First tooth


Yes another post about our little Ella. Last Monday her first tooth popped through. I can't believe she is already getting teeth. I didn't even know she was teething. I was waiting for the typical symptoms like a fever, runny nose, cranky, etc. She was sucking a lot more and drooling a lot more, but I didn't think anything of it. But sure enough she has her first tooth popping up and her second one on the bottom is showing the top. I can't believe she is getting teeth now. She is getting to be so much fun lately her little personality is the best. Seriously I can't believe what a great baby Zach and I were blessed with. She also this past week has figured out how to pull herself up on things. So now we have to keep a really close eye on her. She has given up on crawling and now just wants to pull up on everything. We love our little Ella and can't wait for many more adventures!

Our little fishy!












We took Ella swimming last Saturday for her first time! She loved being in the water and splashing everywhere. We went and bought her, her own little ladybug floatie before we went swimming. I think she loved having so much freedom in the water to kick and move around. She also got a little sunburn, but luckily it wasn't too bad. I think she had so much fun that when we took her out she fell right asleep. She was definitely worn out. We can't wait to take Ella swimming a lot more this summer. She loved it!

Crawling soon

Ella is going to crawl anyday now. She gets on all fours and just rocks. I can't believe my little girl is going to be crawling. She is already rolling around and scooting to get to every place she wants to especially Mowglie's dog bowls. We have caught her a couple of times with the water spilt every where and some pieces of dog food. I don't know what it is about kids and dog food!

I just wanted to post this cute little picture of her about to crawl! She is so cute especially her chubby little cheeks and arms! I will have to post a picture soon of her cute little legs. They are so chubby and one leg has a bigger roll then the other. She definitely gets this from Zach because he was a little rolly polly when he was little. We love our chubby little Ellabella!

Mowglie!

This is our new doggy Mowglie! She is a 1 year old Shih Tzu. She is fully potty trained and super spoiled. It is a nice change to have a dog that we don't have to worry about being mean or snapping. She was way spoiled by her previous owners to the point where she has pajamas, and you have to put them on every night or else she won't go to bed. We tried to not do it one night and she just whined until we put them on and then she went to bed. Let's just say we are trying really hard to break that habit. Mowglie and Ella just love each other so much, Ella can pull on her tail and pet her, and do everything that a baby likes to do to doggies and Mowglie just sits there. Also every morning when Ella wakes up Mowglie has to give her morning kisses, sometimes a little too much! We love Mowglie and love that she is great with everyone.

We still miss Oscar, but he is doing great with his new family. They spend a lot of time with him and take him on 2 mile walks which I know he loves. I am glad that he is happy that is the only reason I could feel good about getting another dog! We love our new doggy Mowglie, but also love and miss Oscar!!!
