I'm so excited!

This morning, I discovered something. It was very exciting to find. I have been anticipating finding one soon, but I didn't think it would be this soon. Every once in a while I go searching for one, but to no avail, I never find it. This morning I had the urge to go looking for it again, and I found one! I quickly ran upstairs to see if my mom could find it as well, and she did! *Side note- for those who don't know, we are temporarily living with my parents until we can get our own house.*

Okay, I'll quit playing around!

Ella now has a tooth! She has been teething for over a month now, and it finally came! It is her bottom left incisor. She hasn't even shown any signs of pain for at least two weeks! That's why I didn't expect it to come any time soon. Now it's time to get her a toothbrush and toothpaste!

Less Than a Year Until She's One!

Today, Ella is seven months old. Since when did my baby girl grow up to be that old! Where did the time go?! She's outgrown all her cute little newborn clothes, and most of her 0-3 month clothes. She actually still fits (barely) in a few clothes that small!


But, it's exciting to see her grow and develop and learn new things! she sits like a pro, she stands while holding on to things without my help, and she FINALLY has an interest in rolling over. She was a little behind on the rolling over, but she is right on or even ahead with all her other milestones and developments.


I love her more and more everyday. She is the sweetest baby and very even tempered (thank goodness). She has a silly sense of humor and she makes me laugh every day.


It is so cute watching her play with her daddy! She loves him so much! When he gets home from work, he's the only one she wants. Craig loves her more than anything, and is such a good daddy!


I am so thankful for my little family, and can't even imagine my life without them. Well, actually I can, and it wouldn't be pretty, and I definitely would not be happy. I am also truly thankful for the gospel in my life and knowing that we are a forever family.

Ella's first time eating prunes. She LOVES them!
