Ella Clapping

Ella LOVES the Silly Pizza Song from Signing Times (a show about learning to sign). Here is a video of her bouncing along and clapping to the song. Sorry about the wobbly video taping I did it with the camera. Enjoy I know I did :)

Miss Popularity on another play date!

Ella had her weekly playdate again with Sophia and Hayden. Here some pics of each of them hanging out.

Sophia loves Chewie!

Posing for the camera!

Hayden ready for the ladies!

We have had a fun filled Memorial weekend. We kicked off the weekend with drinks at Kyle, Angela and Hayden's house. Hayden slept most of the time, (good baby) and Ella got into everything. We were able to get a pic of Hayden and Ella together. We had a cookout Saturday and the babies all seemed to enjoy themselves ( I think the adults did too ;) Ella is working on her gentle touch. She gave poor Sophia some good swipes. Steve, Kim and Sophia had us over for a cookout today. Sophia stood her ground more on her own turf :) Ella is starting to pull up and stand A LOT more. Crazy what she can do in just one week. Hope every one's weekend was fun!

9 months old

A playdate at our house with Ella's beach buddies
Full of smiles!

Reading(eating/tearing) a magazine.

I can't believe my baby girl is 9 months old! She weighed in at 19lbs. 5 oz. and 29" long at her doctor's appt. She is starting to pull up to stand, which I am totally not ready for yet! We got the okay to start some table foods, so that should be interesting! She is already enjoying feeding herself puffs (cereal like) and likes to see how many she can get into her mouth at once. Each day is a new adventure for both of us!

Beach Buddies

Here are some pics from Ella's playdate with Hayden (almost 8 weeks) and Sophia (almost 5 months). These 3 are going to have some great times at the beach!

Am I cute or what?

Crawling

Look how she has grown!!! Since Ella has started crawling she is into EVERYTHING! She learned how to crawl and then the next week she learned how to turbo crawl. Her favorite thing to get is the cat, which is really the worst thing she can get if you know Ally. My day is spent redirecting, chasing and keeping up with my little adventurer. It is amazing to watch the wheels turning in her brain as she discovers something new on her hunts. She is growing soooo fast. Here are a few pics. The one of her swinging is the most recent (she LOVES to swing).

I will try my hardest to update with info. and pics. This way you can look if you want instead of me sending you pics through e-mail. I think sometimes I get picture happy and bug everyone :)
