Ella decided to grab her Bumbo chair and join the fun this afternoon. I grabbed my camera and got a couple pictures of her posed with some favorite friends. Mommy figured since she's always trying to follow my voice around the room she'd probably love to be right in the middle of things. She was right! As always, Max stayed close by to keep an eye on things (and to watch his back).
Us girls have been keeping to a tight schedule each week and they are flying by. I'm doing great in school and got a recognition of 'Student of the Week' last week. My teacher's very impressed with how well I'm doing in school! Ella's tons of fun and is completely in love with her big sis. The feeling's mutual. She follows my voice around the room and is always looking around to see where I am.
Let's recap the last month. Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and we had so much fun. We spent some time at the park, playing at the house and mining for gems. We didn't strike it rich but had a great time sifting through the rocks! Ella is growing by leaps and bounds. She's strong enough to sit upright for a few minutes if she's well supported...and if she's in the mood. We're excited to see what she has in store for us each day!
Ella and mommy came home on December 23, we were all happy they were home before Christmas! We're getting adjusted to a new schedule and used to a crying baby in the house. It's all a joy and I'm getting quick at putting my hands over my ears. Max loves the baby but, from what I'm told, he's much less interested in her than he ever was in me. The novelty is gone and he's getting much too old to care!
