Ella is one month old today!!!

Wow - unbelievable - but here we are! Ella is doing well - exactly a month after she was born just short of 7lbs, she now weighs over 9.5 lbs.

We've had a busy week as Ella learned how to be a guest at a first party (well, a bbq really), cheered dad on as he finished the London Marathon, and celebrated her birthday!

And the marathon...




Some new pics of Ella as well :)



But not always so happy...

Ella's is three weeks old!

So we've survived!!! It's been fun getting to know one another and Ella has been somehow almost an angel although she has plenty of her little screaming concerts. Overall though, she's pretty good with naps and eating and we're starting to see first smiles from her.


The bath time was a bit stressful at first, but after a few blotched attempts by mom and dad, Ella figured out that it's actually not so bad after all and she seems to enjoy lounging in the water



And when she's not sleeping, we try to have some play time, but of course, it's hit and miss whether she's in the mood. Grandma has been taking her for long walks too and she loves being outside.
