Ella - 9 months old

Ella was 9 months old on the 23rd. Our baby is growing up so quickly! She is a happy baby who loves her sisters. She is almost crawling forward, but very proficient in crawling backwards and getting stuck under furniture.

She can clap and give high fives, but hasn't mastered waving good bye yet.

She is starting to eat table foods, mostly only when her sisters sneak her tastes of ice cream, cookies, and pudding.

She still only has her two bottom teeth. She has bitten both her sisters (they probably had it coming).

She loves to pull herself up and stand by her toys and furniture. She doesn't have the balance to stand yet, so I am confident she won't be walking for at least another month or two.

And of course, she is ADORABLE!! See for yourself. She just sits in the grass and lets me take loads of pictures of her!!
