Ella turns 3 MONTHS OLD!!

Today, January 18th, Ella turned 3 months old!! I can't believe it. Today Mike had the day off of school being MLK day. We had lunch with his parents and they got to visit with Ella. I can't explain how she has really "come to life" in short time. Seeing her progress makes motherhood so rewarding! I feel lucky to be at home with her everyday as she grows. She is really developing and it is amazing (as I am sure all mommies can relate)! She is getting stronger by the day. She coos and aahs and recognizes people. What a big girl she is becoming. She has noticeably filled out the last couple of days. She loves pulling up her legs as she gets changed and then giving me big smiles. She babbles to herself quite frequently.
We visited our friend Tara this week who gave us a new lay n' play. She will love this bright new toy! Tara, a mother of two sweet little boys age 6 and 1, has been a great source of advice to me and I appreciate all she has done :)
This week, she was fitted into a little leg "brace" to aid her hip growth on her left hip. She has to wear the brace for one month. It is nothing major and she doesn't seem to mind it at all. She just can't wear pants- only sleeper sacks or dresses during this time.
She is starting to really enjoy time in her bouncer seat which she never liked before. She stares at her "animal friends" on the bouncer and "talks" to them. She really likes the yellow raccoon.
She is such a good baby and Mike and I feel blessed.
