Ella is 3 months old today!

Ella is growing up so fast! She is getting much bigger, and no longer seems like a little peanut to us anymore. She is really developing a personality, and we get to know more and more about her every day. She has been really interested in her hands lately - she likes to suck on them, but hasn't really found a finger or a thumb, just likes to suck on the back or side of her hand, slobbering everywhere. Ella has become increasingly aware of Griffin, and likes to watch him walking around while she's in her swing, or while he's running around in the yard. She's starting to enjoy playing with toys - shaking rattles and grabbing onto stuffed animals. Sometimes she lets out the loudest and highest pitched squeals that I think only Griffin can really hear them. This weekend Ella and I (and Griffin) went to New Hampshire, while Jamus was in Charlie and Tiffany's wedding in Connecticut. Ella did fabulously in the car both ways - slept almost the entire time. We were worried that a 6 hour car ride would be a bit much for her, but she did great with Griffin by her side. Ella got to visit her Mimi, Uncle Chris, Uncle Andrew, Papa, Grammy, Auntie Mary, Uncle Todd, and Cousins Ava and Jack (and a cousin on the way!).

Ava and Jack sang songs to Ella, and she absolutely loved it! She also made her first trip to La Carreta, her mommy's favorite restaurant! On our way back today, we got to meet up with some friends who went to the wedding, and Ella got to meet everyone. We got to visit our alma mater, Connecticut College, hopefully where Ella will be attending in 18 years! We'd love a little camel!
