Ella is a month old today. Can't believe it. We all just L O V E her. It never ceases to amaze me how having a baby just makes your heart bigger. Not only to make room for the babe but, also, I love my older kids that much more. I feel so lucky to have all my babies. It's hard and wonderful to see them grow up so fast.
This girl is such a good baby. During the day, when she's tired, I just put her down anywhere and she falls asleep. Nights are a little rougher - her fussy time is from about 7:00 to 11:30pm. I'm not sure if her days and nights are mixed up or if she sleeps so much during the day to tune out the chaos that abounds around here. {With three older brothers she's bound to get used to it sooner than later}.I did get a small miracle last night, though. She slept from 12:30 to 5:00 am! The longest stretch of sleep I've gotten since she was born. It felt great, I tell ya!
Ella: is easy going (she handles Austin and Landon toting her around without a fuss - f.y.i. they don't carry her unless I am RIGHT there - just to put Grandma's mind at ease:) ). eats every 3 to 4 hours. is putting on weight like a champ. looks like Landon as a baby when she's sleeping. looks like Austin as a baby when she's awake. smells oh so good. HATES pacifiers but takes a bottle. likes to be swaddled. gets a little gassy at night. falls asleep instantly in her car seat if it's day time - hates it at night. is laying on my lap right now, while I type this one-handed. probably going to hate pink when she's older because everything she has right now has some kind of pink in it (I can't help it! after all the boys I'm loving pink!).

The time goes by faster with each child. She is so cute-as to be expected with your gorgeous genes.
Oh my gosh, she is soooo cute! I just wanna hold her. What a DOLL! And ya gotta love pink. Especially after three boys, right?
You DEFINITELY have to have pink in every outfit! Do it for me too! Ella sounds like such a sweet baby. I wish I could give her some snuggles!
Congratulations Kendra and Cameron! So happy you have a precious baby girl. I connected to your blog through Jen Stringham and it is so fun to see how much your family has grown in the last few years. We miss you in Iowa. I was reading a recipe of yours the other day (spaghetti sauce) and have a question. Would you have a minute to email me with your telephone number. I will take just a few minutes if you don't mind. Congratulations again, Alison Andrizzi at andrizzifamily@msn.com
She is so precious! I'm happy Ella is such a good baby.
