30 Weeks Old!

At nearly seven months, Ella has pretty much mastered the army crawl and sitting up. When she sees something she wants, she finds a way to get there. And in the last few days she's set her sights on the fireplace, the stairs, and other non-baby-friendly targets that we'll need to baby-proof. The day has come, Ella will soon be into everything. She's also becoming frustrated when you take something away from her - seven months going on 15? And while we'd nearly given up on the pureed baby foods - as a result of pursed lips, batting at the spoon, and general disinterest - Ella finally gobbled up some mush this week. And guess what satisfied her picky palate? Prunes! What a silly girl! Over the weekend Uncle Sam and Ashley came to visit and to attend Lollapalooza. Ella also attended her first birthday party, celebrating our good friend Bennett's first birthday!

Taking these photos requires two people - and when two people aren't available, this is what you get. 


Sitting up!

While most babies enjoy jumping in the Jumperoo, Ella just likes to hang out under it.

Getting ready for Lollapalooza - don't worry, Ella stayed home with Jeritt:)
