 Ella's first trip to Olive Garden and Bailey's favorite place!

 "Why can't I have any pasta?"

 "I love my big cousin, Drake!"

 "Man, I'm bored!"

 "Lucy, don't kiss me. You are way too slobbery!"

 "I love bath time!"

 "I'm already a ballerina."

 Nap time with Dad. Our favorite part of the day!

Meet Ella!

 My dad and stepmom came right when they heard I was in labor.  I was so glad to have them here!

 This is a huge sheep that my dad found for Ella!
