Fall Fun!
Fall is in the air. And at times, it feels like winter, especially these past few days! Here are some pictures of our little pumpkin!

Halloween
Ella was sick on Halloween, so she was unable to go trick-or-treating. Fortunately her daycare hosted a Fall Festival the week before and she was able to get dressed up! They had food, games, a petting zoo, and inflatables. Here are some pictures of the Fall Festival.
Ella's First Birthday
We celebrated Ella's first birthday at the Pelham Park with family and friends. We were fortunate to have the entire family drive (and fly) in for the big day. Here are some pictures!
Backtracking a Month
We are WAY BEHIND in blogging. I blame it on business, sickness, and pure exhaustion. Ella is 13 months old, but I never blogged about when she turned a year old, so here goes...
~ This was the month of two more ear infections, so we were referred to see an ENT specialist.
~ You cut two more teeth...the ones on both sides of your two top teeth.
~ Some new words are no, uh-oh, bye-bye, hi, hey, Dingo (although it is unclear, we know you are referring to him).
~ You YELL when you don't get your way.
~ Putting more things in your mouth, even things on the floor! You finally enjoy eating puffs.
~ We have to keep Dingo out of the kitchen when you eat because you like to feed him.
~ When we pat your back, you sometimes pat our back too :)
~ You still aren't walking on your own, but will cruise while holding on to things.
~ Even though being in daycare is making you have many sicknesses you love your friends there.

ALMOST a year old!
Well, this is Ella's last month before turning the big ONE. Time flies by...I know I say that often, but it really does. This past month has probably been my favorite!
~ You started daycare for the first time and you seem to really like it. All the workers rave about how you are a sweet, good girl who makes them laugh. The main comment I hear when I pick you up is how you entertained them with your MANY facial expressions.
~ You can hold your own bottle, although you don't always choose to.
~ You are still not wanting to try finger foods.
~ You do a better job eating your baby food in public and not as good while at home. You put up more of a fight at home...
~ Now that you are in daycare you will take a bottle anywhere without getting distracted.
~ You LOVE your daddy and get very excited when he comes home from work.
~ You have started being bashful/shy when meeting people for the first time (or if you haven't seen them in awhile). You put your head on our shoulder and hide your face from people.
~ You suck your toes more often this month.
~ A few times we have caught you crawling behind the couch. You start giggling and then pop your head up by the coffee table where I sit. You are very proud of yourself when you did this! But, because of safety, we have had to baracade your "entrance" so you don't get stuck back there.
~ You are walking really good while holding onto things.
~ You cut three more teeth. (Your two top teeth and bottom left.)
~ You got your second ear infection in the same ear as your first infection (the right one). Your pediatrician says you seem to have a slightly smaller ear canal in that ear.
~ You are much more cuddly now and we LOVE it! Maybe that's why this month is my favorite. You will let us hold you longer and you will give hugs and slobbery kisses.
~ You still love Dingo and want to cuddle him by laying next to him or sometimes on top of him.
~ You can crawl fast! Sometimes you will lift one leg up like you are walking while the other leg is crawling. It looks quite interesting and funny!

Hiking
Last weekend we spontaneously went to Oak Mountain State Park for a few hours. It is less than 10 minutes from our house! We weren't sure how Ella would do since she was recovering from an ear infection, but we were willing to take the risk. She LOVED it! Vinny used the Jeep Carrier to hold Ella and she enjoyed facing out and watching everything. She loved seeing people on the trail we hiked and got REALLY excited when she saw a dog!!! We hiked down to Peavine Falls and back, which was about a mile. Then we headed to the petting farm in the park. Ella stayed in her stroller and watched all the animals. She was very calm...I think she was fascinated by all the different animals she had never seen before. Here are some pictures from our day trip!
