Miss Ella is 11 months old today!

I had to write a post today, because I can't believe that our baby girl is so close to her 1st birthday! She turned 11 months old today and boy does it show. She is quickly approaching toddler hood. She is all over the place! She crawls up, down and even inside things. She is cruising the furniture and even getting brave and will let go for a few seconds. She recently got a new baby doll stroller push toy and is having a lot of fun pushing it around the house. She is not to interested in the baby doll though, as we find it thrown in the corner or she is chewing on it!

Some new accomplishments this past month were learning to say: Mom (very clear), go, baba (we think that is bye-bye), and "yeah" when she claps her hands. She has also mastered doing "so-big", shaking her head no, and waving! It is so fun to have her do her tricks. Although when all the boys start asking her she gets confused and will mix them up! She also loves any type of ball, and giggles when she sees Dora the Explorer. Very cute....

I can't help but think back to this time last year when I had a high risk pregnancy and was in and out of the doctors office for tests and having to count fetal kicks....how stressful! I am so thankful that she arrived safely and our family has been so blessed by her addition.

Coming up soon for Ella....HER 1st birthday!

I tried to get a picture of Ella to post today, but she would not sit still! So I thought it made sense to capture that!
