Lunch at Aunt Brandy's

We went to have lunch at Brandy's with Dana and Noah and celebrate Noah's 2nd birthday since we won't be able to make it to his party. It was great fun!

Eatin' in her Exersaucer

Papa's Shoulders

She just loves being stuck inbetween Papa and the chair. I think she likes how his hair feels (or lack thereof)

Pop in Town

Pop came in town for work and Miss Ella got a chance to hang out with him . She was listening to her voice as they bounced and of course as soon as I turned the camera on she stopped. Isn't that how it always works?

Bottle Time

Just laying on the floor, drinkin'. We hung out with cousins Gus and Ethan today at Gram and Pop's.

Mama out with the gals!

We hung out with Aunt Jennifer, Gus and Ethan today then

Gram and Pop agreed to listen for any Ella noise in the evening while Mama hung out with the girls for a little while.

Under Water Ella!

She looks so forward to going to swimming lessons. She gets giddy when we walk in the door and is at her happiest in the water. Here she is doing her underwater dive. It's so neat to watch her!

More Swimming Lessons

Ella going down the slide at the end of swimming lessons.

She adores the water!

Ella and her Papa

Later on Ella and Papa play on the floor at Granny and Popo's. She just LOVES her Papa! She sounds so cute laughing too!

Rolling Ella

Here she is rolling on the floor. She's getting pretty good at getting where she wants to be!

Hangin' with Kayla

We spent the night with the Vandeburgs in San Antonio. Kayla and Ella are becoming fast friends!

Mama's OUT!

I dropped Miss Ella off at Granny's house with Aunt Heather... Our first night away from eachother since her arrival! Yes, a couple of tears were shed when driving away, but it was good to hang out and celebrate Aunt Sarah's birthday. Granny and Popo were SO excited to have her all to themselves!

Drinking Water

7 Months Old!

My Friend Kaitlyn

Miss Ella tried bread for the first time today. We went to visit our friends Katherine and Kaitlyn and watching the two of them watch eachother eat was quite entertaining! Ella wasn't sure what to think about it, really.

Playing on the Floor

Aunt Michelle and Parker came to visit before we headed back to Austin. Boy, she loves her Cousin Parker!

July 4th

Ella and I went out to visit Granny and Popo and we met the whole family out at the ranch on Lake Medina to barbque and watch the fireworks, which Ella loved. She was a trooper staying up late and hanging in there!
