Ella's BIG week

It's been big week for Ella! She rolled over on Wednesday for the first time! She had been very close for quite a long time but finally decided it's not so hard! Now she is doing it all the time!

Here are a few pictures I wanted to share... YES mom painted those cute little toes.... they are just adorable in her little sandals! :)

The sleeping picture is from a day bumming with Dad! He loves her pink camo hat that Nicole Jones and Pat Reeve autographed but as you can tell it's still a little big yet....

The picture below is from just this Wednesday! She not only learned how to roll over that day she also learned how to blow bubbles too!! That is her new favorite thing to do. I will try and get the video uploaded for you to see. It's adorable. I think she is getting a tooth and she is drooling constantly so when she blows...oh boy! She gets everyone wet!! :) And it makes such cool noises keeps her entertained for hours.

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day! Daddy and Ella took me to the Zoo!! I LOVE THE ZOO!! This is a picture of Ella enjoying her day. She got to wear her fishing hat and shades because it was quite sunny out! It wasn't all to much for her, she really enjoyed watching the grizzly bears and the monkey's! Other then that though....she was like "whatever" :) Mom and Dad sure enjoyed it though.

I was very thankful to be a Mom yesterday, I reflected on our struggles and how long it took for our dream to become parents to come true and then I reflected on all the people I have talked to and helped council even in the short time I have been a Mom! This was all meant to be. I truly believe I am meant to help other women become Mothers and be there for them. Teach people about adoption and also just help others see that we are all just people regardless of what we look like or where we came from! Inside we are all the same!

I can't imagine my life without Ella. She was definitely meant to be part of our family. She has made such an impact on not only Mom and Dad in her short 4 months with us but our entire Family and circle of friends. She is one truly amazing kid!

Pictures...."as requested!"

Okay It's been a month since you saw any new pictures of Ella! Here we go!! This is a picture of Ella in her bumbo chair from Sat. Behind her is our "new" chalkboard wall. The nephews were down and had a fun time doodling on it as you can tell!!
Here was a close up by the wall! I am not sure what she was looking at!

This face is so FUNNY!! Whatcha lookin' at??

Sunday it was cold but still nice and sunny out so the whole family bundled up and headed out on the deck to grill supper! This was Ella's get up!

Here is a closer view of my little super star!!

Ella is still sleeping very well! I put her down awake every night and each morning and she puts herself right back to sleep! Ah that is so nice. It was hard getting there I thought we never would but now that we are here! Oh sweetness. I can get so much more done before I go to bed now because I am not holding her until she falls asleep, and not going back in her room every 5-10 minutes to put her back to sleep!

We bought Ella a life jacket and if it gets warm enough this weekend she might take her first boat trip! : ) We want to see if the Crappies are biting!
