Rolling Over (Slowly)

So Ella rolled over for the first time yesterday. I laid her down on her back and after a short while she managed to get on her side and then completely rolled over. Of course it's a VERY SLOW roll but she did it!! Emma didn't even notice it when I showed her the video for the first time!!

Since then she has done it 2 more times.

Also, last night was Ella's first night spent sleeping in her crib in her room!!! She did great and only woke up once during the night.

Worth the wait

Sorry to those of you who have been waiting for new pictures, but we've posted a ton and they are worth the wait! She's transitioned to Mom going back to work really well and has really been enjoying her time with her nannies- we have found some special people who care about our daughter which means so much to us. Ryan is still at home with her quite a bit and I come home at night to stories of how happy and content she had been during the day. She's starting to laugh when tickled which is fun to see her react more to us. She loves being outside, whether it's on a walk with Puma or in the garden while I've been starting our summer garden (after all of Ryan's hard work prepping the boxes for me!). I have a feeling this is going to be a great summer filled with picnics, mornings in the garden, hikes with the dog...

I love when she sits on the couch with Dad, she's so content to be in his arms doing whatever it is he is doing!

The quintessential chubby baby smiling picture :) I think we were playing peek a boo!

Normally she takes showers with me, but that week everyone was improvising in the kitchen sink as we were having our tub refinished...

This picture was just too cute not to post...

Here she is at Easter, we're on the edge of the kitchen at Kristen's and she's watching all the action- one of her favorite places? The kitchen! She takes after her mama :)

This is a little hard to see, but Ryan had her outside in the bumbo chair and ran in to get the camera, and this is what he saw from the window... she's sitting in the chair with her hands crossed just looking straight ahead!

Such a little human!

She's not short on personality!

I'm on my second day back at work and dearly miss my baby! So Ryan took this video for me today- and for you all (grandmas and grandpa especially)! We have more pictures to post but wanted to share this for now :).
