Mommy and Daddy time

Aunt Jane was the official photographer for our first family photos. Mommy and Daddy are absolutely in love with their little girl!! 

Auntie Jane is here!

Aunt Jane (Kasey's sister) was the first of the siblings to see Ella. We had lots of fun playing games, giving Ella a bath, and taking advantage of every photo opportunity that we could. Jane and I reminisced about when we first became aunts. It was one of the happiest days of our lives to welcome our nephew Alex into the world. This is Jane's 7th time being an aunt, and she was just as excited for Ella to be born as she was for Alex. That's one of the greatest things about family-- the love just keeps growing!

Beautiful Aunt with her beautiful niece.

Family time!

When Ella was a week and a half old, my parents came to visit. We loved having them here! Ella is grandchild number 7 on the Costabile side. It's amazing to watch grandparents with their grandchildren, and seeing the immense amount of love they have for them. Grandma and Grandpa are welcome here anytime!

Ella's World!

Our sweet little Ella is now 5 weeks old!! We can't believe how much she's grown and changed during the last few weeks. Ella is a very content and happy baby who loves to be with her family. We LOVE seeing her precious smile, and watching every cute move that she makes. Being parents is a joy! We're still waiting for the time that she starts sleeping more than 3 hours at a time. When that day happens I'm sure we'll be back to our bright-eyed selves. Until then, we'll continue to cherish her through our rather sleepy eyes. :)

 Mommy loves giving kisses to Ella. Ella doesn't seem to mind. 

 Ella's talking to her friend, Lamby. Clearly Lamby said something crazy! 

Sleeping beauty loves her car seat. 

Ella and Daddy do stretches together everyday. She smiles and smiles when she gets to hang out with Daddy. 

Teeny tiny hands. 

One night after watching Jeopardy THE BACHELOR came on t.v. It's not a show that we watch, but we hadn't yet changed the channel. Ella couldn't take her eyes off the screen when the guy from the show came into view.
