Ella with her "binkie"

Ella wanted to eat but didn't want to give up her pacifier... what a conundrum.

Yep, she's grown really fond of that pacifier...


What a funny face, Ella! This is what happens when we take it away!

Ella's first time in a swing

This was up at Lake Tomahawk in Black Mountain, NC. There was a great path around the lake that we walked with Sophie. It's springtime, so there were plenty of little ducklings and goslings that I loved to take photos of! There was also a playground where Ella got to take her first ride in a swing!

All about... ELLA!

Bath Time!

Ella used to hate having baths when she was just a few months old, but now she loves them. I think it's more fun for her now that she can play with everything!
