Smile

I must say this picture makes me grin from ear to ear every time I glance at it. I love her smile and just the fact that she smiles. I can't' really explain it except that it brings joy to my heart and I look forward to a lifetime of these.

Memorial Day

We went out to the farm and grilled out and layed by the pool. Here is a picture of our bathing beauty. She wasn't sure what to think of the pool. The water was a little cool, but Ella Joy still enjoyed her time.

Daddy's Thumb

I believe that Ella Joy has started teething. I know it is early and yes it can take a while. However, she chews on her hands constantly and anything she can get in her mouth. She really likes her daddy's thumb.

Jumping Ella Joy

Here is Ella Joy in a jumping bouncer for the first time. She knew exactly what to do. She holds her head up pretty good and likes to stand in our lap most of the time. Her legs are stretched straight out quite often. I must say that I am proud of her latest development.

Ride ' Em Cowgirl

This picture is funny to me. It looks like Ella Joy is practicing for a rodeo. I have thought about her growing up and being lots of things, a cowgirl is not one of them though. It just makes me laugh that this how she had her hands in the bumbo seat.

Great Grandma

This is my Great Grandma. She is my Pops' mother. She had being waiting for me to wake up so she could hold me. I tend to be asleep most of the time when family is all together.

Aunt Alex

This is Ella Joy with her Aunt Alex. Alex came and spent the night with me. She really liked my dress that I had on.
