First Pair of Stride Rites!!!

Grandma K. came in for a visit this past weekend and bought Miss Ella her first two pairs of "real" shoes! I've bought a couple of cutsie shoes from good old Target, but Ella's precious little feet are a bit "thick" and not many shoes fit her right. However, Grandma K. came to the rescue and she is now sporting some pretty dang cute kicks from Stride Rite.












She was more interested in the box!

Thanks Grandma!!!

Two Top Teeth

She absolutely did NOT want me to take this picture...but I needed it for her baby book!

Learning to Stand

Ella is pulling herself up on EVERYTHING. I don't think we'll have the freedom to leave her on the floor playing much longer.

Attempting to get up......

......up......

......and down!!

First Ponytail!!!

We've been waiting for this moment for eight months now and it has finally arrived! Ella's curl on top on her head is finally long enough to make a ponytail!! Now, I realize that it is a bit obnoxious, but maybe now people will stop saying, "Look how cute he is!!!"

Samson and Toby

David was working in the front yard today trimming back the trees and the boys just couldn't stand it. They wanted out of the back yard so bad!! How cute are they??









This one is my favorite.....so sweet!

New Outfit

I bought Ella some new jeans and an adorable little sweater at Once Upon A Child the other day and she looks super cute in them! She is now wearing 12 month old shirts and pants because her arms and legs are ridiculously long!!!









She wants to stand up so bad...but she hasn't quite figured it out yet.

This is her newest facial expression. She makes it when she is grinding her teeth together.
