Ella Bella

Now that Ella is on the move so much more, pictures don't always do her justice. We also wanted to share all the entertainment that we've been experiencing lately; she is turning into such the little girl. Watching her play really suggests that she's using her own imagination but mimicking what she sees in the world around her. For example, she picked up Erika's cell phone today and immediately placed it her ear and said "hi!". She also loves a gold bangle bracelet of Erika's which she'll place on her wrist and show it off. In fact, she'll restrict herself from crawling around just to keep the bangle on her tiny little wrist. It's pretty remarkable. Oh, and to see her give Cooper hugs! But did we mention hugs for mommy and daddy? Those just melt our hearts.

Here's a few clips of Ella......

Who Needs a Sippy Cup? Water from the faucet works just fine!





Oh, and when Ella doesn't get what she wants....here's a nice sequence of pictures:

Reaching the breaking point - notice how she's strategically placed herself on her tummy in preparation of the next move. Can't tell, but toys have been pushed out of the way. Very effective.

Breaking Point. Butt up in air and planting face into carpet really captures the moment nicely.

And not more than 2 minutes, all is forgotten and she's on to bigger and better things.....
