Ella Mae is 9 months old!

She’s a mover!  Ella Mae continues to grow and giggle throughout her 9th month.  She’s pulling to stand and lowering herself (most days), learning to fall (Ouch!) and wants to eat anything in sight.  Still no teeth, but her little gums are quite strong!

Ella Mae’s 9th month was full of mommy’s concerts, going up north to a cabin, and spring break with grandmartha!  We saw more snow than we’d want to as it approaches spring, but she stays in good spirits.  (or we do!)  Day trips to the library, local cafes and errands with her nanny keep Ella on her toes.  Oh and we can’t forget playdates with the neighborhood babies!
