Ella's Baptism

Sunday, August 23rd we had Ella's baptism at St. Thomas More, the same church that Will and I got married in. Then after the service we had a small gathering for lunch back at our house. Here's some pictures from the day. (the picture in the header is also from her baptism day)

Almost 6 Months

This Friday Ella will be 6 months. Its hard to believe that 6 months have already passed since she was born. It seems like she is doing something new almost every day. She is rolling over and sitting up a little bit. We look forward to everything else she will do in the next few months!!

This picture was taken about a month ago...

The pictures below were all taken last weekend...

Some of our adventures this past week...

Ella laughed for the first time on Sunday 4/26!

We went to visit Mommy's friends at work...
Relaxing on the couch after our afternoon out.

Ella got to meet her Grandpa Nester. Ella sitting with our friends on the bed. :o) (It's the famous Frog!)

Ella grabbed onto the ring all by herself for the first time!! She didn't let go for awhile! :)

Ella's 2 Months Old!!

This past Tuesday Ella turned 2 months old. We've been bad about keeping the blog updated with pictures so here's some from the last month...

We took Ella to visit the Easter Bunny at Somerset Collection

1 Month Old

Saturday Ella turned a month old!! Time is going by way too fast!! Tomorrow we will go see the doctor and find out how big she is. She's already outgrowing most of her newborn size clothes and starting to wear some of her 3 month size stuff.

The first smile we were able to catch on the camera...She started to smile on March 12th.

Officially 1 Month Old!

ZZZZZZZZZZZ

2 Weeks Old!

Well, it's hard to believe that Ella is already 2 weeks old. Time has been flying by!!

Here's some pictures that we've taken of her over the last week or so.

Gabriella Caylie Nester

Gabriella has arrived!! She was born February 21, 2009 at 1:04pm. She weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 20 inches long. We are so happy and excited that she is here and love her more than we could have ever imagined!

We've been keeping busy but I wanted to hop on and post a few pictures of Gabriella with many more to come! :)
