Ella's Friends

Ella had a visit from her friends on Friday night. Val & Dave and Rosa & Franco came over to see our little girl. Ella's is becoming quite the little social butterfly. She loves all her new friends!

Baby Bath

Ella gets all her nooks and crannies cleaned on the kitchen counter, just like daddy.

Boppy Baby

Ella engaging in our favorite pastime: watching TV

All dressed with no place to go

Hangin with Amanda and Sammy

We became one step closer to acheiving our goal of having everyone we know handle Ella.
When Amanda and beau Sammy stopped over for dinner and drinks Amanda became smitten with little Ella Lucia.

Walk around the lake

Ella took us for a long walk today around Museum Campus. It was a beautiful day for a stroll. She got a new jogging stroller so we had to try it out. It actually has air tires unlike our other stroller that has plastic wheel that magnify every bump on poor Ella's little vertebrae. No more shaken baby!

Backseat Driver

Ella kept me company today when I drove Betty to Rush for a blood test.

She loves the car rides.

Summer at the pool

Ella loved hanging in the shade and getting fed by big cousin Catie at the Riverside Pool on Saturday.

Rockin' Ella

Baby Independence

Ella started her first 4th of July in bed with mom and dad, then a stroll around town.  

and lastly, a trip to grandma & grandpa Vitek 

Ella... 1 week later

Baby Ella has now had a chance to try out all the days in a week and what a week it was: a dr. appt (she was a champ), 56 feedings, wal-mart and babies-r-us road trips, meeting all her adoring fans and oh yes, that fun birth canal ride.

All done for the day!
