Cutest Mall Cop

And the post-ice cream coma.

Ice Cream!! (Okay, Frozen Yogurt!)

Summer is in the air, which means it's time for Dandi-Lyons ice cream, or in the case of Ms. Ella, peach frozen yogurt...

What is this?

Um, okay...it looks interesting.

Big taste!

The spoon was too slow.

It's TOOOOOO cold.  Mommy is mean!

HA HA!  Just kidding.  I just messin' with you, Mommy.

Some New Random Ones

Ella is growing so fast every single day!!!  Here are a few new ones!

Our long... 

and happy bumblebee! 

Here, she even looks like the angel on her shirt. 

Trying to escape around Mommy's legs. 

Super cool baby.

Ella's First Trip to the Pool

With freezing cold water, Ella proved to be ever the little fish that her Mom is/was.

A nice family photo 

Mommy and her fishie 

Fascinated by the gigantic bath tub! 

Kicking with Daddy! 

What do you mean I can't go back in?

Seven Months Old!!

Here's what's new!

- I get puffs every day for a snack.  I pick them up with my right hand and then use my little fin to shove them into my mouth.  It's pretty effective.

- No interest in crawling just yet.  I tried and went backwards, so I got bored.

- I like standing!  It's my FAVORITE!

- I went to the MFA and saw a lot of pretty flowers.  I got to help Daddy with an art project!

- Still NO teeth. I don't think there are any in there.

- I love food, especially yogurt...

- ...and pizza

- I learned that if I cock my head to the side, people give me things.  It's my version of "please."

- I can sit in the cart now when we go to the grocery store.  Mommy says it makes me look like a big girl.

- I went to the zoo and saw lots of animals with my friend, Finn.

- My Daddy is still my best friend.

See you next month!

Love, ella

Here Comes Trouble!

Suddenly, Ella found stability while standing. Time to ramp up the baby proofing!!!
