Magnetic Fun

Ella is getting so big! 29 inches tall and 20 pounds, 4 ounces. She is very curious about everything and loves to find the tiniest particles to put on her fingers. That means we need to mop and vacuum more!

Ella has four teeth. Her middle front on the top and the bottom. She makes some very goofy smiles.

We got her some numbers for the fridge. She LOVES playing with them.

Second Cousins and Pigtails

Stephanie's cousin Erin lives in Lexington and was coming through for vacation. Erin, Lane, and their son Zander, came for brunch. Zander was born on February 26th, so it was fun to see Ella with someone so close to her age. They had fun playing. Zander is very handsome and is cruising. Ella, on the other hand, will roll to where she wants to go and maybe army crawl when she is really desperate for a toy. Mom crawls all around and "teases" Ella, but not interested.

Here are some pictures of her and Zander playing...







Ella also has experienced her first double ear infection. She has been remarkably calm about it. Ed stayed home the morning Friday and Stephanie came home after she taught her Beginning Programming so Ed could go to work. Lots of sleep. Now the question is do we try to go anywhere or give it another day...


Hope you enjoyed!

One more Christmas

This traveling really makes me tired...

Christmas Season

Well, it's almost officially over at our house. The decorations are down, the tree is undressed (notice, not put away).

We had a great time in Iowa although Ella was sick the week before we left, then mom got sick there. But, it was an AWESOME time even though it was SEVEN BELOW without the wind chill the first few days. Of course we followed that up with about EIGHT INCHES of snow to warm things up. Then we fly home when it is FIFTY and raining. Crazy weather...

Anyhow, here are some pictures and so sorry for the delay.

Is he not handsome?


Grandma...Mommy said you always leave wrapping to her. Even her own presents? Come on Grams, get with it!


We are a good looking bunch!


Grandpa, you gonna make that clock make noise again? I like the bird thing that comes out of it...


Oh, guys, these are the BEST! I like sitting at the table!
