Just a few photos

Feeling guilty about how seldom we post to this blog these days. We've been really busy since the semester started (though we've been bad about posting to the blog for a lot longer than that). Here are just some of my favorite photos and a brief update on Ella. Soon (really!) I'll add some videos.
Well, she doesn't need running shoes yet,
but she has started "running"
--waddling really fast and then falling down.
She's also walking backwards, climbing, and spinning.

She has a new obsession with a baby doll.
She bathes it, feeds it, carries it everywhere.
She loves hugging her stuffed animals
and pointing to their eyes and noses and mouths,
naming (sort of) each part.

Just hangin' upside down with daddy.

And some fashion:
My friend Emily sent us a big flower headband like this one
(and the hat from our fashionista post) that her mother-in-law makes
and I've become obsessed with them.
I know, so not me, but how cute are they on her?

And this adorable sweater was made by her grandma Nicci.
I think she should go into business knitting hoods.

Life is so exciting right now--lots of new physical skills and tons of language development. She's saying new words and demonstrating understanding of new words every day. It's hard to capture the talking on video, but I'll see if we have any good ones. I know we have good dancin' videos I'll post soon.
