Smile

Ella was to cute today in her coral tutu dress and flower headband that i had to capture some photos. She on the other hand did not find this very pleasant. Daddy helped her smile and pose:)

Ella is quite the little shopper and such a big helper...

I had the pleasure once again to attend the Genetics & IVF Institute Annual Baby Reunion which was held on May 12, 2012. This was our second time attending; as Ella will be 2 years old next month. We now look forward to this very special yearly event ! Our IVF/Microsort baby was able to enjoy the large production this year, which included clowns, balloons, face painting, food, the very special stuffed animal they hand out, and the extended family (the doctors who created Ella). I can never say enough wonderful things about these doctors who are so loving, caring, and just as excited to see the little humans they have helped bring into this world! We feel so blessed and love you all at the Genetics and IVF Institute. Here are a few photos of Ella and the men that we have to thank for her.

Americas Funniest Home Videos

So exciting! Our Microsort baby won Americas Funniest Home Videos and we fly out in 8 days for L.A. You can watch it October 23, 2011 on ABC. Wish us luck=)

I just wanted to UPDATE you all: we took 2nd place and won $3,000.00. It was an amazing experience! It aired last Sunday and El was awake to watch it, when her clip came on, she sat straight up and pointed at the TV! lol I can't wait to tell her all about it when she's older, but for now she has a few memorabilia pieces: stuffed gerbil the hotel gave her, AFV tshirt, and a copy of the show on DVD.
