Out of Town Friends

Friday some of our friends from out of town came to visit and stay the weekend. Ben from NOVA and Jason and Sara from Richmond. It was the first time that Ben got to see Ella and Jason and Sara hadn't seen here since she was about a month old. We had a blast all weekend and Ella was great the whole time. I forgot the camera at home for the majority of the day but when we got back home we were able to take some pictures of everyone.



Sunday before everyone left Edward decided to fix breakfast.


Doesn't it look delicious!
Here's another picture of Ella -20 weeks- after she spit up all over her dress today.

Morris Orchard

On Sunday, we went to Morris Orchard to get pumpkins and apples (apple donuts too, they are my fav!) with a group of friends. Ella had on the cutest dress but on the way there she managed to spit up everything possible. I have never seen anything like it, the car seat was even covered. All I had was an extra onsie but one of our friends has a baby that is 5 weeks younger than Ella and she had an extra outfit.

Ella passed out on the way there and stayed asleep the whole time, she woke up when we were walking back to the car. So we didn't get any pictures of her with pumpkins or the apples. I was a little disappointed but we got these:


They had a bunch of hay animals that we stopped at and took a couple of pictures.

Also, on a side note, Ella has her first tooth coming in on the bottom. Scary!

4 months

Ella is four months today but she doesn't have her checkup til the end of the month so I don't know exactly how long or how much she weighs. All I know is, she has put on some pounds. Just this past Saturday she has started rolling from her back to her stomach. Anytime you put her on her back she automatically rolls over, she loves being on her stomach. She's very nosey so I think she loves being on her stomach because she can look around. She's generally a happy baby so she's a joy to be around. The only problem is she use to take 2 hour naps and now I'm lucky if I can get her to take a 1 hour nap so the house doesn't stay as clean as I like it. Oh well, I enjoy the time I spend with her, guess I have to tolerate a messy house for a little bit! Here are some recent pictures of Ella
