Ellie's First Step

I don't have a video or pictures to share, but Ellie took her first step on Sunday. Jason and I were sitting on the floor with her and she very carefully stepped forward and stayed up! Yea! She's taken a few steps since then...so cute! I'll try to get something on video.

More Pictures of Ellie

Here are a few pictures of Ellie. She is growing like a weed and doesn't really look like a baby anymore.

Ellie's first Wildcat gear! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Randall!

Ellie had a cold last week so her eyes were teary and her nose was runny. She tried Mac N' Cheese for the first time and loves it!!!

The weather has been so nice this past week! We walk to the park down the street every day. She's getting used to the baby swing...I think she actually likes it now!

I think I might post a poll on what Ellie should be for Holloween! If I can figure out how to do that...look for it in the next week :)

Ellie is 10 Months Old!

Ellie turned 10 months old last Monday...and her first birthday will be here before we know it! Where has the time gone? Here are some things she's interested in lately:
- She knows how to turn on the tub faucet, and talks to her reflection often.
- Her babbling includes "Ga Ga" which we believe is her attempt at saying "Baby Beluga"...one of her favorite books. I've heard her say "all done"... "dog"...."ka" for cat..."go" and a few other words. Even though I know she's just babbling, I still like to try and figure out what she's saying.
- She likes to unroll toilet paper. I think she picked that one up from Stewie.
- She tipped over the house plant that was the last "not baby-proofed" item in our living room. Now it's sitting in our bathtub until I find a better place for it.
- She's really good at eating finger foods...little pieces of green beans, bananas, pears, chicken, etc.
- She is standing on her own for a few seconds at a time and cruising around holding onto the furniture.
- She is picking up hyper genes from, I'm guessing, both of us! Oh no!
