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!
