Rub-A-Dub Dub Dub, 'Lil Ella in the Tub!

Ella and her little tub may soon be graduating to the bathroom bathtub for her baths as she has become quite the little splasher these days. Her little, chubby legs managed to soak the kitchen floor with all her splashes this morning so while the bath left her all nice and clean, the kitchen was a wet disaster! Nonetheless, it was worth it. Her face just LIGHTS up when she sees that blue tub of hers filled with water. We have no doubt she'll love the swimming pool this summer! Erika snapped a few pictures and took a little video from the bath this morning - Ella looks so big in her tiny tub!

And another video....Ella is such the movie star- ha! This one is a real treat; if her little laugh doesn't bring a smile to your face well, then, you're just outta luck! There's a little surprise at the end, too...doh!

Here are a few pictures of Ella trying out her bumbo seat...she seems to like as she's able to reach for toys on the ground and remain in a sitting position.






Below are a few more pictures from the last week or so. Ella enjoyed a play date with some of her baby buddies last week and really enjoyed interacting with baby Lindsey who is just slightly older than Ella. Claire is working on her social skills still and just enjoyed small catnips in her swing and the occasional observation of her little friends.

...and enjoying some floor time with buddy Claire

So many babies! Lindsey, Ella, and Claire

All smile for the camera!

Sitting (or leaning!) from oldest to youngest!

Also, we enjoyed a night out without Ella on Saturday and treated ourselves to a date with the Hayken's at Rays, our favorite steak restaurant. It was de-lish! Afterwards, we headed out to an Irish bar with our friends to celebrate St. Patty's day - no green beer but it was fun to get out and enjoy a night out at the bars!

We'd also like to congratulate our good friends Steve and Rachel on the birth of their first baby, a little boy named ETHAN SHIA born March 3rd at a tiny 5 lb 13 oz! We are so excited for them and welcome them into the wonderful adventure and journey of parenthood...Happy BIRTHday little Ethan!
