Ella's Kiddie Kandids Experience

We went to Kiddie Kandids a few weeks ago to get some birth announcement pictures taken.
This was the shot we chose.



These were some of the other shots that were taken...

Visiting Grandpa & Grandma Lamb's House

Ella and I went to visit my family for a week up in Eagle, Idaho. We had a good time, Ella had a lot of eager little hands to hold her and it was a nice break for mommy!


The proud new grandparents!



Ella & momma



Tyler and Ella-belle. She loves sleeping all spread eagle with her arms and legs all stretched out!



Ella has a pretty cool hairdo, it's kinda like and Alfalfa style thing she's got going on. She starting a new baby fad!



Driving in the car on the way up there!
Ella is a pretty happy baby, she loves to smile and just recently she started laughing. We love playing with her and hearing her mimic us with her little baby chatter.

Come one come all ...to the amazing exploding diaper girl!

Your eyes are not deceiving you...poop has defied gravity and come out the top of her diaper on both the front and the back of her!


Ella was so proud of her new found talent!



Just a smiling away!

Ella's Blessing Day (June 3, 2007)

We blessed Ella in a completely new ward in Draper, Utah where we are living for the summer, luckily we were able to have our family and some friends come down for the event. There were three other blessings of baby girls that day so the church was packed and all the blessings ended up taking up pretty much all of sacrament! After the blessing we went to a little park next to our apartment for a little luncheon.




Ella was zonked out for her whole blessing and for awhile after which made things much easier for Chad while he blessed her.



She was so cute in her frilly blessing dress!



She finally started to wake up...

Ella's grandparents! She's the first grand-baby for both sides so she gets passed around a lot!

Little Ella Bear

Ella is getting bigger day by day!
At her 2 month check-up she weighed 12 lbs. 3 oz. and was 22.8 inches long. She is in th 79th percentile for her weight and the 70th for her length, so she is nice and proportionate!



She keeps us laughing with how much she jabbers and smiles now!



Whenever a camera comes out she stops doing her cute smiles to just stare at the device with bewilderment.



So it is definitely a feat to catch her smile on camera before she notices whats going on!



I guess she was a little hungry and Chad's finger looked pretty tasty!

First couple of weeks home from the Hospital

Trying to get her to sleep in her crib














Fast asleep on Grandma Lamb!



















































One of Ella's first baths! She looks a little weirded out by the whole experience...but she didn't cry!


She enjoyed her head getting scrubbed...her hair looked like slicked balding old man hair when it was all wet and soaped up.

Diana and Jason's Wedding (April 21, 2007)

Diana (Chad's sister) and Jason's wedding at the Idaho Falls Temple. Ella was only 10 days old.













Her headband was too big for her head and now looking back at these pictures looked pretty funny on her head! :)











Chad making his most attractive face.













Angie (Chad's sister) and Chadder.













Aww the happy couple!


















This was my dad's first time seeing Ella. He was a proud little Grandpa!

















Cody's first time with Ella too.
