11 MONTHS OLD!

One month until Ella is ONE! It is soooooooo hard to believe! She has grown and changed so much. Her talent this month is standing on her own. She is still unsure of taking steps, but we are practicing. She is into everything and explores everywhere! Sitting back and relaxing does not happen in this house anymore. Well, unless it is bedtime or naptime (I do love those times). However, I really love spending time with her. I swear she says "dog" and course "da-da" and "ma-ma". If I ask her where the light is, she will look for it. She will do the same thing if I ask about the dog. She is really beginning to understand. She continues to eat great and LOVES fruit! She can be sassy and will swat my hand away if she does not like what I am doing. Everyone says she "comes by that honestly". Am I sassy, no-LOL. She loves to be outside. I take her for walks in her little rider. She loves it and squeals in delight. She LOVES books, too. She will sit for a long time just turning the pages. She also likes music and will bounce ("dance") when it is on. My favorite is when she claps. It is so adorable! It is fun to entertain her and watch her smile and laugh. She entertains us as well, and we thoroughly enjoy it! She can make our bad days better, and we love every precious minute with her!
