Ella at 11 Weeks

Ella turned 11 weeks on Saturday. She is cooing a lot more now, and will hold our eye contact and 'talk' to us and smile and go back and forth talking - it is sooo cute! She's also learning to turn her head to look at things and she'll swivel her neck back and forth to look at different things. One funny thing is that when I'm feeding her, she'll swivel her head to look at the fan, then eat for 1 or 2 seconds, then snap her neck back over to look at the fan and make sure it's still there - and repeat about 25 times! She is completely captivated by ceiling fans.

My mom was here through the week and gave me a chance to get a lot done, and really helped us with the transition into the crib. Steve's dad and Carole came to visit for the weekend and we had a great visit with them.

Some pics from the week:
