Ashley Clay and Ella J: ella j's big weekend

This was Ella J's first true 'weekend' after spending all this week workin' with her dad.

She is doing great with her dad at 'school' (that's what we call it). She spends the day riding around in the Bjorn on Clay's chest, in the bouncy seat being loved on by her 5 older boyfriends, or in Aunt Autie's arms being soothed by a mama. The transition has gone really well. Clay really enjoys having her near him all day and I'm very happy to spend the evenings with her after a long day of work. We've relaxed a little this week about the independent sleeper thing as now the night isn't just about sleeping but making up lost cuddle time!
AND, Ella j is enjoying practicing her latest baby skill: rolling over from back to front! She is getting really good at it, but doesn't want us to take her picture quite yet :). We'll update you when she lets us.

The weekend after our family's first official work week was very relaxing. We went to this great pool in Austin at Reed Park and swam for Friday happy hour-much better than a hot crowded bar!
Saturday was spent sleeping and bbq-ing at a friend's house. Our friends Nicki and Gavin found a baby yoga class on Sundays so Ella J and I aren't missing out on those! We were very happy to spend sunday afternoon together at yoga. Check out the picture of Ella J in her first skirt!
Our little family is very busy these days but having a wonderful time together.
