Busy end of Summer

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted - sorry mom! We've been crazy busy lately with dad's accident, planning our trip to California and work - I don't even want to go there! Any way here are some pics. of Ella over the last 2 months :) She's crawling like crazy, pulling herself up and standing up to everything, she even climbed to the top of the stairs this week (with dad right behind her of course). She cut her 2 bottom teeth on Oct. 1, right at eight months. She did really well too, a couple days w/ a low grade fever and a little cranky, but nothing we couldn't handle! She now eats whatever we eat, doesn't like to be fed w/ a spoon anymore. We learned a trick though, if we give her a spoon to play with then we can sneak a few bites of baby food in. She eats mostly bananas, carrots, & green beans so I'm worried she isn't getting full and isn't getting a whole lot of nutrition so we keep trying with the baby food, plus we have a pantry full of it! Ok, on to the pictures...

Ella - Sept(7mos) & Oct (8mos)
