Ella's Birthday

It is hard to believe that Ella is already one year old! I am a little late in posting about her birthday, but it was on February 15th. One year ago on her birth day, I remember feeling so much anticipation about finally meeting sweet Ella. It will always be a special memory to think of when I first saw Ella when she was rolled out of the operating room and into the nursery. All we could do is just stare at her through the nursery window, talk about what a beautiful, tiny baby she was, and take a million pictures.

Joshua and I, and Kristin and Laney were able to celebrate with her on her actual birthday. The babies wore precious birthday hats and were not too sure what to think about them.


Ellas is the famous pacifier stealer...since Joshua didn't have a paci in his mouth, Ella decided to steal his hat!


Is Joshua's hat floating?


Ella's birthday party was a lot of fun. It was Joshua's first birthday party to attend for one of his friends. He was very excited to eat puffs, crawl around, play with his friends, and watch Ella open presents and eat cake.




Joshua also played with Caleb. Caleb was so sweet to make sure Joshua didn't hurt himself when he was pulling up on things. After about 10 minutes of them playing together, Caleb proclaimed, "Joshua rocks!" I agree, Caleb!
