Spring Time

I am trying to catch up...most are pics from May and June.

Vegas and Tiger Woods lounging

Ella loves climbing the stairs!

I put her in this cute outfit and thought I would take some pics of her outside. It was the first time she had been in the grass. This face explains how she felt about it.

She was much happier inside!

Dad with Ella on his birthday

celebrating Mike's birthday with the family

Although she won't do any of the fun things I teach her in front of anyone, we did manage to catch some things on camera...clapping

When asked,"Where is your pretty, red hair?" she rubs her head like she has a luscious full head of hair. So cute.

still rubbing her pretty, red hair

sticking out her tongue...she really likes to do this with a mouth full of food

hanging out with Mom at Centennial Park

Happy Easter!

Ella is now 10 months old! I can't believe how quickly time flies! I forgot to update with info from her last Dr. appointment. At nine months she weighed in at 18lb 3oz and was 27 1/2 in long. She is busy crawling and walking while holding on....which lead to her very first black eye. She can say Dada (of course) and bye-bye while waving. She also imitates my elephant sound and throws her arm in the air for the "trunk". And, although these things are all very exciting for me it really doesn't matter because she won't do them on call in front of others! Oh well, what can you do? Anyway, here are some pictures from Easter and some other cute ones from this month.

I loved this dress and she made it all day without puking or pooping on it! Yah!

Trying on her new shades!

So happy that Uncle B could come home from Detroit!

This is Ella cruising in the new joggin stroller she got for Easter! So spoiled!

Ham!

Ella climbing the stairs...I can't believe how good she is at it. I'm not sure what's with the face.

Playing with Jackson's blocks.

If you look close you can kinda see the remnants of the black eye that she got by pulling over the kitchen chair. It was terrible...I wish she could wear a helmet at all times!

Hangin with Jackson

Ella was having lots of fun playing with Andrew...but I don't think he was too keen on her playing with his new carrot bat!

What Ella Has Been Up To...

Aunt Juanita, Ella and I took advantage of a nice day and headed out to the zoo!

Sitting on a turtle.
We actually caught a smile

There were plenty of other animals but this is the only picture I took.

Although Ella liked looking at the animals she was more interested in the zoo map.

A warm day at the park! She really wasn't happy with the swing at first but she warmed up to the idea after she figured out the concept.

Playing outside at Maddox's birthday party. She really was having fun riding in this car but this is the face she gives for the camera! Oh, well.

Grammy and Ella

Happy 2nd birthday to Maddox!

Just hanging around the house.

Trying to feed herself

It just tastes better when you wear it!

Watching the football games at Paterson Park

Ella and Rebekah. She was a little cranky since it was nap time but she warmed up.
