Happy 1st Birthday Ella

Ella opening her packages from Aunt Lori, Uncle Eric, cousins Sarah and Libby.
Ella crashes from all the excitement. (Notice her "Party Girl" pin).

Ella with her two new favorite things..her horse and her Birthday balloon.


At G&G Martin's house in the evening for a small party...look at that cake face :)

Ella with her Elmo. A gift from Aunt Lori and family. (She loves Elmo)


It's October 18th. Our sweet baby Ella was born at 4:24 pm on this date 1 year ago. Her first birthday seemed like an eternity away this time last year. It's really hard to believe we experienced the first year year of her life already. We are truly blessed to have had such a sweet little girl.
During the day, we took her to her one year check up. (Yes, I scheduled this ON her birthday). She is really growing. She weighes 18 pounds and is 29 1/4 inches tall. On the night of the 18th, we had a small party at my parent's house to celebrate on her birthday. We found out how much she loves balloons. Her cupcake balloon was a hit and her favorite new "toy". She received a new rocking horse (from G. & G. Martin) that talks and sings. She was content as can be riding her horse and holding her balloon. Her big family birthday party is on October 24th and we can't wait to celebrate with everyone!
