Baby Ella's Firsts

Alright, I know its been more than a week or even a month but what can I say... We've got a new baby here at Pavel Studio's! Ella is really growing up fast. When she was first born I could hold all of her in the palm of my two hands, now she takes up all of the space I have in both my arms! But she is still just as beautiful as ever... If only I could invent a shrinking machine, then she could be my little baby forever.

But since I have been lacking on my blogging duties I thought to share a few images from the last month with you. Hope to hear from all of you soon.

Here Ella is sound asleep, the way she would stay for the first couple weeks... Wow, how things change abruptly!



This is our first four person family picnic. It was quite hot that day but enjoyable all the same.



Safe and sound in her carseat. We are very lucky that Ella seems to love traveling as much as we do. An eight hour car ride for her first vacation and not so much as a peep. Well... maybe only 45 minutes of peeping!



This was so cute that I just had to photograph it. After emptying the dryer I looked one last time and there it was, a tiny little sock barely large enough for my big toe still left in the back. What a great moment!



Ella's first portrait with all of her cousins and brother. What a great bunch of kids!



What do you think? Do we look alike? That is me on the left and Ella on the right.





Here is Grandpa holding the little princess! She already has the modeling poses down to a T!





"Sitting in the king coconut head chair, she reaches for her Coke... But wait, someone has drunken the last drop. Those darn rascally raccoons!"



"She is soo frustrated but too tired to deal with them now. Instead she falls back into her lapsidasical trance."
