Weekend fun

We had a nice Memorial Day weekend filled with lots of events. My parents were in town although I don't have any pictures to prove it :(

 

Saturday we checked out the Milwaukee Kite Festival

Sunday we checked out our favorite flea market and picked up some good finds!

Today we checked out the Milwaukee Domes!

11 Months Old!

11 down, 1 to go!  Where has time gone???  I can't believe her 1st birthday is almost here!

As usual - this picture was taken on her 11 month birthday, but it is hard to find time to blog these days!  We are happily busy these days :)


Ella really is such a happy baby, she really only gets cranky when we take things away from her that she isn't supposed to have.  Lately she loves to carry my keys on our way in and out of daycare and when I take them away (you know, to use them) she is not a happy camper.  But she calms down after a few moments.

She LOVES to be outside, now that it is getting nicer out we have been trying to go on evening walks and she just sits in her stroller and babbles and laughs the whole time as well as squirming all around to try and see everything.

These days I think she is small for her age, she is still just getting into 9 month clothes, and I just today packed up the 6 month stuff (always hard!).  She doesn't go to the Dr. until her birthday, so I don't have exact measurements right now.   She wears a size 3 diaper.  She is still an amazing sleeper, we are so spoiled!  I can't remember the last time we got up in the middle of the night with her (although that is probably jinxed now!).

She is still pulling up on everything, crawling like crazy and babbling more and more words.  She hasn't taken any steps yet, but she is standing on her own for a few seconds, so I feel like she will be soon.  She is such a joy!

Swinging!

Today we took Ella to the park for the first time and went on the swings! I'm pretty sure she loved it :)

Smarty Pants

Today as we were leaving daycare, without prompting, Ella waved and said "buh-bye!" to her teachers.

 

I'm so proud to be the Mom of this smart little beauty!

(She also says 'hello', 'good job', claps, and gives high fives!)
