Happy 9 Months, Ella!

Ella is 9 months old today! It seems like she has learned so many new things in just the past few weeks. Ella isn't crawling on her hands and knees, she is still scooting around on her tummy. But now she can go from her crawl position to sitting up (Mommy's favorite thing to watch!). She can then pull herself up to standing on mostly anything (a chair, the couch, your leg) and will cruise around if she can. She still hasn't figured out how to get "down", though! She loves to walk around house holding on to anyone's hands. This is especially useful when chasing cats.

Ella is also very vocal. She chatters constantly and likes to giggle at her kitties. Her favorite word is "La La". :-) If you say "la la" back to her she will laugh and laugh.

Ella has really taken to Bruce and Keola. The other when we got home from grocery shopping (Ella, Daddy and Mommy), Ella just about leaped out of Mommy's arms to get to Bruce!

We can't believe it's already been 9 months. One year is just down the road....
