Precious Pics

Well, I haven't blogged in a while so I thought I would update, but not much is new with us. Here are some new pictures of Ella and us...sorry there is so many - I couldn't decide which ones to post so here is a bunch!

I can finally sit up like a big girl on my own!

Here is Ella tasting her teething biscuit....yeah....so I remember a long time ago someone told me that there was a treat or something that was super messy for infants and be careful when you give it to them...now I remember - it was these:) Oh well - she loved them and thankfully they don't stain clothes or blankets:)

Ella finally got to meet my dear friend Sarah - she was visiting from Kentucky - great seeing you Sarah!

At first we kept thinking Ella was sucking her thumb...nope...she just loves to chew on it constantly:)

They are hard to see here, but there is in fact 2 little teethers there!

"I like to suck in my lower lip...it helps with the teething"

Working hard AND hardly working:)

At times it can be hard to find things that ease the teething - Grandma Koning suggested carrots! She really digs them:)

We don't let her sleep with blankets but we were playing on the bed and she fell asleep and it was chilly...she just looks so cozy in there!

Here is me and my nephew Reed - we took him out for supper and some bowling for his 7th Birthday - he almost broke 100 - what a guy!

Here she is last week on her first walk this spring in the jogger - she loves walks....I can hardly wait for permanently nice weather!

Tonight we got to meet my cousins Angie and Ben's little baby boy Andrew Benjamin - he was born last Monday at 9lbs 11oz and 20 inches. He is so adorable! Another little playmate for Ella!
