15 weeks old!

Ella turned 15 weeks old on Friday and actually rolled over for the first time too (video below)!! My second week back to work was good - I'm definitely back in the swing of things...Grandmom Joanie watched her on Monday and they went for a walk and got the dog's licenses. Then she hung out with Aunt Meta and Uncle Lance Tues-Thurs and even got to see Great Grandmom and Pop Pop and cousin Samantha on Tuesday too! Then on Friday she hung out with Aunt Madeline and cousins Robby, Christa and Brielle. For my birthday, Ella gave me her footprint! :) Ella got to see Aunt Steph, Uncle Don, cousin Donny and Uncle Jay who came up to Jersey to visit for the weekend too! Since we didn't get to see them at Christmas, we celebrated our Christmas with them this weekend and cousin Lance finally decided to hold Ella! :) Hope everyone is well and you enjoy the pictures and videos!!

Love Vickie, Mike and Ella















Ella's first time rolling over (1.15.10):


Some tummy time for Ella:

3 months old and I'm back at work...

Well, January 4 was my first day back to work...Leaving Ella for a full day was difficult, but I think by trying it out the week before really helped. She spends Monday-Thursday with Great Aunt Meta and Uncle Lance and then Friday's with Great Aunt Madeline and cousin Robby. Ella seems to be adjusting well and I made it through my first week back without crying and without being completely exhausted...We'll see how week 2 goes!

Ella is getting bigger every day, although I'm sure everyone who sees her probably thinks she's still so tiny! :) She loves sitting in her bumbo seat and playing in her jungle (as you'll see below)...Oh and she loves playing with her little doll I call Lilly (don't know why I chose that name)...She sleeps through the night (from about 8:30 - 5am when I wake her up) although she will sometimes wake up around 3am and talk in her crib but then she'll just fall back asleep. She loves sucking on all of her fingers (mainly the ones on her left hand, so I wouldn't be surprised if she turns out to be a lefty)! She also loves watching the TV and meeting new people.

I will try to update the blog every week (it's hard to do during the week now that I'm back at work), so keep checking back for updates! Hope everyone is doing well and hope to see you soon! Enjoy the photos and videos!

Love,
Vickie, Mike and Ella

Ella's 3 Months Old!!!!

Ella turned 3 months old on January 2! I can't believe how quick 3 months went and how big she's getting!!! After only getting about 5 hours of sleep the night before thanks to the deer that hit my car that Jason was driving, we went to lunch with Great Uncle Gordon and then later that night we went to dinner with Jen and Danny!

New Years Eve and Day

Pictures from Ella's first New Year's Eve and New Year's Day! She wanted to wait up until 2010, so she fussed until 12:05am January 1...Thanks Ella! :) (13 weeks old)

12.5 weeks old

We went out to lunch with Great Grandmom and Pop Pop, Great Great Aunt Betty and cousin Patty (pictured below), Great Aunt Meta and Uncle Lance and Great Uncle Gordon...Then Jason flew up that night so we got some pictures with him and Ella.
