Two Babies

Here are a few pictures of Ella and me as a baby! My mom sent me this picture a few weeks ago. I think I see a few similarities! How fun!

Ella updates

Happy Saturday, all!

I regret that I don't really have any new photos to share with you :( Sorry!!!! Maybe I will get around to taking a few this weekend...

Time for some updates, though!

Ella is 8 1/2 months - wow!!! Two more weeks until our little darling is 9 months old... and then only 3 months until she turns 1! Can you believe it? I can't.... she is growing up WAY too fast! But a ton of fun in the process :)

Ella's new food that she has been enjoying:

strawberries and bananas - she was laughing when she was eating them! SO delicious!

eggs, potatoes, and green peppers - all mushed up together - YUM!

grapes - she LOVES these as well... peeled and in small pieces, of course!

And she's still been eating yogurt, bread, bagel and cream cheese, puffs, and cheerios :)

She is definitely mastering the art of army crawling - Ian and I were thinking today that she's getting so good at it, we're not sure if she'll be motivated to learn to crawl! Oh well - she's doing just fine :) And managing to find all sorts of things around the house!

I got pink slipped last week - not a big deal - we'll just see what happens from here!

Ella is doing great - she's had a bit of a cold, but is getting lots better! Today Ian is at the Mennonite Relief sale with his mom and dad helping to serve ice cream, and so I am taking Ella Bella shopping! Should be fun :)

We've also been running bunches together - her riding/sleeping in the stroller of course! I think she really likes it!

Anyhow - that's all for now! Time to get moving for the day!

Love

Laura :)

Crawling!

Good morning, all!!

It's Saturday, and as most of us know it, a BEAUTIFUL day! Supposed to get around 50 degrees here today! So that's wonderful!!

This past week, Ella has been working on her two lower front teeth, so cute! And also... drumroll please... she can now army crawl!! She can move to the toys she wants on the carpet - so that's pretty cute :) Now we definitely need to keep our eyes on her!!

Yesterday we bought tickets to go to California for Spring Break to visit Ella's Auntie Em and Uncle Andrew - they live right outside of Los Angeles, so that should be an adventure in itself!!! Ella's first plane ride! We are flying into Las Vegas, so we'll spend the night there, and then a night there before our return trip home - we think Ella will like all the lights :) Anyhow, it will be great for Em and Andrew to see Ella again - the last time they saw her was when she was just one month old!

Here's a video of our little girl with her army crawl -

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I LOVE Saturdays!

Love

Laura
