She walks some more!

Today Daddy used some favorite toys to get Ella to walk to him, and walk she did!!!

She really walks!!

This morning I saw Ella taking baby steps away from the coffee table! It took my breath away. I immediately got out the camera and tried to capture her doing it again, and I did! She only takes a few steps, but they are definitely steps. I think the television helped her to forget to drop to her knees and crawl.

This is my second attempt to get something on camera. She takes a couple steps but then she falls--still cute!

She walks!! (sort of)

Here is video of Ella using her "walker" tonight. She has been using everything she can find--a chair in the doctor's office, her stroller--to help her walk around, so I went and bought her one of those convertible walkers. When she is tall enough, it converts into a little car she can sit and ride on.

The Bookworm and the Traveler

Ella has become quite the bookworm! She loves to sit and flip through her books. Her favorite books right now are ones with little patches of various textures she can feel. She has an animal one with all kinds of fluff and fur on each page. In the video below, Ella is flipping through her Dr. Seuss book.

Ella is also quite the traveler these days. She walks all around the living room with the help of the coffee table, her larger toys, and Mom and Dad.
