so the last week was CRAZY, and even that doesnt truly describe it. as i previously mentioned ella was able to meet a ton of family, including her uncle travis, great grandparents, great-auntie sally and last, but certainly not least grandma and papa hayman. she also spent her first thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family -- there was roughly 20 people there and we even caught sean "preparing" for fatherhood (in the near future, right rachel, lol???)
travis did great with ella -- at first he seemed a little nervous, but by the time he left today, he was a pro. we were able to get some super cute pictures of him holding her and we hope to see him sooner rather than later so that he can watch her grow up as much as possible.
lisa and roderick came on friday -- jon and i picked them up at the airport and couldnt have been more excited...it had been over a year since i had seen them and just under a year for jon -- so i know that it felt good to finally hug them and see them face to face -- not to mention it was the first time they were able to hold their granddaughter. ella took a special liking to her papa -- everytime he spoke or she touched his arms she would instantly calm down. lisa couldnt put her down either, ella just loved her to death -- and i know that we are going to miss their help around the house -- it was nice to have a break and to be able to sleep in while they were here :)
so today was it -- everyone went home -- and it was SO freaking hard to say good bye..thats always the worst part. roderick and lisa had to be at the airport at around 11, while travis didnt have to leave until 5 -- so we spent the day at southcenter mall walking around and had a GREAT lunch at the cheesecake factory..im still stuffed...as i drove him to the airport i had a hard time saying good bye and as i gave him one last hug i lost it and cried the entire way home...it had just been to freaking long and i love that kid so much..and its truly not the same without him..

ANYWAYS
ella is now seven weeks old and is growing like never before. she is super alert and loves attention -- i swear to you that i cant set her down for a minute without her crying -- and im praying i can break her of this by the time i go back to work cause daycare is going to be a nightmare if i dont. she is a super happy baby -- except that i think she might have a milk allergy cause she gets really bad stomach/gas pains -- so bad that she wont stop screaming until she gets a toot out...and sometimes she doesnt even go to the bathroom...kinda freaks me out...so friday we are going in to talk to her doctor about it...ill be upset if i have to stop breastfeeding her, but if that is what is doing it -- all i want is for her to be happy, ya know?
here are some pics from this last week -- enjoy...
