Beach Bum

God had a great idea when He created the beach! I absolutely love it. What else would you expect from a So Cal girl?
It was pretty windy but that didn't matter. We still had a great time!

Got Sand?

Memories

Hello All!
I want to thank everyone for such a fabulous week! I have been pretty sleepy the last few days; you all really wore me out, but it was definitely worth it!!! I love you all so much. Here are some of the highlights:


I had my first swim at Oma & Papa's house.


I love to jump! Nelsons thanks for letting me use the jumperoo.

We had a great time celebrating Oma's birthday! We went out for buffalo wings.


Aunt Melissa and I played with Willie the Water Bug. When my daddy was a kid he played with Willie, too.

My daddy tapped my two bottom teeth to make them official.
Playing with my grandma in the backyard.

I finally had the chance to meet my great grandpa & grandma Simon.

Did I mention that I love my baths?
Grandpa, what are the pokey things on your face?
I can fly!!!!!!!

Junk anyone?

Daddy, please don't eat my hand!
I decided that it is cool to clap again.

Having fun with my mommy.


Boy am I beat!!! Sweet dreams everyone!

Ella





P.S.

Last week I learned how to shake my head "no."

On Vacation

Hello Friends & Family!

I wanted to let you know that I am on vacation in Michigan! I am having a wonderful time! I have tried a lot of new things. I had a slumber party at my grandparents house without my parents. I wasn't quite sure about it at first, but once I got into it Oma, Papa, Uncle Bud, and I all had a great time.

I also went swimming for the first time in Oma's and Papa's pool. We all had a great time and I absolutely loved every minute of it. My biggest feat was being fully submerged in the pool. Daddy counted to three, blew in my face, and we both went under together.

I will catch up with you later! Pictures are coming soon.

Love you all!

Ella
