Our first attempt at having the girls take a bath together failed miserably as Mikayla was not use to sitting in the bath tub (she's use to her baby bath tub). However, our second attempt was successful until Ella got splashed in the face by Mikayla and wanted out of the bath tub. ;)
Mikayla love to splash! Ella does not.

I love babies in their diapers pictures. Especially when there are more than one baby wearing nothing but diapers. Here are a few pictures of Ella and Mikayla playing with toys while only in their diapers.
We're so happy to have our family from LA visit for the long weekend. Especially since we got to see baby Mikayla!
The last time Ella saw Mikayla was back in March for Hieu and Ruby's wedding. Back then, Mikayla wasn't as mobile and Ella was just learning to walk. Fast forward five months --> Ella is walking and Mikayla is trying to walk.
On Saturday morning, Ella was greeted by Uncle Mike, Aunt Mayelle and Cousin Mikayla. It was super cute as she really liked Unlce Mike (asking him to sit next to her, giving him toys, etc.). As Mikayla woke up to join the party she didn't seem too happy to be sharing her toys let alone the attention.

By the end of the morning, Ella didn't mind her cousin as she had a house full of uncles and aunts to play with. Good times!
Traveling Baby Ella - Los Angeles Day 1
We left for the airport at 4am this morning (thanks Amber for driving us!) and got to experience the new Terminal B at the Sacramento International Airport. It's over the top and reminds me of SFO. After checking in, you have to take their shuttle to the security/boarding gates. If your traveling on Southwest, better give yourself an extra 20 minutes just to get use to the new routine!
Our flight departed on time at 6am and we arrived at Ontario at 7:15am. Ella did great as she slept during the entire flight. Uncle Mike picked us up from the airport and we went straight to Mike and Mayelle's apartment. Ella was greeted by her Grandpa Frank.

We spent the entire morning and afternoon at M&M's apartment - Korean dramas, naps, rice cereal, playtime with Mikayla and hanging out. What a great first day of vacation.

Grandma picked us up at 5pm and we came home in time for dinner and playtime. Ella got lots of love and attention at Grandpa and Grandma's house.

Tomorrow - visiting great grandparents, baby Mikayla, and more playtime with grandparents.
Day 3: Ella's 3rd Trip to Los Angeles
We spent the morning cleaning the house while waiting for Johnston to return from Midas (being in LA without a car is very unproductive).

About 11am we were finally able to get a few errands done for Michael and Mayelle. Went to Marshalls, Costco, Michael's place, Target and Wendy's - Ella did awesome during the entire 4 hours of errands. We got to the hospital about 2pm and got to see Mikayla again.

We left the hospital about 5pm and spent the evening playing with Ella's grandparents. Ella enjoyed being fed by her grandma and playing with her grandpa.
