8 months old

Are we really that close to celebrating her FIRST birthday!! Oh my, I better get to planning!!!Ella turned 8 months old on Sunday and boy has she reached some milestones over the last few weeks!!-She still has no teeth, but from what I've heard, that is a good thing!!
-She started crawling almost 3 weeks ago and has not stopped!! She gets into EVERYTHING and keeps Josh and I on our toes! I think we just might have a walker in a few weeks!
-She is pulling up on everything and is getting mighty brave, thinking she can let go and remain standing!! Josh said, 'I hope she has a strong butt bone, because those falls have gotta hurt!'

-She can say DADA and ELLA!! Next on the list is MAMA!!!
-She still LOVES her mommy's milk and we haven't found a food yet that she won't eat. PRAISE THE LORD she isn't like her dad, because he can be a picky eater sometimes.-She cries when we pull her out of the tub, because she wants to stay in there!
-She recently got a walker and is fast as lightening in it. It is quite funny!-She doesn't have to wear headbands anymore and her daddy is loving it. He always hated her headbands anyway. She finally has enough hair to clip the bows to!! The only sad thing is that it makes her look more grown up!! {tear} :(-We recently have been telling her NO, especially since she wants to get into everything, and she doesn't take too kindly to it sometimes. Other times, she looks at you, gives a grin, and keeps on, and the other times, it hurts her feelings!! Then I have to pick her up and love on her because it hurts my feelings!-She gets go excited when her daddy gets home from work, she kicks those legs and has the biggest smile on her face. If she is already on the floor, she starts crawling towards him, which is the sweetest thing!! Can't believe our little cupcake is less than 4 months away from being the BIG ONE!!!

Ella at Work

Ella recently went with me to Elba for a few days while I worked at the shop. She was a big helper at WW and her Nana and Papaw's hardware! If the service was a little slow, I'm sorry, but I'm sure you were greeted with a big smile as you checked out!

Wedding Bliss
Ella is going to be a flower girl coming up really soon!! She gets to hopefully walk down the aisle at the end of October and then gets to be in her Uncle Josh's wedding in April!! CONGRATS JOSH AND CLAIRE ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!
