Aunty Kathy, Katie, Ella and Uncle Bill
Katie with Ella
This past week Ella visited the doctor for her 4 month check-up. She weighed 12 lbs, 7 oz's and measured 24 1/4" long. She is really getting big! Almost 5 inches longer than she was at birth!
She also visited the orthopaedic doctor who suggested her little brace stay on for 5 more weeks. Ella's Aunt Sarah made some comfy sleeper sacks for Ella to wear. Sarah is so talented when it comes to sewing! I just don't have that talent (AT ALL).
On Wednesday, we all felt the earthquake here in Beverly Shores that occured in Gilbert, Illinois at 4 am. The bed shook and closets rattled but nothing serious. It was exciting though. Mike and I joke about it being Ella's first earthquake. Let's hope its her last. ;)
On Saturday, we celebrated Ka's (E's 2nd cousin) 15th birthday party. It was great to see everyone and everyone loved seeing Ella. It was her first "Sto Lat" (Polish birthday)celebration. She cried from being startled from Uncle Stanley's loud singing, but we explained to E that "Sto Lat" birthday song is always sung loudly.

On Sunday, we had company that conisited of cousins, Ben, Dana and Katie. Katie met Ella for the first time and came all the way from Oklahoma. It was exciting to visit with her! Uncle Bill and Aunt Kathy also stopped by. It was nice to spend Valentine's Day with them!
Mike made shrimp alfredo (one of his many mastered entrees) for dinner in the evening... this was our little Valentine's dinner.
