Another fantastic and fun-filled week with our Ellie! Biggest news of the week is that she began crawling on her knees on the twelth! Also on that day, she learned how to walk forward in her walker! Very big day for Ellie! On the 13th, her sitter told me that she crawled on her knees for the first time over there, and she kept crawling to the front door (!) - smart girl, waiting for her Mama :)
One of my favorite things that Ellie has been doing for the last couple of weeks is giving me and daddy kissies.... she opens her mouth and suctions it to our cheeks and proceeds to "eat" them - our cheeks become all wet, and Ellie becomes all smiles. She can even do it on demand (when in the right mood!)
I took a video clip this week (below) showing Ellie shaking the rattle. I just find it amazing that a couple of months ago, I had taken a video of Ellie holding a rattle all by herself for the first time...I just love watching these little milestones take place...
- Sandy is now permanently residing at my mom and dad's home and Clara has come to stay with us. Clara is really starting to love on Ellie, and the house is a bit calmer now without two dogs running around it (and barking at each other) all day long :)
This is my new favorite dress...
And this is one of my new favorite pictures (above) - I know she's not smiling, but it's just super cute and beautiful...
Ellie loves to be in the kitchen with me. Now that she can get around easier in her walker, she pulls the towels off the counters and plays with plastic cups, plates, and tupperwares!
