November 29th- Christmas is Coming
Ella and I made some Advent Calendars that featured her. Okay so yes they are the 25 days of Ella, I'm a new mom get over it. But we needed to deliver Nitsa's to her so we dressed up and went over. Plus it has been 4 days since Nitsa had seen Ella and she might have been going through withdraw. As you can see Ollie was dressed for the holiday season too.

November 26th- 9 Months Old
9 months old. It is really amazing to me that 9 months have passed with Ella in our lives. I can't believe that so much time has passed already. She is fun and silly yet serious and totally an observer. She loves to know what is going on and be in on the action. Life is one big adventure and everything is there to be pulled up on. Ella is a fast crawler and on the verge of walking. She loves music and dancing and even has some of her own moves. She is a little mommy centric when she is tired these days, but still loves everyone else too. She eats anything. I don't think we have found something that she doesn't like yet and it is so fun to see her try new things. Ella is spending entire nights in her own crib and only wakes up once in the night. She is confused about what morning is and sometimes requires a mommy and daddy snuggle at 5am. But thats really more about us and not her :)

November 22nd- Walking in the Rain
It RAINED today for most of the day. Beaker is not a fan of going out on his own in the rain so a walk is mandatory. Ella woke up at 6 this morning and Matt got up with her. They let me sleep for another hour or so and then I took a shift so Matt could take a nap. Ella's new (used) stroller came with a rain tent so we went for a walk. Beaker and I got really wet. Ella was so cozy and dry she fell asleep.

November 21st-Showing off for Betty!
Betty is my (Patt's) former neighbor and we still stay in touch. She just couldn't imagine baby swimming lessons so she came with us this week to watch. 'Not one kid cried!' she said amazed. But she did tell me she held her breath every time Ella put her face in the water!
Ella not only held her breath but actually put her head down and reached for the teacher every time it was her turn to swim. She must have been showing off for Betty!

November 19th- Tunnel of Fun
We have cut swim lessons down to once a week for the winter so Gigi and Ella had some extra time on their hands today. They went to Gymboree class instead and came home with some great new toys. Ella loves the wiffle balls because she can get her fingers into them. The bonus is Beaker is totally not interested in them. The tunnel was great fun for all three of us. Matt had a blast playing with it when he got home too. Ella does like to climb into the middle and make it her personal fort.
