About Me

Hello! My name is Rhonda and I am married to a wonderful man, Michael. I can say he is truly my best friend. We were married on April 12, 2008. He has a son (my step-son), Josh who is 15 years old. We are blessed with such wonderful family and friends. We created this blog so that we could post activities and pictures about us. We look forward to sharing these things with you. We had a sweet baby girl, Ella Kate, on June 19, 2012.

Nine Months Old


Ella is 9 Months Old...
(March 19th)


You had your 9 month well child check yesterday, you weigh 17 pounds 4 oz and are 27 inches long.  You have NO teeth as of yet.  You are still wearing a size 3 diaper.  You are in 9 months and some 12 months clothes.  In the past 1-2 weeks you have become VERY mobile.  You crawl everywhere and are always wanting to stand.  You can take 1-2 steps by yourself.  You really like to hold our hands and walk.  




Daddy & Ella


Posing like a big girl & you love naps on the couch


Sitting up in your crib after a nap... 
"someone please come get me"

Mommy & Daddy

Eight Months Old (Late Post)

Ella is 8 months old...
(February19th)


You weigh approximately 16.4 pounds.  You are in a size 3 diaper.  You are wearing 9 month clothes.  You drink about 
4 oz every 3 hours still and then a 5oz bedtime bottle.  You love puffs and yogurt melts.  You still sleep through the night, sleeping 11-12 hours every night.  You love your paci, can't do without it!  You are becoming more and more mobile.  You have started scooting across the floor, I wouldn't call it a crawl yet, but you're almost there.





 We had some snow the beginning of February (2/16/13)...


Daddy went to the Daytona 500 on 2/24/13 so it was just me and you that weekend! 





Daddy's 1 year anniversary since his heart surgery was 2/27/13.




We went on a weekend shopping adventure in Williamsburg, VA with the Ayscue's, you and Hannah had a blast...


We took some pictures in the daffodil field on Sunday, 03/10/13, but you weren't feeling too well.  You had a little cold and wouldn't smile for us at all.  Oh well...


    


Just some random pics...

A sweet sleeping baby girl and like I said, you love your paci




Enjoying a swing outside on a warmer day & drinking your bottle while Mommy gets ready for work

We love you Ella!
Love, Mommy & Daddy
