First night with the babysitter!

Last night was a big first for us!  It was Ella's first night with her babysitter Monica (without Mommy being home)!  Brandon and I attended the Festival Ball - a Gala to benefit the City of Hope in San Francisco.  It was at the beautiful St. Francis Hotel in Union Square.  We had a great evening and Ella did great with Monica.  We could get used to more nights like these! 

Ella - 3 months old

Our little Ella is 3 months old already and we can not get over how much she has grown! She is so much more alert and smiles and laughs all the time!  She has rolled over by herself a couple of times, but prefers to be on her back for now! She still loves her swing and enjoys going on walks in her stroller and in the Bjorn (now that she can face outward)! She's traveled a little more with trips to Sausalito and Tiburon and even made her 4th visit to Napa!  She also had her first overnight trip with mommy and daddy for their anniversary in Half Moon Bay.  She is such a special little girl and we feel so blessed each day to have her in our lives...Lexi is even becoming a little fonder of having a sister around!

Half Moon Bay, CA - 3 year anniversary

Again we are a little late with our post, but I wanted to share a few pictures from our Anniversary trip (and our first overnight trip with Ella).  Brandon surprised me with a night at the Ritz Carlton at Half Moon Bay!  It was a great trip and we enjoyed being spoiled for the day!  Ella did great and she told us she can't wait for her next trip to the Ritz!

Ella's first time in the bjorn where she could face outward - she loves looking at everything!
