Almost the big zero 1

Isn't she just the cutest!

She will chomp on anything!

Ella is 11 months old and it feels like this has happened way to fast. I feel like just yesterday I was feeding her every 2 hours, watching her sleep, and worrying over every little noise she mad. Now, she is eating like a big girl, trying to take only 2 naps a day but sometimes she needs a third and getting into everything. She is pulling herself up, crawling like a champ, putting everything in her mouth, and biting. I can't believe that she is biting this early but I tell myself that she is doing this because of teething but when she does bite and I tell her no she just looks at me a giggles. We are in trouble people. Her favorite food right now is mac and cheese and I mean love like she had a second helping tonight even after having cheerios, carrots, and peas. She is wearing 6 to 12 month clothes, so she is a little on the petite, just like her mother, ha ha. I will post some pictures soon.

10 months and counting!

Ella is 10 months and the milestones are coming one after another. She now has 7 teeth and tonight she had her first Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie, she loved it!

Happy Valentines Day

9 months old and precious!

Yesterday Ella Boo turned 9 months. She is waving goodbye and is even feeding herself now. I found out from Aunt Sissy that in 3 months she should be on all table food and no baby food. I am excited about that but I don't want my baby to grow up. I know, cut the cord.

9 months stats

17 pounds and almost 13 ounces

27 3/4 inches long

4 teeth

tons of smiles :)

Our Social Butterfly

Ella and her new friend Belle from Samantha and Brandon.

John and Ella sharing her big girl share that Aunt sissy got her for Christmas.

Ella and Pop Pop hanging out after only a couple of days after the blizzard, in a Subway!

John and Ella love to be with each other.

There they are again, hanging out, watching the tv, all they need is popcorn.

Pop pops and I were out with Ella this morning when our social butterfly did something new. She has always loved to watch people and will look around to see who is coming in or going out of a room. Well today, while we were out,a very nice man waved to her and she picked up her arm and open and closed her hand once. Dad and I were amazed but once can be a reflex right? Well then the man waved again and she waved back AGAIN!!!! Ella might not like to feed herself with her hands but at least I know she can move her fingers :)

Chritmas Has Arrived!!!!

Ella woke up like every other morning not really realizing what a morning it will be. I had butterflies in my tummy and could wait to see her reaction. We had both the video camera and the regular camera. The day was a blur but I will say having my family and my beautiful baby girl around me helped me to enjoy the day the best I could. I know that tat is what Mom Mom would have wanted.

First Day of "School"

Well I call it school but it is daycare. This morning I was all tears when I dropped her off but she was fine, even smiled for me as I was leaving! I must say, i am glad that I got job but working outside the home stinks. On a brighter note, Ella is getting her first tooth!!!! When I got home today I looked in her mouth and could see a little white. Bring on the steak!
