Ella Mae’s 9th week was full of little adventures!  Weighing 9 pounds, 14 ounces, she’s nearly at the 10-pound mark!  This week, she got front-row seats to watch the giant cottonwood in the backyard  be removed.  She also went to a concert at Lake Harriet and met up with godmother Eve Blaney Johnson Brafford!  Her vocabulary continues to grow to include all variations of  “coo” and “gah” and we cannot get enough of her! And here are a few videos of Ella Mae playing with a new butterfly, bedtime with daddy and her talking to the birds!IMG_0974IMG_0999-1IMG_1001
