She is here! The next generation.

On April 27, 2011 Ella Jane Taylor made her way into the world and into my heart.  She arrived at 7:30 p.m. weighing in at 8 lbs. 3 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long.  Never do I believe that I have ever seen such a proud Daddy and a stargazed Momma when I first met Ella in person and hour after her birth.



She was so alert and her eyes wide open for just an hour old.  We giggled at how she worked her tiny tongue like she was searching for something in the air.  When the nurse unwrapped her to check her vitals we all found out that she was searching for her hands.  They passed by her mouth and she fixed in on them.  Yep, in the mouth they went!

I love this shot that Clarissa caught of her over my back/shoulder. She doesn't look brand new, does she?


Oh precious little Ella, I so look forward to the cuddling, reading, walking, singing, tea parties, cooking, crafting and just plain ol' learning from each other in the years to come.  I love you and I just met you!

Love so amazing!
