The challenge of two working parents and a growing little beauty! It is hard to find the time to keep up, so I will attempt to keep a monthly tab on our sweet girl! In her 7th month, Ella grew a little bit, said a few new words (and blew many raspberries!), and ate more food! Nola dog is not too sure about her mobility, which resulted in Ella’s first big boo-boo (a scratch to the forehead). She also got her passport, ready for some international travel this summer! She continues to smile, chat away, crawl and walk us around by both hands.
Ella is standing on her own with wobbles for a few seconds at a time, and feeds herself quite messily. She can pull to stand, which also meant a lower crib. She wasn’t too sure about that, but got used to it. She also began to ride in the grocery cart seats, which was thrilling and a bit scary. Ella’s normal reaction to new things is fear, but then she warms quickly.
so playful in her exersaucer!
Ella riding in the seat at the grocery store, what an adventure!
We think she liked the seat at the store. Such independence!
These eyes spell trouble!
Ella so wants to stand on her own!
During one of the weeks when daddy was out of town, we had many cuddles
goodness, the faces she makes!
We finally took a walk when the temperature rose to 30 degrees. Blissful!
Ella loves helping mommy cook- she’s a loud sous-chef banging her pots and lids!
Ella and her godfather Michael
high five!
face grab
Ella loves pulling at faces
Michael loves Ella
OUCH!
Yet another snow day- after a blizzard tore into town,this is the face that greeted me the next morning. A fun mommy-daughter day ensued!
Ella Mae can sit up on her own!
Our neighborhood after another blizzard- Ella has had quite a first winter!
We took a walk after the blizzard- Ella was not so sure about the white white snow and the cold cold wind
After the blizzard, we had to change plans to go up north to a cabin with friends. Instead, we went to each others’ homes and played! Ella with Micah
Micah, a month older than Ella, is not sure how to play with our little girl
love these looks!
Right before this, Micah crawled over Ella to get to a toy- she was unfazed.
