Continuing adventures of miss Ella Jane

Yeah I am pretty cute.. 
YOU talking to ME? 
Hi Ya! I love my calistenics.. 


Really mom - enough with the close ups.. 

Hi All

Well we can't believe it but miss Ella is already over 3 weeks old! It is crazy how fast time is flying. And she is changing everyday. Milestones so far- last Thursday she finally lost her umbilical cord stump-- uh gross we found it in our bed. Well actually funny story- I guess Jake found it and left it there because he thought some how I would want to scrap book it? Yuck! No offense my sweet Ella but don't want to save that! Anyway loss of cord gave us the go ahead for her first real bath- it went pretty well with Grandma Sweeney's help. She wasn't so sure at first but then decided she liked it- since she could look out our kitchen window while sponge bathed- lucky gal. We have also started to try and do tummy time- she isn't a big fan yet- but she does like to lay on her back and give her legs a good work out in the evenings while dad serenades her with guitar. So needless to say we are having a lot of fun through all the spit up! One final milestone- she is chunking up and we have moved out of newborn diapers- now we are up to diapers between 8-14lbs! We will get an official weigh in next week at our 4 week pediatrician visit- but all looks good for this pretty little girl. Here are some pictures I took of Ella in motion. Enjoy. Hope to talk to you all soon! For those of you in NY we will be coming to Scotia 12/22 and leave 12/28- so we hope to see some or all of you on our trip. We are making it quite an outing- renting a mini van so we can bring our dog with us as well. So it will be a full house at 15 Robinson Rd! Much Love, Sheila, Jake & Ella Jane
