Finicky to Froggy




Today was a gorgeous day. Ella and I went to visit Leah and to see how big Eli is getting. Ella was so well-behaved and had a good nap in her stroller as we walked the trails in Peachtree City. We took this picture of Ella and Eli at the end of the afternoon and sure enough, the second the camera comes out, Ella starts freaking out. Okay, okay, I'm not being fair to her...it was time for her to eat and we were tormenting her by trying to get her to pose with her boyfriend. The funny thing about the whole picture is Ella is usually so quiet and smiley and Eli is usually a little more fussy (though I don't really think so, he's just being a normal baby). As soon as we put him on the couch next to Ella, he was in his "happy place" as Leah says and was probably wondering who stuck him next to grumpy pants! Well, here's the picture and as you can see, someone isn't happy.

Tonight we took a bath and she loves the tub. I wash her hair under the tap and she is all smiles. Yup, definitely going to be a girlie girl...she loves getting her hair done already. I love these cute baby bath towels!

First Blog


I finally decided to get on and post. Amy has such a great way to reminisce and look back on all Nolan's day to day activities, that I decided to start blogging too.
I hope you all enjoy the photos and commentary. I think it's a great way to "experience" Ella growing up even though everyone is so far away.

Ella is down for the night, she's such a good baby! Every night at 8:30 she's fed and out for the next 5 hours. I only get up once with her for a feeding and it's right back to sleep. My only complaint (which isn't at all a complaint) is she is an early riser like her Daddy...up at 7am. I know I am very lucky with her schedule and her temperment. I took this picture today as we were talking...she loves her change table and will giggle up a storm when I change her outfits. Ooh, I hope this means she'll be a girlie girl and love dresses and bows and sugar and spice and all things nice! Though don't let her Daddy or uncles hear me say that...they'll have her out playing football as soon as she can walk!
