I am 22 weeks old!
Little bird continues to grow! This week was a whirlwind of activity: visiting her great-grandmother Elaine, meeting Pastor Ryan to discuss her upcoming baptism and seeing friends big and small. We had a brief foray into solid foods this week, and continue to encourage her to sit up on her own!
Visiting great-grandma Elaine.
Great-grandma was touched by the visit
She was quick to introduce her great-granddaughter to everyone in the home!
It was a sweet visit- we’ll be back soon!
Ella Mae also began trying out solids- with a very watered down rice cereal (thanks for the advice, Aunt Anna!) It was very fun watching the food go everywhere and Ella Mae tried her best to control the spoon as well! We’ve decided to wait until she can sit up on her own fully (she’s almost there!) before introducing more solids to her.
bibbing up and ready to go!

First attempt….
not so sure…
but she’s a good sport!
What a look!
Pastor Ryan of Bethlehem Covenant stopped by this week to discuss her upcoming baptism. Ella Mae loved her cuddles, his glasses and tickles!

Tickles!!
We had a playdate with Micah, as well! Being that Micah is one month older than Ella Mae, Micah’s movements are watched intensely and Ella Mae attempts to copy them when we get home. Thanks to our little friend, she’s now rolling from her back to tummy! (I credit Micah because he was such a roly-poly during our last time together.)
- Playtime with Micah!
Swapping secrets?
Good old soccer match
We had friends over for games and dinner. Ella Mae loved the extra loving!

While home, Ella Mae enjoyed her walks with mom, attempts at sitting up, and cuddles!
I can roll back to tummy AND tummy to back!
Thanks to our friend Erin for the warm hat- we need it for walks!
I can sit up…and fall over…
I reach for things!
I chew on things…
And I cuddle with mama
