Happy three weeks Ella

Ella in all her glory! This baby loves laying in her grandpa's chair with nothing on but a diaper!

Ella in her duck outfit!

Baby bonding time!

I could hold this sweet little thing all day and night..She seems to think that's a great idea! (please note the little monkey is wearing her favorite outfit!)

This is her Thanksgiving outfit! Thanks Christy for this cute Turkey shirt it is SO cute and has been a big hit!

Trip to Logan

Lora and I have always loved to visit family in Logan. Lora's Grandma and Grandpa James are the best hosts and spoil us rotten. Grandma made us this great taco soup and Grandpa gave us lots of great advice. They just got back from their mission to Wyoming and had lots of stories to share. We were so glad that we got to spend this time with them and that they could see Ella.

Grandma James was so happy to see her Great-Granddaughter

Grandpa James is great with kids, but as the picture shows, he's not quite sure what to do with babies. But he's a great-grandpa, in all of the senses of the the word.We were all pretty tuckered out. But Elleah had a blast up there in Logan!

Ella goes to the Doctor

Happy Two weeks Ella! We took Ella into the Dr for her two week check up and things couldn't be better! The Dr was extremely impressed with how well she is growing, her great color, and her wonderful temperament. She gained one whole pound and grew half and inch, and her head measured in at 14 inches round. She is in the 19% for weight 31% for height and 40% for head size (we got a little chuckle out of that one) she is really healthy and growing great. She had her 2nd PKU test and didn't even cry too much! We also had her photos taken today by a professional photographer so hopefully we'll have them back and announcements made really soon! Probably sometime next week!

The million faces of Elleah

At only 12 days old Ella is so expressive. If you hold this little girl for 5 minutes you will see a plethora of faces ranging from her adorable "mad" face to her sweet little smile!

Her sleeping face

Her happy dreams face

Her mad face

Her I'm so funny face

Her look how chubby I am getting pose!
(I laughed for about 10 min. when she pulled this one)

Her I'm the cutest baby in the whole world face

I put her on the floor to take some photos and she instantly started posing! She held her hand in the funniest ways it was like she knew I was taking her picture!

Growing up baby!

So I have to apologize for not posting sooner, we have been so busy and have had lots of computer/camera problems, but things are working great and I think everyone will agree it was worth the wait!

Ella has decided the best way to live in this life is the same way she came into it..NUDE!!

She sleeps so great if we have her wrapped in a blanket and just a diaper on!

When Ella is awake she really is awake! Everyone comments on her beautiful bright eyes!

She finally fit into her coming home outfit. It still slips off too easily for a good fit, but we can really see difference from the first time we attempted to get her in it!

Elleah's First Bath

We thought you would enjoy this

Celebrating 5 days in a 5-star resort

Lora and I had planned on staying Park City for our anniversary this weekend, but Elleah had other plans for us. All the same, since everything was already paid for and there was no sense in wasting our reservation, we decided to take her up there. It was great. Elleah especially liked sleeping in the king-size bed; fitting, we thought, for the princess that she is.
