Cereal Anyone?

Trying out my new highchair

I think she needs to get a little bigger before she can use the highchair, but she sure does look cute peeking over the tray.

Grandpa's Birthday!!

Go Pack Go!!!

I think I'm in trouble. It looks like Sundays in our house are going to be Dad and Ella's football watching time. Lucky me!!!

Tummy Time the 2nd!!!

Ella has changed so much. She now doesn't mind tummy time. She is starting to try to push herself forward with her feet. It's amazing how quickly these little ones change. We love every second of it!!!

Bundled Up

This was such a cute picture, I couldn't resist. I think we were getting ready to go to the dog park. Don't worry, we had layers and layers on her and we didn't stay very long.

More Christmas Pictures

Ready for Christmas Eve service with Auntie Mimi. I was so good through the service. I barely made a peep.
Christmas smooch from Lily.
Ella was spoiled by her Auntie Mimi. She's going to be the best dressed munchkin in Prairie Village!!
Grandpa went out on his own and bought Ella her very first Tickle Me Elmo. Ella absolutely loved it. She couldn't stop staring at her new toy. I think Grandpa is going to spoil her!!!

Ella loved her first Christmas in WI.

Christmas in Wisconsin

I love Grandpa Moulis' trains, I can't wait to get bigger so we can play with them together!!!
Lily works so hard. We'd had a LONG drive to WI, ten hours in the fog. We were so thankful to finally arrive at my parents.
Snuggle time with Grandma.
One of our favorite spots to sleep, Grandpa's shoulder!!! Grandpa just hates it, can't you tell!!!
I can't wait for my first Christmas!!! I've been such a good girl, all two months of my life!!!

Trying to get back on track!!!

Let me just first start off by saying I am so sorry it has taken us so long to get back to posting pictures...we're really going to try to be better about it. So, I'm going to start with Christmas pictures and then update from there. Sorry we're such slackers!!!

Love,
Em and Drew

Saturday at the Dog Park

One of our new favorite places to play is at the dog park at Shawnee Mission park. I think Ella was about four weeks old at the time. She slept through the whole trip!!! She is such a good baby. My sister, Amy, was in town to hang out with us for the week.
Amy, Emily, Meg and Ella (hiding in the carrier)
Poor Lily, hiding with Auntie Mimi!!!
The boys (Drew and Colby) thought it was a really good idea to see if the dogs could swim. It wasn't the warmest day, but that didn't stop the guys from taking their sock and shoes off and jumping in!!! Crazy fools!!

More Sweet Pictures of Ella Grace

Drew and I have probably taken around 500 pictures of Ella already. We're a little camera happy, but we also don't want to miss out on a thing. Everything she does is just too cute. We can't help it.

Uncle Dick's Visit with Ella

Uncle Dick was in town for a meeting so he got to squeeze on Ella for an afternoon. He checked her over and made sure she had all ten fingers and all ten toes!!!

Uncle Dick was so wonderful to cuddle with, little miss Ella just didn't want to wake up.

Trip to Daddy's Office

Dad's first day back to work. Dad really missed Ella so we had to make a quick trip to his office so he could smooch on his little one.

Tummy Time

Ella is not a huge fan of tummy time, but her mean mom and dad make her practice anyway. She is really doing a great job of trying to hold her head up on her own. She's gifted!!!

Weight Check

Ella Grace had an appointment to check her weight a week after we were discharged from the hospital. She was 6lbs 15oz!!! We were so proud!!! Thank goodness Grandma Moulis was there to help. Its a lot of work getting baby and mommy ready to leave the house.

Ella's First Few Days at Home

Aunt Amy and the ladies.

Grandpa Moulis and his girls!!! Lily is a very protective big sister.
