Ella's 1st year!

Happy Birthday, Ella!






Well, the day is here! Ella is one! It is a bittersweet day....we "survived" the first year of parenthood and I think we have done pretty well! :) Ella is thriving-a happy and healthy girl, what else could we ask for? One year ago today at this time, we had a six-hour old baby. We (I) survived a 31- hour long labor and became parents to one adorable baby. We are so in love with our little girl and we can't wait to see what the next year brings!


At 1 year Ella can:


-Crawl like a crazy baby at lightning fast speed

-Clap her hands

-Wave bye-bye

-Use sign language for "more" and "all done"

-Stand up unassisted

-Drink on her own from a sippy cup

-Say "Dada" for Daddy and "Ga" for dog

-Barks like a dog when we ask her what the doggie says

-Eat cheerios on her own (her favorite food)

-Sleep through the night-7pm-6 am (most of the time)


She weighs 23 lbs. 7 oz. and is 30.5 inches.

At birth she weighed 7lbs. 2 oz and was 21 inches.


Here are a few pics from the last year....party pictures to follow soon!

On the move!

Should we be afraid of what our future holds...in 15 years?!
