ELLA is ONE!!!!

I can't believe it has been a year since we were blessed with this precious, perfect little girl. Time sure flies when you are having fun, that is for sure. Ella is developing a huge vocabulary, saying everything from turtle to please and all kinds of things in between. We had her first birthday party and she enjoyed the cake but I think she liked the ice cream better!

Crawling Turtles!

We had a FUN Halloween and Ella Grace was a turtle. She is moving all over- picking up new words here and there- she now says "ME!" when she wants something. She is more precious every day and we are so blessed.

It won't be long..........

before she walks that is!! She is trying like mad to pull herself up and can pretty much make a lap through the whole house crawling in NO time!!

Crawling Machine

Ella Grace is now an official Crawler!! She is moving faster than we can keep up with her. She is loving daycare and keeping busy exploring with her new skill.

She is saying mama, dada, Hi Bo, and Bye now. :)

MAMA

I am saying Mama all the time now.... We are working on Dada!!

Learning to Fly....or Crawl :)

Ella is now up on all fours with some help and will rock back and forth. She thinks this whole thing is pretty neat but she still isn't ready to actually crawl yet. Mama and Daddy can't believe how quickly she is changing and growing into a big girl.

Where does the time go??

Chad and Britt on Vacation in the Bahamas

Ella is 8 months old now! I can't believe it. She learned to wave while Mommy and Daddy were in the Bahamas on vacation, and it is so cute. I picked her up at daycare yesterday and she started waving hysterically as soon as she saw me! I started back to work this week and start teaching next week for the fall semester. I hate ot have to leave her again but my schedule is very flexible so that is a blessing. Chad is still enjoying his job and keeps busy taking care of the yard and house in his time off.
