Not-so-baby Ella

Ella is officially not a baby anymore. Yesterday she was playing on the bathroom floor, grabbed ahold of the bathtub, and pulled herself up to a standing position, plopped down, and did it three more times! We promptly set up the crib and packed away the co-sleeper. She loved the crib and looks so tiny sleeping in the middle of it.

Ella loves music and "sings" along. She crawls a couple steps at a time, and is very good about rolling and scootching all over the floor. She thinks the dogs are so funny and laughs whenever you make animal noises. She rides in the seat of the shopping cart and thinks that's just grand.

She is getting two more teeth (for a total of four), but she's getting the top canines instead of the top middle, so she looks like a little vampire baby. Ella still loves to snuggle and would rather be held than just about anything. She's getting quite good at feeding herself and LOVES food.
