10 Months Old/Halloween



Ella turned 10 months old on October 29th.  No more doctor appointments till she turns one, so no update on her size.  She is getting to be such a big girl and it's so fun watching her learn and do so many new things.  She is constantly "babbling", LOVES taking big girl baths, is still sleeping about 12 hours straight at night, takes two naps during the day, dances, waves, gives kisses and can say bye bye, da da, mama, bite and says bath but it sounds like "ba".  Her favorite thing to do these days though is to walk with her walking toy.  She gets brave enough to let go of things and stand on her own but hasn't quite worked up the courage to take a step.  She has also been a little fussy and clingy the past week due to about 3 teeth coming in up top.  This actually happened about a week after she turned 10 months.  Here are some iPhone pics...


Ella loves visiting Daddy at work.

 Ella and I walk a neighbor's dog once a day and we both love it!

Shopping with Mommy.

She literally tries to stand up everywhere!

Here is a video of her walking with her lion.
 

 Halloween rolled around a couple days after Ella turned 10 months.  We didn't go trick-or-treating but we did sit outside and hand out candy.  We all had fun and Ella really liked seeing all the kids.


Chadan and Tyson's party

A couple weekends ago my nephews, Chadan and Tyson had a joint birthday party at their house in Boaz.  Chadan turned 7 and Tyson 2. The party was cowboy/Wiggles themed.  Tammy did a great job with it, there was even a horse and pony there. 

Before the party Ella decided to do a little handy work.

The Brooks Family.  Jordan is the cutest cowgirl in the West.

Toby could not get enough of the horse and pony.  He never wanted to get down, it was so cute!

The Smith Family


Ella is in a little bit of shock.

Tuscaloosa and Petting Zoo

A few weekends ago we all went down to Tuscaloosa for the Vanderbilt game and stayed with Kate, Scott and Malley.  We stayed two nights and Big Mal and Ellie even stayed with the babies Friday night so the adults could go out. Thanks!  As always, we had a lot of fun and Ella loved hanging out with Malley.


The daddies had fun playing too.

Ella and Big Mal bonded over the weekend. So sweet.


Saturday we tailgated a little bit at the golf team's tent (Uncle Scott is the assistant coach).

The little girls are sooo in to it. 


The next weekend Bobby and Kaylin came to visit.  On Saturday we took Ella to a petting zoo at a fall festival nearby.


Kaylin couldn't belieb Justin Bieber was there!


We were amazed they had a camel!



The adults got to have some fun too.
