Despite the blizzard we had to start this weekend it turn out to be a chilly but sunny, relaxing weekend for Ella and me. Gabe headed down to the Twin Cities for a bachelor party for our friend KK early Saturday morning for the weekend which left Ella and I for our girls weekend. I had originally planned to meet up with some friends in the Cities as well this weekend ,but things changed when all the nasty weather hit on Thurs/Friday...amazing how your plans change so quickly when a lil one is thrown into the mix.
So Ella and I met up with my friend/co-worker Jill on Saturday and did some shopping around town and went out for lunch. Ella loved riding around in her stroller and stayed awake for most of the trip while humoring us both as we held dozens of outfits up to her. She fell asleep while we were out to eat and pretty much slept pretty much the rest of the day when we got home. I joined her for a much needed nap when we got home and vegged out for the night with movies and snuggling.
Ella woke up bright and early this morning at 7:30 ready to play of course and was all smiles. We played for much of the morning in between me doing some laundry. After her bath I put her in a new outfit that I had bought for her at the Nike Outlet in Albertville about a month ago. Of course she wasted no time hamming it up for the camera as you can see.
Ella had another first today...she offically held her bottle all on her own for her feeding. She has propped with one hand before, but never actually grabbed at her bottle to hold it up before. She started to grab at it and I thought it was just a fluke, but even after her burpings she grabbed at it again to hold it up! I had to take a picture to show Gabe since he was out of town still. Notice again how she hams up and shows off for the camera :)
The rest of the day includes watching the Masters (golf) and continuing to veg out since tomorrow it's back to work again for me while Ella gets to stay home with Daddy for the day who will be working from home with her.

Sad to say I missed a couple of the firsts, but I did enjoy the benefit of having her feed herself for the most part today... Now if mommy could just teach her to change her own diapers, this parenting thing would be a breeze.
She's beautiful. I can't wait to meet her.
