Ella Grace: {7 months old}

 
Ella's 7 month was a fast one! Now that school in is full swing she spends most of her day with Kendall. I miss her so much and only want to cuddle and play with her and Ava after school. It's so hard to be away from all this cuteness all day long. I am praying and waiting for the day to be a stay at home mommy!  
 
 
 
my family's favorite picture of the 2 of them!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Because school was in session and she was still sleeping (through the night) in her cradle next to my bed, Pete convinced me it was time to move her upstairs! She slept perfectly in her crib for the first time on September 4. I, on the other hand, did not sleep a wink.
 
 
She is still in love with cereal and any baby food we give her.
 
 
And she finally figured out how to get her Mum Mum crackers in her mouth, turning her hand and moving it around. Puffs and yogurt melts are still al ittle difficult.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Her thumb is a MUST when she is sleeping! I think it is just the CUTEST!!!!
Her baby doll and blanket are also part of her night night routine!
 
 
 
She is starting to roll onto her belly to sleep...sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...
 
 
 
 
A few "firsts" (in addition to her crib) for Ella's 7th month!
 Her first cracker:
 
Her first Pee Wee football game:
 
 
 
and 2nd :)
 
 
Her first ride in the stroller without her car seat!:
 
Her first time in the big girl bath tub!:
She still hates the bath...as you can see...
 
 
Her first time to Colin's school:
we read a book to his class and had lunch together
 
 
Ella has decided that she doesn't like or need the swing anymore and would much rather be sitting up playing and involved in all of the action!
 
 
 
 
Her smile and laugh are contagious!
She started to become ticklish and LOVES "Patty Cake" and "If You're Happy and You Know It"
 
 
 
 
 
We got to Face Time with Great Grandma Rose and Great Papa Frank while Nonnie and Papa were visiting!
 
 
 
Daddy is her favorite...no doubt about it!
 
 
She is getting SO CHUBBY! Nothing better than a happy chunky baby!!!
 
 
 
Last month she rolled over and was so close to sitting up...guess what...she can sit up all by her self!!!! She sat up for the first time (for longer than a few seconds) on her 7 month birthday!
