Blessing day and more!

Can you tell we love our baby!? She's the pride and joy of our lives! Here are a few pix from the past week or so. Grandma Shirley Johnson has been visiting this past week and we've had a lot of fun! Ella really is growing so fast! She's around 12 or 13 lbs. now and is pretty close to being able to roll completely from tummy to back. Her head is really strong and she can hold it up for a little while by herself when we sit her on our lap! The last 2 nights she has been up all night! She loves to play, eat, mess her diaper and then do it all over again! She finally goes down around 6 or 7 am! What a funny girl! But at least she sleeps well in the day! Be sure to scroll down to the next post for a silly video too!

Blessing day! Ella looked so adoreable in her dress that Grandma Deslie beautifully embroidered! It's the dress her mom and Aunt Amy & Laurie Ann were blessed in as babies too! Ella slept through the blessing as she was up all night! She was a perfect angel while daddy blessed her and didn't mess on the dress or anything!


Ella is waking up after church. She gets a bit mad until she's able to open her eyes... but then she's so sweet! Such a good baby!

Ella and Grandma Shirley after the blessing today. The bracelet on her wrist is one Grandma Shirley had made just for her!

We're a very happy family here in Tally!

Just after a bath from Grandma!

Chubby legs and feet! And as typical... one sock is off!





Big yawn!

When Ella is awake, she never stops moving! In her baby blessing today, she was blessed that someday her energy will be channeled to serving others.


Ella and Grandma Shirley!

Oh how I wish I was there to hold her and snuggle with her!!! She is so sweet. I'm glad the blessing went well and that you've enjoyed Grandma's visit. And good luck with those all nighters. They can be rough!

What a cutie! I had no idea she was so big. These pictures really give me a good idea of how much she has gained. WTG Mommy and Ella in that department. Love ya.

Oh my goodness, I can't believe how big she is and how alert she is. She is certainly trying to tell you something. I am so glad to be able to see her on your blog. We love and miss you guys a ton. Give Miss Ella a hug from her Aunt Lynn.

She is so so cute! I am awaiting to show off my baby soon too. By the way, I made my blog open, so you should be able to have access, by not having to have me invite you ;0)

Ella is so cute and looks so much like Brent. I love the angry picture. She definitely has a personality. Sweet thing.
