He loved playing the drums in the African exhibit

2 Months

The past two months have been full of fun times, new experiences, and tons of newborn snuggles. Ella has already grown and changed so much, and I'm already seeing her loose some of her brand new "babiness". Each time I feed, rock, snuzzle her fuzzy head, I'm reminded of how quickly these babies grow up and I'm really just trying to enjoy every moment. The day can get so crazy and busy, so the middle of the night feeding is some of the only quiet time I have to just snuggle my sweet girl. This makes getting up with her almost a treat :). Here are some things Ella is up to lately:
- Eating around 5 ounces every three hours during the day
- Stays awake about an hour and a half before needing a nap
- Is able to be put down awake and fall asleep on her own. Relying on the paci less and less and trying to find her hands
- Goes to bed around 7 pm, I wake her to feed her at 10 pm and she usually sleeps till around 3:30 and is up at 7 am
- Smiles and coos all the time, when she's awake, especially when Daddy gets home! I have a feeling we have a daddies girl on our hands already (which I LOVE)!
- Soothed very easily
- Hates getting her diaper changed
- Loves her bath but doesn't like getting out
- We've gone back to the gym and Ella has the ladies in the nursery wrapped around her little finger :). It's so nice to know she is WELL taken care of!
- She's still very easy to take around, running errands and joining brother on all his activities...she just goes with the flow
We love you so much Ella Kay! Stay little my sweet baby girl!
I'll leave you with some bath time pics of my little rolly polly.


This one is of Griffin at about the same age. I still see some similarities between these two, but Ella definitely has her own look :)


All done...nice and dry!
