8 Months!

Ella is crawling, standing, holding her toothbrush independently, saying hi dada, giggling, and clapping!  She is become less and less baby and more toddler-like with each day's passing.  It is amazing to see how quickly she is developing new skills and awareness of the world around her. She is such a little explorer and her curious nature is truly amazing.  Each and every day is a new discovery for her, and it is such a pleasure to see the world through her new, discovering eyes!

We celebrated our 9th anniversary a few days before Ella turned 8 months.  We had a great weekend up in San Francisco.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for letting Ella spend the night at your place!
