Ella's First Plane Ride!!
February 26, 2009
Denver to San Diego
It has been a long time since I have posted anything so I wasn't really sure where to start. I figured I would start with the latest news, which you can see is our trip to San Diego. It was a ton of fun. The weather was awesome and it was nice to spend four whole days with Ella and Peter. Ella did pretty well on her first plane ride. She wanted to move around alot so she would kind of get fussy when we wouldn't let go of her. And both times she didn't fall asleep until about 30 minutes before we were landing so she slept through both arrivals.
Lorelei and Ella played really well together. As much as little ones that age "play together". But they were cute. Lorelei actually has the same activity table that Ella has so I think that helped Ella feel a bit more at home. We stayed with Whitney and Jeff for the four days and I really liked how they have baby proofed their house, I was far less anxious about Ella hurting herself than I am when I have her in my living room. We still have a coffee table with sharp corners and the stairs that we haven't gated off yet, so I am constantly at her side. But after seeing Whitney's house, I think it's time to step it up on my baby proofing skills!Lorelei is just adorable. She's just about the same size as Ella but to me she seemed so little, and light! I think she's few pounds lighter than Ella. I had to remind myself a couple of times to keep my eye open for a little one running around because she is tall enough that a few times I would turn to walk and my knee would hit her just right to send her toppling over!
My pictures are out of order but that's because I'm trying to post all of this stuff fast and get to bed! Anyway, we went to the beach on Saturday. Look at that smile on Ella's face! You know what this tells me? We'll have to visit a beach in Hawaii very soon! She had a blast in the sand and liked contemplating the water hitting her toes. The water was still very cold so we just dangled her toes in it for a second. Peter thought about taking the plunge but decided against it once he waded to about mid-calf!
We went to the zoo on Friday. This pic was actually at the end of the day so she was getting tired. Yep...still a thumb sucker.
Ain't life rough...
The trip was a quick one but I'm so glad we were able to go. It was nice to spend time with Whitney and Jeff....and who knows when they will be back to Denver. Thank you to Southwest Airlines for running that awesome deal...and thank you to Whitney for sending me the link!
The rest of this is just pics from the last few months. I have been remiss in keeping everyone updated but a few months ago Ella started getting up in the middle of the night and so that totally threw off my wonderful sleep schedule. I've had to adjust to the lack of sleep thing so I'm just now getting back into the routine of getting stuff done after she goes to bed.
Christmas Baby!

9 1/2 Months Old....hehehe. She acutually turned 10 months old today but I forgot to take a picture. But this pic was like a week and a half ago...
All and all it has been a great few months. Ella is changing right before our eyes. It's crazy. But we are having so much fun. Blake has been doing well in school. He finishes up CSAP testing this week. We will be taking a trip to Texas in June to hang out with him and Kathy and Jim for a week. We are all really looking forward to that. Patrick and Kelly and their two kids and Paul and Lisa will also be there--so the whole family! We can't wait to see everyone.
Hope all is well with everyone. For those of you in other states, we miss you! And for those of you here, we'll see you soon!
