Guess what????

*THE ABOVE WHITE BABY IS NOT MY CHILD!
However... tonight I made a discovery. One that looks ALOT like the picture on the left! I am giddy. Ella has made such incredible progress with her development the past few weeks this is the icing on the cake! I might not think that in a couple of weeks as my child does bite!

Ella and her kitty Ollie

They are still buddies even though he gave her the first ouchie! At least the first not counting the thousands given by medical personnel!

9 months

At NINE months Ella is now sitting independently (for the most part), rolls in both directions, is good at getting toys that are just out of her reach, is becoming more opinionated, and eats solids like crackers, puffs, and dried yogurt. She is still a very happy baby and loves to jump and also loves her pets. She giggles when she sees them. She now also extends her arms out to be picked up. Her favorite food is bananas. She has been spitting less and drooling and chewing on things more. Her hair is coming in thick and very curly except on the back and sides where she is still mainly bald, although now she sleeps on her stomach so it may not be long before she gets it in the back. She is now wearing size 3-6 month and actually fitting in them. Still very small hands and feet. I may need to go to baby gap one of these days and get some more socks to get through the winter. So far they have proven the best at actually fitting and staying on those little feet of hers.

Sitting!

As of today I am going to consider Ell oficially a "sitter".

First Cracker

About a week ago I decided to give Ell a grahm cracker. She did awsome with it! So of course now she insists on things like crackers, puffs, and cheeto-looking things as nearly her entire diet. Great!
