LOOK WHO'S WALKING
Ella has started walking the last few weeks; something I am not mentally ready for. She is such an independent spirit that I know my days of snuggling her are limited. With Andrew I couldn't wait for him to start walking (part of being the first child...right?) but with Ella I feel like I haven't even tried to encourage her to do it. I think a lot of her motivation comes from watching Andrew and wanting to do everything he is doing. She also gets some help from Daddy; in fact she was playing with Jeff when she took her first steps. I think it is like watching a little miracle when you see a baby take their first steps. All of a sudden they are doing something that seemed impossible just seconds ago. We called both grandparents via web-cam to show them Ella's new trick. It added to the excitement being able to share the discovery with them.
I love these pictures because they show how much she loves her newfound ability. I love watching her grow and seeing more of her personality come out. It still amazes me that you can tell so much about them right from the start. Ella is such a happy little baby full of smiles and giggles. I just can't image life without her!

Hey Joani! Holy cow I can't believe she is walking. I love her huge smile in these photos. Hope you're having a fun summer.
She is so cute! I can't believe how big she's gotten and that she's already walking. We need to get together soon, it's obviously been way too long!!
Oh my gosh, she is just too adorable! What great pictures you captured!! She is beautiful!
I love your pictures! Thats great she is walking! She looks like she is having so much fun.
Ella is walking?! Go girl!! Those pics are too darling, Joani!
She is adorable! I love her big smiles! (And that cute dress she is wearing) How old is she? She looks little to be walking already! Anna is already crawling all over the place and i'm like you, I'm not mentally ready for it. With Charlie I was always excited for the next step, but with Anna I just want her to stay a baby!
Wow! she was still holding on when I saw her. What a smart kid. :) I loved watching your cute family on Sunday. I'm jealous she still cuddles with you. Anyway it was good to see you at the YW thing. Funny we are all living totally different lives now. Call next time you are up.
Joani...those are the cutest pictures! I can't believe she is walking and now i'm seriously starting to worry if my 16 1/2 month old Elsie will EVER walk!
