Testing Out the Tot Swing at the Park

Ella's Very First Birthday Party

Ella's Birthday Gift from Us

We decided it would be fun for Ella to have her very own little seat in the living room. After looking around at a few options, we decided to go with a bean bag chair. Unfortunately, after getting it home and having Ella give it a test run, we realized it is way too big for her.

Ella is a Whole Year Old!!

Since Ella's birthday was a couple weeks before her party, she celebrated the day by opening the gifts & cards that she had received in the mail.

Celebrating Avrill's Birthday

We went to the Franklin Park Conservatory to celebrate Ella's friend Avrill's 1st Birthday.

Who needs toys when there's new kleenex in the house?

It seems that Ella's favorite activity right now is emptying a new box of Kleenex. One morning she discovered if she hides under the piano bench, it takes Mommy much longer to figure out what she's up to.

Ella's Two Newest Girlfriends

Here is Ella with Darby (in the top photo) and Ava (in the photo to the left).

Ava is the super-cute daughter of our friends Keri & Chad. As you can see, Ava is one of many babies who are younger than Ella, but have a whole lot more hair than her. Darby is the beautiful daughter of our friends Jasmine & Derrick. Darby was a couple weeks old and wasn't too sure about the giant baby who wanted to show off the wooden toy fork she was holding.

Ella's First Playdate with Paityn

I got back in touch with my college girlfriend Christina when we found out we both have baby girls who are just a month and a half apart in age. Our playdates have a been a big success! Christina & I love catching up and Ella & Paityn play together really well and even have their own little conversations.

Breakfast Time or Nap Time?

I guess Ella didn't find her oatmeal and melon breakfast all that exciting.

Mischievous Ella

Welcome Macy & Riley!

Ella is sitting with Lily, Dylan, Nathan and their newborn twin sisters, Macy & Riley. We had a great time meeting Macy & Riley for the first time and Ella loved playing with Lily, Dylan & Nathan.
