8 months old today!

I can't believe Ella is 8 months old...
We are coming around to hats and hoods again - thank goodness because the cold weather is setting in soon!
GO PHILS...

walking along the couch!!!

"All she wants to do is STAND, STAND!" Tonight she just wanted to stand and of course wanted that remote!!! Our girl is getting big so fast!!!

real crawling!!!

she has mastered the crawling without her belly having to hit the floor with each creep! Now she is even fast. Ella's favorite things to crawl to are; cords of any type(including my hair dryer cord), her penguin, Mr. Sun, or her mommy or daddy! She is truly mobile now! Her next milestone that she is working so hard at is being able to sit up from crawling. She is so close!

Pumpkin Patch With Friends

Today we went to Milburn Orchards to celebrate Christopher Columbus Day with friends. It was a true fall day (damp and chilly) and a great day for pictures! Three day weekends are the best - but it makes it that much harder to go back to school on Tuesday! Ella is now clapping, waving hello and goodbye and crawling forward without her belly. Dave and I laugh at her (with her) all day long!
