Halloween 2004
Our 11 week old has yet to take her first steps, but she sure can dance...
Here is our ballerina in action:

Dancing without assistance (HA!!!)

Tired Ballerina
We had a full house for dinner tonight. Debo & Paci, Scott & Charrie, and Grandma Toots came for some Chicken Spaghetti. So, we had a big bath party. Here are some of the better pics from that:

Look, Ma! No Hands!!

After the Bath

What a Good Napper
Just an update... Ella is a great sleeper. She has been awesome since birth, but recently has been sleeping 12+ hours a night. Tonight she went down at 6:15 (due to Daylight Savings Time - usually it's around seven), but if the last several days are an indicator of future events, she should be out until 6 or 7 in the morning. Gotta love a good sleeper!!!

While the cats away...
Noah is in Sweden this week, so I will post a bunch of pictures to make him feel not so far away from his Vitamin E!

We miss you, Noah!

Baby, it's cold outside...
Well, not really cold, just getting cool. Ella is modeling her blue hooded cardigan, hand-knitted by her Great-Aunt Neen. So cute!!

Deliverance
This is the wonderful midwife (her name is Wendy) that delivered Ella (I actually did the delivering, she did the catching). But she was an amazing support.
Funny thing....When you go through an experience like childbirth, you remember everyone involved, all the nurses, doctors, neonatologists, etc. It is etched in my brain forever. But, when I went in for my follow-up appointment with Wendy, she didn't remember me from any other mother or the experience from any other, which, of course makes sense...
