Semi Lift Off

Well, Ella sure hasn't crawled. That has not stopped her from rolling to everything that she wants. On Thursday, she did take her first few steps. Prior to this, she thought lunging was the proper way to get from point at to point be while vertical. Might be good for the butt muscles... About the time we got the camera, she was getting tired, but you can see a few of those steps.



March 16th is quickly approaching. Ella will then be moving to the toddler room at school. While we hate to leave her current teachers, change is not always a bad thing (can you tell that Mommy has to keep telling herself that?).





Things are great in Georgia. Jobs are good, business is good, life is good. We feel very blessed to have the important things in life in the position they are in. Stay tuned for BABY ONE watch!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ella loved Valentine's Day. They had a heart pancake breakfast at daycare on Friday. She loved the pancakes. Imagine that...she is our carbo-baby:) Ella helped Mommy make cookies for the daycare people. When we took them in we saw people bringing in baskets of tulips. I guess next year we will have to bring rose bushes:)

Grandma Ann provided Ella with a weeks worth of Valentine's outfits. Everyone thought it was sweet that she wore an outfit every day. Ella does not lack in the clothing department.

Below is Ella EXCITED about eating cottage cheese. She takes after Mommy there!






Ella is doing great! She is "walking"...holding on, of course. Still not interested in crawling. Today she started "waiting" for us standing up, holding on, at the foot of her crib. It was pretty darn cute.

Of course, Ella's new skill set comes with a few bumps and bruises. She took herself a tumble at daycare and got a little goose egg and a scratch on her nose. To top that off, she took another tumble at home and added to her scratch on her nose. Ella is a tough cookie, though. Straight back at it.



Hope you enjoyed! One month and one day until Ella is ONE!!! Where did the year go???
