October 7th- Cuteness and possible Halloween Costumes

Ella is such a ham for the camera these days. Here she is giving Nitsa a smile. 

One of the many possible halloween costumes that Ella has been given as a hand me down. I think she will have to be something everyday of the week Halloween week.  

October 6th- Almost standing

Ella is almost standing up on her own. She has started to pull up on the coffee table and in her crib. Here she is this afternoon, so close to getting all the way up. But only to her knees. 

October 5th- Meeting the Finns

Last night Ella got to meet Matt's Finnish co-workers. They came to go out with Matt and drink American beer.  They also brought Ella presents. She LOVES the maraca that they gave her. After the boys left Ella and I hung out in the living room and watched the sun set. It was a lovely girls evening.

October 4th- 5 Guys

Today Ella had her first 5 Guys burger. All right Matt and I really had our first burgers, but Ella ate a little of everything too. She especially likes the tomatoes off my burger, the bun and the french fries.

October 3rd- Two Teeth

Ella officially has two teeth.  Yes I know they are hard to see here. But that is what happens when you are trying to get her to open her mouth and take a picture. Lots of blur. 

October 2nd- New Coffee Table

We got a new coffee table to go with the new rug. It is perfect Ella height. Her she has been placed to stand. Not standing on her own let. But here she is reading her family faces book.  

October 1st- Too Hot

It is October and we are having one serious heat wave here. To cope with it Ella and Gigi and I went swimming at her place today. It was so nice to get in the cool pool and see all that Ella learned at swim lessons the last two weeks. They call her the little fish.

Swimming can really wear you out so a nap was necessary for everyone.
