During Ella Mae’s 6th week, she weighed in at 9 and 1/2 pounds, and went on her first road trips! Her first road trip was to Mankato, Minnesota and she slept the whole way there and the whole way back! Sleepy one was held and loved by friends during our day there.

Ella Mae spent time with her future dance partner and his mom, Chelsea Vize Lavelle! (Dance partner is yet to be named as he is in his 7th month of cooking, and poor thing was being SAT ON by our daughter! We’ll have to teach her some manners…) 🙂

Ella Mae also found many facial expressions!
Laughter!
Twinkle in the eye....
Serious
Observant
She went on an even LONGER road trip to Evanston, (Chicago) Illinois. She slept the whole way there, waking to feed and change diapers. While there, we took many walks and explored the city together. Jeff’s company adored her at the company party and even gave her an official Care Team Connect onesie! She kept us awake the drive home, but we managed to make it in one piece!

"Oh DAD!" Silly times
Home again, home again- we were TIRED!
At the beginning of her 7th week, she met grandma Diana and grandpa Mike! So many more pictures of their adventures to come, but a taste of what’s to come:
Ella Mae is loved by Papa Mike and Grandma Diana!
