These Days

We have fallen into quite a comfortable pattern around here.  It's nice, and Ella definitely thrives on routine (extra plus for me!).  Her new-found mobility gives her lots of independence and opportunities to explore.  And she's gotten to be quite a social butterfly and loves going out to see friends and having people over to visit.

Another play date with her BBF (Best Baby Friend), Madelyn.  It's so neat seeing them interact more and more each time we get together.

Having discovered the pugs' gate, Ella likes to plan her prison break on a daily basis.

Sigh, my baby loves hugging furniture.

Helping me organize our cookbooks one Sunday afternoon.

Time with Grandma.  Ella LOVES her Grandma, and reading books is on of their favorite pastimes.
