Giggles

Ella's got the giggles!

Ella and her car

This is from a few weeks ago, but it's so cute. Ella is booking it down the sidewalk. And see how tough she is? She just gets back up when she takes a dive!

Trick or treat

For Halloween Ella went trick or treating on our block. But instead of asking for candy, we collected food for the local canned foor drive. We had a stroller full! She had a good time meeting all the neighbors!

Fall in Seattle

Ella and I went to Greenlake today for a photo shoot. I think you'll enjoy these! Ella didn't mind sitting in the leaves, but the instant I laid her down she was none too happy.

Ella Walking! Well, with a little help.

Ella is starting to put it all together. Yesterday afternoon, after a big day of swimming, she decided she was ready to take a few steps. She stood up with her little car and holding onto the bar, took 4-5 steps before falling down. Next thing we knew she was doing laps around the living room. SHe needed a little help with steering, but other than that she was like the energizer bunny, going going going. Trying to get her to go to sleep that night was fun ! :-)

Ella's a Rockstar

Last night Ella had a marathon dance session. She was out of control! For those of you who don't get to see Ella very often, meet the real Ella. She is such a spaz on a day to day basis...I'm just waiting to get kicked out of Gymboree because she's too enthusiastic and she runs over another baby...seriously though it could happen.

Ella learns to play peekaboo

So, one day Ella just started playing peekaboo back to me! After months of doing it to her she began to show that she understood what I was doing. So, while we were camping at Deception Pass State Park she showed Damon how to really play peekaboo!
