Ella 7 weeks

I took this video last week during Ella's favorite time of the day- anytime she gets her diaper changed.  She has started to move her arms and legs a lot more, and makes more noises too.

Ella's Baptism

Ella was baptized this past Sunday, January 9, 2011 at Desert Cross Lutheran Church in Tempe, Arizona. 

Ella wore the same dress that I wore when I was baptized.

Ella 1 month

Here are some pics of Ella at 1 month.  Getting so big!

Here is Ella at 2 weeks.

And finally Ella at 1 week.

Christmas 2010

I wanted to post about our first Christmas with Ella before I forget what we did.  It was pretty low key.  It was just Jake, Ella, and me at our house in Chandler.  We spent the morning doing our usual routine with Ella-feeding her and changing diapers-as well giving her a bath.  In the afternoon, we opened presents.  Ella had more presents than Jake and me combined.

She slept the entire time we opened gifts.  Ella got so many cute gifts from family. 

These pajamas are 12 months.  It's hard to believe that Ella will be that big in a year!

 

We had filet mignon for dinner and then took a walk in the 70 degree weather.  Doesn't Jake look cute pushing a stroller?

Some other pictures from our day:

New Year's Eve

Here is a video of Ella from New Year's Eve.  She is starting to be really awake after she eats and is happy laying on the floor and moving her arms and legs around.  She is almost 4 weeks old and has grown so much!  She is starting to outgrow all her newborn outfits already.
