Baby Dedication & Ella's New Developments

Today was a big day for Ella! She was recognized at my mom and dad's church (Grace) and then had her baby dedication at Southland! I am very excited to raise Ella in the church and I know her daddy is too! We have been praying for her and her walk with God ever since she was inside the womb and we will continue to pray that she will be a strong woman of faith as she grows and matures. We are very blessed to have such a supportive family. Ella had lots of friends and family there to share in her special day. Her Great-Nanny came, along with her Granny, Grandpa Jack, Aunt Jackie, Uncle Geoff, Cousin Ava, Nana, Grandpa Rob, Uncle Daniel, Aunt Bekah, Lynsie and Robert. One of my friends (Sarah) also goes to Southland and her baby (Ivy) was recognized today as well. I hope that our girls will get to know each other as they get bigger and participate in the youth there at Southland. They are only a month and a half apart in age.











Ella is getting so big! She is going to be eight weeks old this Friday. She is also becoming more and more alert as each day passes. She is beginning to add "coos" and other noises with her smiles. Her Nana caught her with a big smile on her face this past week. It is my most favorite picture of her! She loves to be talked to and follows objects and people when they move. She still loves her swing, but also loves laying on her back. She has not been consistently sleeping through the night, but wakes only once during the night to eat. She is a wonderful and very beautiful baby girl!
