Trying something new

I thought perhaps you guys might like this...I remembered that our camera can take video, so I tried to catch some of Ella standing up by herself. The lighting is really bad, but you can make some of it out.




Here's another couple of videos, where the lighting is better, but she decides to ham it up rather than stand.

I'll try to do this ever so often, if people like it. Let me know!

Steve

Something is happening...

Today was a great day, I was able to get some things done and we were both able to talk and see our families through the computer. Well after our fun visits I found something very interesting and sharp inside Ella's mouth. I could be wrong but me thinks it's a tooth!
YEA!!!

But it does make me a little sad, it means she is getting older and before I know it she will be one. I can't get over how fast time goes by.
Earlier today I could help but take some pictures of her.

Seven months and standing

Well she can't completely stand on her own but that doesn't seem to stop her from trying. So much has happened just within 2 weeks: she rolls better, sits better, and climbs her way to standing while holding on to something or someone of course.

She is fearless
She loves to smile
She doesn't like carrots (yet)
She is amazed by the smallest things and is amazing
She loves to go on walks with mommy and daddy
She says, "da da and ba ba."
She can make you smile,
but watch out she's a spitter

The rest of us here are doing well...Steve continues to amaze me with his will and willingness to further his education by taking classes to get his Master's. It also looks like we will get some house projects done soon and I am so excited. I've been keeping busy with some things. I have gone back to work on Saturday's at my old job and a new one every other Friday. It has been nice getting out of the house for a couple of hours. Other than that I've had to take a break from knitting..."a monster was created." In the mean time I've been working to improve my culinary skills. Oh I got a new pair of shoes and they were on clearance.

Today I took Gabriella to the Health Dept. to get her booster shot for the Flu. Our pediatrician's office was out so off we went. It's never fun to get a shot and Ella did pretty well considering. She was such a good girl today that daddy bought her a new toy.


(Side note)
This morning was pretty interesting. As I got up to give her a bottle I noticed this awful smell...yes oh yes there it was, EVERYWHERE! POOP! Poop on her legs, poop on her arms, poop on the side of her face, and all over her shirt front and back.
It was so nasty.
Lucky for all of you I didn't take a picture, it would have haunted you. It is best to leave you with this image of her...ENJOY
