Routine

Ella's been in our lives for over two months now. It's hard to believe, the time has gone by so quickly. Melody has been back to work now for a couple weeks, and we are adjusting to everyone's new schedule. She is only working four days a week, so she gets nice three day weekends with Ella. It is still hard though, every Tuesday morning, to leave Ella. We feel more busy, and it can be hard to find time for everything, but we are doing as well as can be expected I think. It feels like we're settling into a nice routine now. Also, Ella's had some firsts in the past few weeks (see pics below). Overall, we are adjusting to Ella and her patterns, what she needs, etc. We no longer worry about every little cough, round of hiccups, or "bathroom no. 2 regularity." And I think she just might be getting more and more comfortable with us as her parents too! We couldn't imagine life without her! Attending her first B-Day party at the park. It was over 100 degrees there. Daddy giving Ella a bath for the first time by himself. At a Teppan syle Japanese restaurant in Pasadena for Auntie Irish and Uncle Clint's engagement lunch.
