Better Late Than Never

Phew. And we thought it would never happen. Just too bad we missed seeing it in action! This morning Ella officially rolled over for the very first time. Yes, yes. Most babies roll over around 3 months and yes, Ella is just about 6 months but who's counting anyways? We suppose Ella just had so many things to "say" and do to enlighten us that she was just saving the best for last! Why give it all away if you don't have to?!!?! And so, what a tease since neither of us saw it......Tim was out walking Cooper and Erika stepped out of her room for seconds (literally to grab something off the chair right outside her room) and low and behold, one "second" she was on her back and the next second she on the tummy. Erika did a double take and then just gasped, not believing she had missed the moment we've been waiting for so long! Ah, the little Ella!

Now, in case any doubt remains that Ella is not her daddy's little girl, you'll have to view this video. It's one thing to look like her daddy, but it's another thing to act like her daddy....let's just say we'll have to start hiding the beer once she becomes mobile!

Also, we're so thrilled for our friend's Andrea and Greg who had their first little baby on April 1st! Jackson Wyatt made his way into the world and is quite the little cutie. Ella and Erika made a visit last week to meet the little guy and congratulate the new parents....Congrats!!!!

Ella is so big next to Jack!

The happy new family of three...!

Here are a few more pics from the weekend. We took a break and had oysters and wine with Sandra and Shaun at Old Ebbitt, one of the best places in DC for oysters and a real treat for us! It was an early evening for us though since Tim had to get back to Ella and Erika had to get to bed to get some rest for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler run on Sunday. It was Erika's first night away from Ella (!!! And Tim managed great!!!) while she stayed at Meredith's so they could get up bright and early on race day. Although it was rainy throughout the race, the girls faired better than they thought and crossed the finish line feeling great! We met Sandra and Shaun for brunch at Whitlows for a post race celebration (sausage and eggs never tasted so great!). Now we're ready for the GW Classic at the end of the month! Wahoo! Let's just hope it's dryer weather...!
