End of Feb.

We can't believe it's already the end of Feb. Ella has her 9 month appt. on her 10 month birthday. Crazy! We are all healthy and doing well. Nothing new, still trying new foods eating mostly big girl foods. We went out to eat on Monday with Jenna and had a play date yesterday with Aiden and Erin. We have had a few fun days! Last night I worked so I am pretty tired today, so we are hanging low today. Well hope this finds everyone doing well.

Another week gone!

The week went fast! I work an extra shift and have a new client so my weeks are always busier now. I like it though! On Friday we met Aiden and his mom and dad for dinner and a hockey game. The babies sure acted like they wanted to play this time but, of course, couldn't put them down. So we will hopefully be having another play date this week some time. It was fun for us too! On Valentines day we didn't do much of anything. We went grocery shopping and hung out at home. Ella did get some presents from both grandmas. They sure know how to spoil her! She enjoyed opening them up. Thanks again, we all loved them.! Yesterday, Presidents day, Evan didn't work so we had plans to go ice skating and to a movie. Well plans changed quick, our babysitters daughter got sick. So we went out for lunch and dinner and did some shopping. It was a pretty good day. I had to work all day Sunday so I was hesitant to leave Ella again for a movie. Well hopefully everyone is doing fine. Have a wonderful week.

Happy Valentines Day!

Well we had an uneventful week. Didn't do anything new, we did enjoy the beautiful weather. We are so ready for spring time! Ella had mac and cheese for the first time and she really enjoyed it. She pretty much eats what we eat with a few exceptions. As you can see in one picture she really enjoys chocolate pudding. She is still not crawling on her hands and knees just army crawling. I guess whatever works! She wants to walk by herself real badly but is very wobbly so she needs assistance. I am able to put a ponytail in her hair now, that is if she will let me. But it looks super cute! Hope everyone has a lovely Valentines Day.

LOVE,
Crystal and Ella

Crabby baby

Ella has been ridiculously crabby lately and we hope its due to teething. I picked up some natual medicine to help but it's not doing the trick, so I guess we will just have to deal with it for now. We just pray it's a phase and that she will shortly be out of it. This week we lowered her bed so now she likes to stand up and hang onto the railing although she cannot pull herself up yet without help. She is still army crawling and moves quite quickly. She also is really starting to like TV so I have been trying to do other activities with her but at 9 months old there is not much I can do. She doesn't enjoy reading yet and we can't play with her toys all day. Another reason why I can't wait for spring time. She does enjoy shopping but that hurts mommy's checkbook, if only I could window shop. Also, as you can see her hair is getting long but she hates me doing anything with it. I did happen to get a ponytail in it and it wasn't perfect but it looked so cute. I hope everyone is doing well, we are 1 month closer to springtime.
