More pictures of Ella, of course!!

So, Yes I'm posting more pictures of Ella, because she is pretty much my world right now (and I guessing this isn't going to change anytime soon....so get used to it). A couple of non-Ella things have happened since I posted last, one of which being that I turned 27 yesterday. My sister-in-law Amanda came over with her son Jude. They brought me lunch and then we went to the pool here at Cobble Creek. Neither Ella or Jude were that excited about getting in the cold water, so we just hung out on the steps of the pool and talked for a while. It was really nice of them to come over! Then Ella took a 3 HOUR NAP (that never happens) and I was able to watch TV, take a nap myself, and talk to my best friend Liz for a while, uninterrupted! Ella must have known it was my birthday ;) Then Adam made me a nice dinner and helped put Ella to bed (which is no easy task these days).
Speaking of that.....she teased us for a while by going down very easy and only waking up once...but this was short lived. Now it takes several tries of going in and rocking her until she finally goes down, and then she wakes up 2-3 times. Not sure why this is, but I just have to drop all expectations when it comes to nighttime, because she is apparently a very un-predictable child! I did get a new Nikon L120 camera for my birthday, so I have been having a lot of fun snapping shots of my kiddo :) Hopefully with more practice I will get better at getting good pictures. Here are some I've taken so far....

Ella doing her two favorite things...bathing and chewing on her fingers!

This is one of my favorite ones so far...laying on the rug in her nursery

So far, her eyes are still blue...not sure but I think they will turn brown like her daddy's :)

She looks like she's taking a stand for something here! You know what they say, If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything!

Ella Miller and Isley Howard--new buddies :) Got together with Ali, Jessie and their husbands at Ali's last weekend to celebrate our August birthdays. Isley is just adorable, and I think these two will be good friends :)

My Grandma Pinson and Ella. I just love this picture!! Ella will really treasure this one day. I have one with my Great Grandpa Olsen quite similar to this when I was a baby.
