One Month Old!





Ella doesn't have her one month check up until two weeks after she turned one month!  So, we dont have the stats on how she is growing.  We do know that she weighs in at 9lbs and 5oz already!  Woo Hoo!  She is growing so beautiful!  We adore looking at all of her features!  After her appointment we will post all the details of what makes Ella, Ella.

And She Sleeps!



Ella is a tad confused....she likes to sleep during the day and keep us up all night!  Ha!  We are working on more of a routine to keep her awake more during the day!  She is so beautiful especially when she is sleeping!  We love holding her and loving her.  She is grasping our hands now, which melts our hearts!

God Knows What He's Doing!

Well, we are already going into week number 4!!!  Wow!  We cant believe 9 months went by and we are getting ready to celebrate her ONE month birthday!!! 

Ella is amazing.  God knew exactly what we needed in our little girl and He blessed us big time!  She is quiet, she is peaceful, she is beautiful and she is so sweet!  She rarely cries, she sleeps great and she LOVES her mommy!!!! 

I wont lie...the first two weeks we were home were absolutely miserable.  I have never been so overwelmed before in my life.  I was so unprepared for what we encountered, but we are over the worst and working towards the best! 

Ella seems to be growing quickly...we go back for her next visit on April 5th...so we will have more facts on her growth then....but she is past the wrinkly old man stage and moving towards the sweet chubby kissable stage!  Its so cute!

Ella communicates in the cutest way...she grunts...like a billy goat.  We laughed about changing her name to "Kid" since she sounds like a little goat!   Its really cute!  Her eyes are still blue (we are keeping our fingers crossed it stays)!!  And she still has all of her hair!  We love it....after she has slept a bit she looks like a little einstein because it is all fluffy and sticks up!  We still dont know who she looks like more...she has both of our tendancy's and is just so sweet and pretty! 

Stepping stones already....she can focus pretty good on mommy and daddys voices!  She turns her eyes and head towards us when we talk to her!  She is staying awake a lot longer during the day now too, wide eyed and curious!  She doesn't like much more than mommy or daddys arms, so we are working on getting her used to her swing and chair....might take a little longer then we thought!!

She is amazing and we love every minute with her!!!  I have to upload all the pics on my cell phone to my computer....luxury of having a camera on my phone equals failure to take some with actual camera.  OOPS!  Pics to come!

Our Little Piece of Heaven

Friday, February 25, 2011, at 6:26pm, was the most amazing day of Ryan and I's life.  Our beautiful little daughter, Ella Grayce Myrick came into our world and has changed it since the sound of her first little squeal in the operating room.

Ella came a bit early, 37 weeks, via C-section.  This wasn't how we had dreamed about our labor and delivery, but its what God had planned for some reason and we are thankful she is here, safe and amazingly beautiful.

Ella was 7lbs and 4oz.  She was 20 inches long.  She has beautiful dark hair with the cutest little cowlicks ever!  We are still trying to decide who she looks like.  She has a bit of both of us in her! 

We are absolutely in love with her and cannot describe our emotions and how incredible attached we are to her.  (We know all parents feel this way)!!!  We love to watch her and smell her and kiss her and love her!  Shes beautiful and dainty and pretty and perfect!

Here are a few pics to enjoy, once we are home and settled we will write some more!
