43 Weeks





Ella had lots of visitors this week. Mamaw, Aunt Susie, Grandmo, and Maggie came to visit Wednesday. We had a great time playing and then we went to Hawaiian Falls with Grandmo and Maggie. Thursday Nana, Gran, Maggie and Grandpa all came for a visit too.


Two of Ella's favorite things: her sippy cup and climbing on the couch. I don't know if she really drinks much out of her cup, but she loves carrying it around.



I got Ella this little push toy on Friday. She seems to like it.


Ella is very into her hands right now. She's alway clapping, pointing or waving. She suddenly loves patty-cake and itsy-bitsy spider. We clap for her whenever she does something good, so she has started clapping for herself. It's hilarious.

Danny and Avery and Dahlia, Alicia, and RJ came over on Friday. Ella loved playing with all the kids. She took a few steps trying to chase after Avery. RJ and Alicia were building blocks for her to knock down, which she loves of course.


Ella cut her third tooth on Friday, the top, front one on her left. The one on the right isn't far behind. She didn't really seem to have much trouble with them. She was pretty restless Tuesday and Wednesday night, I don't know if that was related to the teeth.


She's been saying Momma a lot more. It's not just "ma ma ma" anymore and she seems to associate it with me now, mainly when she wants to nurse.


Ella is still taking a few steps here and there. It's mostly when she's distracted by something she really wants and she just forgets to hold on and will stand and/or take a few steps by herself. If we try to make her do it, she gets kind of rude about it. I guess she'll do it when she feels like it!
