Ella Mae’s 10th month seemed to FLY by!  From April to May, Ella celebrated her first Easter, went to mom’s choir concert, a wedding shower and many walks around the Mississippi river (watching things thaw and plants beginning to sprout!)  She met and LOVED her friend Joanna (who flew in to dance at midwest lindyfest), and she chose her lovey- a very soft white bear that now MUST be in the crib for sleep to happen.  She continued to play (little imp!) and discover (like putting objects in other objects).  She brings us such joy!
