While I have a minute...

This picture makes me want to kiss her cheeks...

Ella loves to look at the door and watch the trees and cars pass by...

Smiling pretty for the camera...

Shelby is cut out of this picture for some reason, but her and Ella thought it was funny to splash one another...

What a serious face...

Ella wanted to get every one's attention.. Imagine that..

Ella loves to play outside.. It won't be long and she will be on the move...

Pretty Baby...

Ella loves to play in her toy box and Mamo and Papa's house... So many choices..

It seems like it's been forever since I've posted anything. Finding time is becoming more of a challenge... For the most part, nothing has really changed. We have been spending extra special time with Daddy since baseball is over now. Which is always nice. For some reason Ella and I can't get enough of him.. HAHA ... This week has been extra special.. Since Robbie is coaching football, he decided that he would take a week off and spend it with his girls. We had a great time hanging out together. Robbie was even able to work from home one day, so that him and Ella could hang out... They had a great time.

The two of them together is just priceless...They are starting to act like one another in some ways.. It was so cute when I left them for work on Wednesday morning. Ella was sleeping in bed with her daddy and mommy of course the night before. So when I left for work, I asked Robbie to hold her in his arms so nothing happened.. He did with out even saying a word (haha)... After getting them settled in, it was time for me to get ready... Of course I'm being super quite and I can hear this noise.. It sounded as if someone was snoring.. So I walked out of our bathroom and looked at them to see where it was coming from... It was both of them... They both had their hand on their head, mouths open snoring up a storm.. I was going to take a picture, but I didn't want to wake them.. They were too cute... I couldn't do anything but smile. ;-)

Moving on with our post. Ella is doing wonderful. She is changing more and more everyday. Robbie and I were just talking the other night, and we can't believe how much she has changed just in the last week. Ella is still not sure that she wants to crawl, but she is super close. She is now getting up on all fours rocking back and forth, and is all over the place. She loves to toss and turn now..and sleeping on her side or belly seems like the thing to do. It was super cute. On Tuesday night, Robbie and I got to see Miss Ella roll from her back to her belly while she was sleeping. She thought she was hot stuff laying on her belly.. She had both hands up by her face, and one of her little legs hiked up in the air.. She looked like a little girl laying there... Almost brought a tear to my eye. It's so hard to believe that she will be 12 months old before we know it..

Robbie and I have already been shopping for her first birthday. I found a cake that I want to get made for her. We will see how that goes. Then I also found this really cute website of different things that we can have made for her. They will even stitch her name on the item if we ask them too.. We want to get her toys of course, but also something that she will remember forever and ever. I think were onto something really neat.. We shall wait and see... I hear Ella moving around so better run... Post more later on.. .
