3 years & 10 months

Today, I celebrate 3 wonderful years of marriage to my handsome husband!Thank you Josh for being such a great husband!! You are truly a blessing to me!!Thank you for being such a wonderful christian man, making sure we are in church and serving the ONE & ONLY CREATOR!!!Thanks for LOVING me!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! Thank you for being such a wonderful father!!
I know Ella is proud to call you DAD!

On another note, Ella turned 10 months old on Friday!

which means we no longer get cooperative monthly pictures in her crib!!

She still absolutely loves the swing and thinks that is where we are going when we get in the car! Like I said earlier, she likes her picture taken, but would rather have the camera herself, and alot of pictures lately look like this, bc she doesn't get her way!
She had her first sleepover the other night!! Cadence came to visit for the weekend! Ella loved her daddy's old red wagon that her Papa re-did for her!Ella loves the new granddog!! His name is Jackson and he loves to kiss on Ella!
Daddy better get his shotgun out!! Ella loves this little fellow!! His name is Cole. Thank the Lord he is just her cousin!!
He even snuck her away on his new ride!

Ella loves Cadence!! They had a ball together!
Ella weighs 18 pounds and wears 9 month and 12 month clothes!
She isn't too sure about all these tutus that her mommy makes for her to wear!!

Check out Ella's 9 month pictures!!

9 months old....almost 10

(Ignore the date, that is when I actually started this blog)
Ella turned 9 months old almost a month ago, but she has been keeping me so busy, that I haven't had time to post. By the time I get this post done, it will be time for her 10 month post!! :)
-Ella can say MAMA!!!! She started saying it a few weeks ago, and OH....it just melted my heart!! -She weighed 17 pounds at her 9 month checkup the other day!
-She can walk behind one of her toys, very slowly!!! -She loves tablefood, but still eats baby food!
-She still has NO teeth, but I think we are getting really close!
-We started making her sleep in her crib for the first part of the night, be it 10 minutes or 2 hours, then she gets to finish the night in our bed!! So far she has done very good!
-We took her to Auburn a few weekends ago, and she got to tailgate, experience the Tiger Walk, and meet Aubie!!! WAR EAGLE might just be her next words!! :) -She loves the park, especially the swing!! -She recently has started showing her temper when she doesnt get her way!! Oh, the meltdowns we have some days!!!
Check back for her 10 month post in just a few days!! Maybe I can get it posted before her 11 month birthday!! :)

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!

A Day in the Life of Ella....

Ella attended her first Vacation Bible School a few weeks ago!! She also got to ride a real horse for the first time!! :) I think she liked it until it started moving, then she wasn't too sure about it! Mrs. Dees and Harli, Ella's friend

She also enjoyed her first tub bath the other night and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it, as you can probably see!! :)

Ella loves the pool or anything that has water in it!!

Sweet Ella posing for the camera after church this past Sunday!

Ella fits perfectly in the recliner beside me and this is where she fell asleep the other morning!

Ella's first Fourth of July!! She LOVED the fireworks!!

This is what happens when my daddy feeds me, says Ella! I just get to have fun with me food!

She found her toy basket the other day, so now they all have to be out on the floor!!

and my sweet Ella turned 7 months old July 1st!!

She loves to SMILE!! She loves to LAUGH!! She is always HAPPY!!

She can go from her tummy or back to sitting up!!

She is very very close to crawling!

She is trying to pull up and can if she has something to grab on to!

She loves every kind of food we have given her and thinks when we sit down to eat, she has to have some too!!

She wears mostly 6 months clothes, but is now fitting into 9 month clothes!!

She is the light of our life and we couldn't imagine life without her!!
