Milestones @ 4 months

• Ella loves to smile and even giggle.
• She is always "singing" it pretty much is a scream but happy.
• Ella loves to kick in the tub and splash herself in the face! Also in the bathtub she likes to wiggle until her ears are under the water and she coos and hums; my guess is it probably sounds pretty funny to hear herself underwater!
• She loves sleeping with Eeyore.
• Ella has to lick everything. I think she's part dog! She licks your shirt while you hold her, blankets, her carseat cover ... whatever she can reach with her tongue.

 "What a good cousin! I love Drake!"

 "Yay, I get to eat some real food, rice cereal!"

First time in the high chair and first time getting to eat something other than a "ba-ba". March 24, 2011

 Wow, what a clean eater. She wasn't getting the swallowing part!

 Overall- it was a success!

 Watching a movie and laying on the Love Sac at Grandma Dee's house!

 "My cousin Easton will always protect me!"

 Sleeping with Eeyore

Milestones @ 3 months

• Ella loves sucking on her fingers and even her whole fist!
• This month Ella started showing big gummy smiles. She's such a cheeser!
• Ella discovered her toes and loves to grab them.
• I think she likes the color red. Whenever it comes up on her Baby Einstein video she kicks and screams with excitement.

Cutest slippers ever!

"Look at me ... 

I can sit in my Bumbo!"

I finally caught a smile with my camera. 

Ella loves her baths.

Prettiest blue eyes in the world!

"I love my swing."

"While everyone is making gingerbread houses and eating candy I only get to have my formula (yuck) but at least I'm with my Grandma Debbie!"

The famous "O" face.
