We went down for the day yesterday to Ft. Wayne. 
Lots of hugs & kisses from Grandma & Grandpa on our first stop!
Playing with Great Grandma
Fascinated by Great grandpa's overall buttons!!
Especially loved to play with Grandpa's walkie-talkie!!!:) All in all it was a great day!! Especially spending time with Daddy & Mommy!!
We went to Golden Corral on Sunday afternoon. Ella decided she wanted to eat the plate:)
After church Sunday night, they had ice cream & watermelon. Ella took a big bite of Dan's ice cream when he was talking to someone. She really enjoyed it:)
Memorial Day, we went to our church's cemetery where they had a special service. Ella was smiling cheesy the whole time:) You can really see her bottom teeth & now a top one is coming!!
She looked so precious in these pics that I had to post them:)
Aunt Jenny came to visit Tuesday. Daniel & I picked her up from the airport & we went straight to my dad's baseball game. After that we went to Cracker Barrell!! It was soooo much fun! Ella loved being around Aunt Jenny! She would smile & laugh & bounce around really excited:)! We went out to eat & shopping & just enjoyed being around her:) . We already miss Jenny! Come back soon:)!!!
Emily Jane meet Ella Joy
The moms, Becky & Audrey
The dads, Daniel & Nathan
This is the picture from Mother's Day. Our church gives out a goody bag full of things for Ella & some for us:). They also have a 8 X 10 done. She also got her first Bible:)
Isn't this outfit so cute!!
Pretty soon, Ella will be taking off & crawling we think. 
..... When grandpa feeds Ella:)!! She tried squash for the first time last time with grandpa & loved it!!!! He did a great job! She loves Daddy & Grandpa!!!
She has been playing more & more with her little books & is starting to turn some pages. Hmmmm, I wonder where she gets that from? :).....
If you can see it in the picture, it's her bottom front and the second one is starting to show next to it!! We have a baby dedication day on Mother's Day every year & while we we standing in line for it, I noticed a flash of white. I didn't even know she was teething!! It's already halfway through:)! We had a great service & got a bagful of goodies for Ella & us. 
We went out to eat with Daniel's mom & grandma who had come up for the dedication day at Golden Corral. Many people didn't cook today:)!
Ella looked like a pink fluffy cloud today!
Beautiful & fun presents from Grandma with lots of hugs & kisses!!
She really liked this bear she gave her.;)
Hope your Mother's Day was as wonderful as mine:)!
I just had to take this picture of Daniel & Ella last night working on the computer together:). Ella is just watching & holding onto Daniel like "You are so smart daddy to figure that out" , "Show me". etc... I got a lot of pictures unfortunately that were blurry of her face trying to figure out what he was doing.
Garage Sale season!!! Officially my favorite season:). We got a 8 piece plate set yesterday for $10!!!! They are so cute & cheerful for the summer & match our summer place mats so well! I love to find bargains at garage sales:)!!!
Guess who is now eating cereal!!!! We started on Tuesday & she loves it!! She'll try to grab the spoon to feed herself & gets really really excited when you bring it close to her:). We will start veggies at the end of this week. 
She is so alert & is starting to mimic us in some ways. Here she is trying to help Grandma fold laundry. All she does is pull it in & out but we're getting there:)! She i also becoming a chatterbox all the time with new actual "word"sounds. She went to the doctor on Monday & she has gained 2 lbs & grown 1 1/2 in. since her last visit. She had her last shots till 12 mo. & did really well with them. Everything is going great! 
My husband put his hat on Ella today & she cracked me up so I had to take pictures:)! She was so happy to put it on & actually kept it on for a little while. :) Definitely a Daddy's Girl!!
