Today Miss Ella is 5 months old!! Oh where does the time go?? It seems like it was just yesterday that we were on our way to the hospital after the Superbowl to welcome Miss Ella Lillian Kirkland into this world! She has rocked our world, turned it upside down, caused us many sleepless nights- but filled it with so much love, joy, laughter, and so many smiles! I love her to pieces and so does Jon, we can't imagine her not being around to wake us up at 7am! (or sometimes earlier)

| I love you Kristy, Teresa, Missy & Leisa!! |
Ella is growing like a weed!! She is 14.5 lbs and 25 inches long!! She's somewhere in the 30-40% for height & weight. But her head, oh that big noggin! It's in the 55%! Hopefully she got all her daddy's smart brains in there! She loves toys that light up colors, and play music! She also loves TV (she got that from her daddy)! Me and Ella have spent most of our recent days inside due to the extreme heat! (I thought I moved to a cold place??? 99 degrees??) We play and laugh, we sing, we nap and then usually cook some dinner! In the evenings we go and explore the area around our condo! The cheese guy & head baker at Lund's grocery store both love Ella, so we usually stop by there & pick up a treat or two. There's a park with a kiddo pool a couple blocks away and I have a feeling we will be going there next week when the temperature is only in the 80's! Sometimes we just walk along the streets and let the college kids oooohhh & awwww over Miss Ella. It's a pretty good life being a stay-at-home mommy!
Jon started work this week and has been extremely busy! It looks like he will have longs days, and longs nights when he's on call! He seems to really like the people and the hospital though, plus he's getting great exposure to lots of different cases. He's very thankful to have this weekend off! We will have to do something fun!
Ella & I will venture to Oklahoma next week to visit with family and attend a friends wedding. NaNa has her pool and swing ready for Miss Ella! So look out Oklahoma.....here we come!
Oh yeah- and I'm a Big Girl now! I can roll over from my back to my tummy!! Look out world...here I come! I'll be crawling soon enough :)
