Ella's second trip to Los Angeles!  It was a bonus trip to see the family as we were coming down for Kelly and David's wedding.  Ella slept ok last night.  She woke up a few times but I should be happy that she went right back to sleep after I fed her.

Morning Activities:  Ella awoke to another new surroundings (it's happening quick frequent these days) and wasn't too scared.  She is such a fun baby in the morning.  It's probably the best time to play with her.  The best picture I have of Ella is her sucking on this big red plastic cup.

Afternoon & Evening Activities:  We were originally planning to leave at 12:30pm to meet Kelly at the nail salon but we decided to stay longer as Ella finally went down for a nap (she was fussy).  It was getting close to 3 so we ended up having to wake Ella up and drive to the Hotel.  We were fortunate as Ella behaved the whole car ride there (she was giving as a dirty diaper so her concentration was elsewhere). 

Ella stayed in the hotel room with Brian as I went down for the rehearsal practice.  Poor Brian (she cried the entire hour) was exhausted when I returned.  We let Ella nap for about 20 minutes and then took off to the rehearsal dinner.  Ella did well and even played with some of the guests ;)

We left the dinner early as Ella started to get fussy.  Ella went to bed pretty early so it was nice to sleep early as well!  We got a room with double queen beds so Ella slept in her own bed.
