Catching Up

Ella 10 Months Old

This is the best I've got so far for her 10 month old pics. We were going outside the other day and I had to set her down and she was very content just sitting in the grass so I thought I would take advantage.

Stats

So she was 15 lbs at her last appointment in December (I posted for her 9 month stats that she was 17 lbs and when I took her back to the doctor a week later she was 15 lbs.....I remember thinking 3 lbs in a month seemed like a lot to gain...so apparently they weighed her wrong whoops!)

She has two little teeth on the bottom and we were very relieved to see them the Sunday after Christmas because we had had about month of ear infections, cold, and cranky baby and couldn't see an end in sight so teething was a great explanation.

She is just LOVING eating food. Her favorites are bread bread and more bread, pears, and peaches, peas, rice, black beans...and really anything she can feed herself.

As you can see from these pictures Ella is enjoying sitting up and has no inclination to do anything else at this point! :) Actually it's probably more like Lance and I have no inclination FOR her to do anything else, we are really enjoying having a 10 month old who is NOT mobile yet. But we can tell that those days are numbered. Ella can roll over and has figured out that in our house that is all wood floors she can move herself backwards by just sliding on the floor. She is interested in everything she can get her hands on, and we've had our first few encounters with having to pull stuff like wicker baskets pieces, and rubber bands out of her mouth!

But she is still just our sweet sweet little baby who just adores her whole family. When Lance and I were in California and the older girls were staying with my Mom the one thing Mia would say every time we talked on the phone was how much she missed playing with Ella and when would we be home so she could play with Ella. The girls are both really sweet to Ella and love any excuse to "mother/smother" her :) But Ella takes it all in stride and doesn't seem to mind all the extra love.

Whoops the hat went down a little too far!

Making ice cream in a bag. You don't even need Rock Salt...who knew!

Well I think I'm finally caught up for the month! These are my last random little winter pictures.
