Almost There

I just can't believe Ella is 11 months old today!

She is still the happiest, sweetest baby ever. She LOVES being able to go where she wants to now that she can crawl. We don't need a puppy, because we have Ella to follow us around wherever we go. In fact, I hate to admit it, but on occasion all three of us have found ourselves patting our knees saying, "Come here, Ella! Come on!"

She is getting very vocal now, and loves to express her opinions. With her newfound mobility, she has also learned how much fun Avery's toys are, much to her big sister's chagrin. Diego is often one of the casualties - headless and helpless (see above picture.)

Among other things Ella loves right now: Cheerios, practicing walking, putting anything and everything in her mouth, sucking her thumb when she's tired, and as cheesy as this sounds, Daddy, Mommy, and Avery. Her face lights up when we interact with her, and it is just so incredible to truly be the center of someone's world. What a miraculous gift her life is.
