I'm a big kid now...

Owen and Ella taking a tub


We had to lower the crib


My pearly whites


There she goes...


"Look at me... I'm a big kid now"


"I will never stay in one place again."





Accomplished !

Summer is coming to an end, and Ella is only getting bigger and bigger.  After she started crawling she decided that she knows it all and started climbing up stairs, chairs and mom and dad.  Ella is also getting very experienced with bumps and bruises.  She doesn't realize yet that with the exploring and climbing, it is bound to happen.  There is nothing I love more than when she gets mad or tired and crawls to my feet and just drops and puts head down and just cries waiting for me to pick her up.  It is very hilarious to observe.   Since the beach, her bottom 2 teeth broke through and now we are patiently waiting for the upper tooth to come in.  They are starting to break through.  As of the 24th she is now 7 months old.  I can't believe she is growing up so fast.   

I am not missing teaching.  In fact, I still feel like it is summer and everyone is still on summer break.  It has been fun the last two weeks just being with Ella and not worrying about school.

We need to get together. Trying to plan something. What day works best for you?

Nothing beats staying home with the little ones. Ella is getting big and brave. Addison also just broke her bottom two teeth. I still can't believe they are 4 months apart. Just remember it is always summer in California.

WOW...Ella really is growing up quick! Makes me kind of sad because I know Tori will be following SOON! I better start taking even more pictures! I am kind of jealous that you are staying home. It didn't quite work out for Bryson and me however, it's working out fine since I am leaving Tori with her daddy! You can read all about me going back to work on our blog...if you haven't already!

She is so beautiful! It is amazing how fast they learn and change, but isn't it fun to watch and be a part of. Thanks for keeping up with our blog. I have been so distracted and busy with getting ready for our baby that I barely have time to post stuff on our blog. Happy Birthday to Brennan too.
