Happy 2 Month Birthday Ella!

Happy 2 month birthday Ella!! I can't believe how big you've gotten! When I went to pick you up from your crib the other morning, you felt so big in my arms!! Love you baby bean!

At the end of her birthday, we put on the pink duck jammies and got into bed. She was so sleepy and slept 8 long hours without a peep!

Nighty night!

To celebrate Ella's birthday, we went to a photo shoot Uncle Deklynd was doing with Aunt Lyndsey. Ella's very first photo shoot! Daddy sent her off with a hug and kiss.

Once we got there, Uncle Michael wanted to show some love. He kept asking if she was pooping, and thankfully, this time she wasn't!

Aunt Lyndsey looking absolutely stunning and showing Ella how a natural model works the black carpet runway.

The beautiful model Aunt Lyndsey and Ella, who fell asleep for a bit. Check out the necklace...it's from Kendra Scott's wedding collection that's not out until fall. It's absolutely stunning and Mommy suuuure loves it...hint, hint!

The master behind our hair...Deklynd Channing. Posing with the model and future model Ella.

When we got home, Ella was in a great mood and all smiles. So we took some runway photos in her super cute Tiny Turtles outfit.

Check out her perfect little cinnamon roll belly button!! That's what the pediatrician and all the nurses call it. It really does look like the yummy treat.

She has the model look down...an intriguing little smirk that's not quite a smile.

I'm So Glamorous...

Well it's been a fun few days around here. Ella went on her first road trip to San Antonio to see our awesome cousins. And it's been warm and sunny so it's time to bust out all the cute spring duds.

But first, you know my girl is a Glamour Girl...

And she's a true Longhorn fan through and through...

So we went to see our San Antonio cousins and had so much fun! Ella was a sweet girl the whole time. She slept all the way down and woke up to eat at the restaurant while we all chatted. Then she got to meet her cousin Gabi!

Gabi just loves her new little cousin!

Gabi thought Ella's little feet were just too cute...

And had to give em a kiss!!

After lunch we went to a fabric store to find Sassy some yummy things. Ella had fun looking at all the colors and feeling all the fabrics. It was so nice to wear fun spring clothes!! So many outfits...so little time!

Happy stretch!

And a sleepy little angel

Our First Sleepover!

Ella got to have her first sleepover at Sassy and Poppy's house Saturday night. I was worried that she would keep Sassy up all night but she woke up every four hours, ate and went back to sleep. Not as awesome as she does at home, but not too bad for her first night away. She was so excited she did her hair for the evening. She figured a winged look was appropriate!

Mommy forgot to bring Sweet Pea's brush to Sassy and Poppy's so they just finger combed her hair after her bath. Well, when we picked her up Sunday morning, her hair was at an all time high. It kinda looked like a baby mullet because the sides are getting so long, they cover her ears.

But she was a happy girl.

She just couldn't stop smiling and kept following the camera with her eyes. I kept trying to get a picture of the hair on the side of her head, but every time I would move the camera, she would turn her head to look at it! Such a big girl!!

But finally, it was time for a nap. All the fun at Sassy and Poppy's wore our little princess out.

We finally found a swing that fits Ella's discerning taste. Apparently she doesn't like to swing back and forth, she prefers side to side. Her new swing is awesome! It plays all kinds of music and soothing sounds, swings two ways, vibrates, plugs into the wall and you can even hook an ipod into it!! The infant support is teddy bear ears and when I first put her in it, she looked so funny with the ears sticking up over her hair.

Finally, today we decided to play around with Boo Radley. Boo was very nervous because she knows she is not allowed in the nursery and could not figure out what kind of evil trick I was playing on her by putting her on the chair. This picture reminds me of the scene in ET with all the dolls...Can you find Ella and Boo??

And we decided to try on some Baby Legs and a flower hat...just for giggles.

The Many Faces Of Ella

Ella woke up in a great mood this morning and was all smiles. So we decided to play a little dress up, try out a new bow. She has always made faces. Even in ultrasound pictures she was making raspberries. But this one may be the funniest yet. We'll start with the cute ones!

And now, the funny one...

She wasn't crying, just breakin out into a big ol smile!

While I was cleaning up the mess from our 'pretend your baby is a Barbie Doll session', I put Ella on her Boppy for some tummy time. Well our little girl is very strong. If she is awake, she is trying to stand up and push off you with her legs. She is so ready to say 'Peace Out Yo' and walk out the door to head to the mall.

Here is what happened in pictures. Keep in mind, I did not help in any way here, it was all the Sweet Pea.

Oh look, I'm on my tummy!





Hey, I can hold my head up!!

Wait, I think I can get off this thing and head for the fridge and grab a bottle to go...

Yep, yep...just a little bit further...

Yessss!!! I've got my head out...c'mon butt..get in gear!!

Way to go pumpkin butt!

And done. Which way to la cocina??

Look at my Hair!

Daddy stayed with Ella while Mommy went out and had some drinks (Yayyy!!). When I got home, he showed me the fro on our baby girl. I love the look on her face, it's like, Yeah...I know...you only wish yours looked this good.

Ella wore one of the outfits Tia got her that let the world know how much her Poppy loves his peanut.

First, the sorta smile...

Then, the Huh? Did you just call me the cutest girl ever??

And last...Oh yeah you did!! I AM the cutest girl ever!!
