Playing in the Snow!

We got some videos of Ella's first time playing in the snow.  She had a good time but we had to take her in pretty soon since she got cold.  Please ignore my crazy laughing.  It kind of makes me sound like a crazy lady in the video.

Some Old Stuff

Here are a few pictures and videos that I haven't had a chance to update on the blog.

Grandpa Keogh

Liam's Grandpa passed away on Tuesday of this week.  I only had the opportunity of meeting him a few times and Ella never got the chance to meet him. At times like these, we are grateful for the knowledge that Liam will be able to see his Grandpa again and that Ella will be able to meet her Great Grandpa someday.  I'm sure that Grandpa Keogh is having a great reunion with all of his friends and family that passed on before him.

Twirling!

Happy Halloween!

We did a lot of fun things for Ella's second Halloween.  To start of the festivities we went to a Bunco Halloween party.   It was really fun and the best part is, Ella slept through the whole thing!  We also went trick or treating a week early in downtown East Lansing; we went to a trunk or treat; and we had a Halloween play group.  We didn't get to go trick or treating on Halloween though, because it was really rainy.  Luckily for us Ella didn't care, so we didn't have to trudge out in the rain.  As you can see, Ella was a cute Owl for Halloween and Liam was Willie from Duck Dynasty.  

We couldn't have this Halloween go by without Ella trying her first sucker.  I think she enjoyed it!

Playing

I haven't put a good video on the blog for awhile.  My excuse being, we have had a few crazy weeks with Ella.  Crazy meaning, Ella had molars coming in.  Her mouth hurt which was making her really grumpy and a grumpy baby for more than a few days can drive just about any one crazy right? That's what I keep telling myself anyways...

Anyways this is a video of Ella playing.  Her favorite types of games include either being surprised or being chased.  It doesn't really sound fun to me but she likes it.

One year old pictures

I really wanted to get a new cute picture of Ella to put up in our house (the one we have up was when from when she was four months old).  Luckily, I have an talented friend who takes amazing pictures.  We just did a quick photo shoot in our back yard a week or two ago.  These are my favorite pictures that my friend took.

 I really like this one because Ella is trying to hold in her smile.

 Does this not seem like the perfect picture.  It even looks like she was posing for the camera.  A picture like that is not easy to get from a mobile one year old.
