Ella!

Today we had a visit from some very special friends! Megan and Brandon and Nicole and Ella came over so we could all admire brand-new baby Ella. It was a pretty easy thing to do. Ella could not be any more adorable! She is just perfect, with a beautiful little face like an angel. She is so good-natured and easy going, I don't think we heard a peep from her all afternoon. All the mommies loved holding her, but turns out there was an unexpected baby lover amongst us.....Lizzy! Lizzy held Ella on her lap for most of the time, and the two cuties watched Snow White together. Ella even fell asleep in that contented arms-thrown-up way that tiny babies do. Lizzy was so gentle and such a snuggler! Even Peter, who has a legendary jealous streak, was smitten. He sat next to the girls for a long time, pointing and saying "baby" and "b! b!" (binky). Either our theory that he loves whatever Lizzy loves is true, he knew a kindred binky-spirit when he saw one, or he recognized a true beauty. Either which way, I think it's safe to say we all loved baby Ella!
