Smile!

This weekend we were very excited to host a small little brunch for some of our family.  We introduced Ella to Adam's godparents for the first time, and Ella received two books from his godmother to add to her growing literature collection.  A brunch of waffles, bacon, eggs, and mini bagels with lox was happily consumed and great conversation was shared around the table.  Times like these make us grateful that we are surrounded by such great family and friends.

Thanks Pete & Anna-Marie for coming out to see us and Ella!  We look forward to future Disneyland trips with you guys!

This weekend also marked (what we think is) the emergence of Ella's social smile.  She has been smiling at us (cheeks and all) for the past couple weeks, but usually the smiles are followed by gas or a lovely surprise in the diaper.  But on Saturday morning Ella treated Adam and me to some pretty sweet facial expressions (only half of them were followed by a bodily function).  So hopefully this the beginning of her new way of communicating with us!

Needless to say, we melt every time!
