11 months!

Anytime now I believe we will have a walking baby! I don't think I am ready for that since it is further to fall, BUT she is getting SO heavy to carry. She has stood up on her own not holding onto anything several times and loves to push her leapfrog push walker. I have to get a video of that. It is so funny to see this little person just trotting along.
Her latest accomplishments are signing "all done","more" and says "hi" all the time. The last pic with her hands above her head is what she does when I say "ta-dah" Anyway, I could go on and on with her many tricks, but I don't want to be one of those moms :)

Ring - Ring Telephone

Grandma Gini got Ella a phone almost identical to the one I had has a kid-rotary dial and all. When you turn the number dial it makes a ringing noise and I say, "phone is ringing Ella who is it?" She now picks it up and holds it to her ear and says, "ooh" -which I believe is hello. For some reason the receiver cord is really short, so she basically has to pick up the whole phone to answer it. I think we will have to get a cordless phone after she masters this one and then of course we will move on to a cell phone.

(note-Ella is not really kept in a cage all day (gate in background of pics). We gate off an area of the living room that is not safe with a big gate and leave it open most of the time. She does occasionally go in the corral(closed up gates),so I can take a break from chasing her. Of course I sit in the corral with her :)
