A couple more Easter pics and Ella at the Beach...

We went to Galveston the weekend of Chris'
birthday to spend time with Poppa Joe and
Naner at the Silver Leaf Resort at the west end
of the Island. I always love going to Galveston
no matter if I get to go to the beach or not and
no matter if the water is brown or not. It's just
a place I love being. I guess it all stems from us
going down there so much during our childhood
to our beach house with family. Anyways, we
drove there Friday night and ate at Fishtales on our
way down the seawall. The next morning we went
into town and ate lunch then came back and went
to the beach. This was Ella's first time at the beach
and it was a litle overcast that Saturday so the water
was pretty cold! She didn't take to it as good as we
thought she would but it was windy and like I said
it was cold for even me! She still had fun with her
toes in the sand and feeling the texture of the sand
in her hands.
I always like to start things off with my favorite
recent picture each post so here it is...In honor of
Chris' birthday May 2nd, Ella had on her I love Dad
pj's on his birthday.


Let me digress here for a minute...I forgot to post
these couple pics from Easter...Ella walking with her Poppa...


This is her Easter basket that Granny & Poppa
bring her and Ethan each year...filled with goodies!






Going hunting for Easter eggs...looks determined doesn't she...

Ella & Ethan

Now begins the pictures from the beach...get

ready there are tons!

Her Aunt Jojo bought her this new bathing suit...

thanks Aunt Jojo. Oh and by the way...Ella is now

saying Jojo and of course this melts Jodi's heart!

She says "hi jojo" and repeats it over and over.

Before going back to the beach on Sunday, we went

to the playground at the resort where her daddy took

her the day before...

Check out that face! LOL She makes the funniest

faces going down the slide but always smiles at the

end. It's like she looses her tummy.

Already practicing her gymnastics! :-)

Sliding with Daddy...

LOVE this picture of her on the slide!

I know it's been almost a month since I posted

last so there is a lot to catch up on. Ella is growing

like a weed! I think she is around 21 lbs. right now.

And I can definitely tell she is getting taller since she

has outgrown the length of her 12 month sleepers.

She has 10 teeth now and more and more are coming

in every day and usually all at the same time...that's

just the way she likes to do things. LOL

She says "no" all the time but we are using reverse

psychology (not really)on her and when she says "no"

we say "yes" and she then turns shaking her head

from side to side to nodding her head forward and

back. So, she says yes, even if she doens't want to...LOL

She says so many words and copies everything we

say and do. I know all parents think their children

are amazing and we are no different! I know Chris

and I feel the same when I say, that sometimes well,

all the time, we just watch her in amazement! I still

miss her right after I drop her off at Mrs. Gloria's.

Last week she cried while looking back at me while

I was leaving. This was the first time she did that and

boy did it break my heart! I cried the whole way out

and the whole way to work!

Ella knows where the baby is and points to my tummy

or my boob and then sometimes pats it. She gives my

belly kisses too!

As for Miller baby #2, who we have been calling peanut,

and who Chris is certain is a boy, he/she is doing good

and we'll get to find out what the sex is in 3 weeks!

I had my 16 week appointment last week and they

said everything was looking good. I think I felt the

baby kick a couple times now but I'm not totally for

sure. I didn't feel Ella kicking until I was 22 weeks.

That's it for now...hope everyone has a great weekend

and be safe!

God Bless!
