Yes, it's true! Through a series of miraculous events, we have had the amazing opportunity to adopt another beautiful baby girl! Little Ella arrived on August 19th weighing in at 6lbs 6oz, 18.5 inches. We have been truly blessed!!!
“I believe in America. I am grateful for the Constitution under which this nation lives and moves and has its being. I am profoundly grateful that somehow for more than two centuries of time we have existed as a nation and grown to become the strongest and most free in the entire world. I am grateful for those men whom the God in Heaven raised up and inspired and who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to establish this nation and its government. I believe in America—one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. We are, of course, not without fault. We have more than our share of crime and of every other evil to be found on earth. I fear that we have become an arrogant people, but when all is said and done there is no other nation quite like this nation.”
I try to play dress-up with Lula but she hates it! She throws the biggest fits when I change her clothes! I wish she wasn't so content to be in a plain old onesie all day long! At least she lets me dress-up her hair. She is the best hat, headband, and hair bow model ever! She will sit in her bumbo and let me play with all her fun hair accessories to my hearts content! And thanks to our fabulous family members and friends, I have tons to choose from! So thanks Lula for putting up with your crazy mother who is so happy to finally have her very own "life-size" American Girl Doll!
Lula had her 2 month check-up and she is doing great! However, the shot part of the check-up was not so great! The poor little thing was just laying there being so good, thinking the nurses were there to play with her. Then they stuck those needles in her and she screamed like crazy! It was so sad! Thank goodness it's over!! She weighted in at 9 pounds 4 ounces and she is now 22 inches long. I'm certain she will pass me up in the height department by the time she is 10 years old! Lula is such a great baby! She has truly blessed our lives! Ruger is even getting better with her. Need more proof that she is a great baby? Well here it is...she has been sleeping through the night for over a week now! It's glorious! Oh, and have I mentioned that she NEVER spits up! How great is that?!? OK, I'm done bragging. Here are some cute snapshots of lovely little Lula!
