Opening Presents - Part 1

The first six pictures are from Auntie Beth's visit back in April. Ella got to open her presents early so Beth could be there!

She is a little nervous of the bag....

....then she started clapping....

....then she pulled out an adorable outfit but was more excited about the hanger....

....then she used the hanger to point at pictures in her new book....

....and then she clapped at the end again. :)

Ella and her two aunts.

Now, the next few pictures were taken by Ella's Uncle Jason. I haven't even looked at the pictures we took on our camera last Saturday, but here are just a few of her opening her presents from all of her wonderful friends!

Morgan and Joseph (her cousins) got her the cutest bikini!

Daddy helping out.

I'll post more later.....

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!

I sang "Happy Birthday" to Ella as I drove her to her nanny's house today...and then cried all the way to work. :)

This time last year....

I was on the way to the hospital! :)

Hanging Out with Grandma and Grandpa Hall

How sweet is this picture??

Yeah for Parks!

Apparently Ella LOVES to swing! David and I took her to the park last Saturday and she loved it. It was super cute to watch her laugh and then almost throw up as David pushed her higher and higher!

4 Months Preggo

Even though I hate side pictures of myself......I promised a few friends that I would post some belly shots so David took some of me yesterday.

12 days and counting......

I cannot believe that my baby girl is turning ONE in just 12 more days!!! On that note, I apologize for the lack of posting lately. It's not because there's nothing to post about because Ella is now walking EVERYWHERE, speaking her own language and becoming a very active toddler! I guess being 4 months pregnant with a 1 year old and a husband is taking a toll on me! :)






I promise she is not eating dog poop...it was a stick she found in my grandparent's front yard.



This is the swing my in-laws got me for my birthday and we LOVE it!

Yes, she is holding her dirty diaper in her hand. I had just changed her. :)
