Ella Mae 18 sitting

 

Continuing to inch up the 11 pound scale (11 pounds, 9 ounces!), Ella Mae is growing right in front of our eyes!  Her expressions captivate us, and we celebrate the tiny things, like giggles and wide-eyed discoveries!

Ella Mae is also beginning teething- shown by constantly chewing on things, bright red cheeks, tugging ears, and of course, sleepless nights.  She finds comfort in our rubbing her gums and giving her chilly things to chew. No signs of a tooth yet, though!

Ella Mae also is loving that cute baby in the mirror!  We find her stopping during tummy-time to admire her reflection.  She’ll stop dead in a passionate fit to coo at her reflection.  What a silly girl!

Who is that in the mirror??

Autumn continues in chilly Saint Paul.  Our daily walks are full of color and falling leaves.  Many thanks to creative friends like Erin who knit her warm (and cute!) hats!
