Ella's First Family Christmas Party


Daddy is a happy guy with a martini in one hand and his baby in the other.


Christmas Eve after Santa visited!


Christmas Morning




Yep, her Daddy dresses her...


To say the least, she doesn't have the girliest wardrobe provided by her parents. (Missing from this picture is her RUSH onesie.)

Baby Jesus

For thirty-something years, both of us have attended church (at least for Christmas and Easter), but this was the first year we were responsible for bringing Jesus with us.

That's right - our one-handed, female baby girl played Baby Jesus in the living nativity scene at Christmas Eve mass.



And we are happy to say that she was a perfect angel. Wide awake through a lot of it, but didn't make a peep - much to the happiness of Kristen, the girl who played Mary.

Two Month Update

I took this adorable little girl to the pediatrician's office today...



And walked out with this...



Ah, the fun of shots with a two-month old.

A quick stats update on the munchkin...

- Height: 24.5 inches (98th percentile)
- Weight: 13 lbs, 13 ozs (95th percentile)
- Head: 43 cm (100th+ percentile)

The summary is that she is an adorable, happy, healthy two-month old...who looks, acts, and weighs that of a four-month old. :)

Some new pics!

Baby and martinis

Ella's first trip to Flemings after her first Holiday Pops. Pics from that to come!

Holiday Pops

Ella's first (and definitely NOT last) trip to the Holiday Pops...




Also her first trip to Fleming's Steakhouse... she was an angel though she likely terrified the staff when we walked in.

Getting bigger!

Sweet time with daddy and loving her ocean playmat.

Baby feet...

...are just that much cuter.
