She’s 6 months!
Our little smiler has transitioned beautifully to a nanny during the day as both parents are full-time workers again. Mom is tired but quite happy back in her classroom, and the family cuddles each evening and every weekend together. Time is precious.
Right after Thanksgiving with Papa Mike, grandma Diana, grandmartha and grandpa Johnson, Ella Mae was baptized! Her loving Godparents Michael and Eve Brafford were there to celebrate with us at Bethlehem Covenant. What a sweet day!
Ella Mae is giggling voraciously, babbling nonstop and trying to eat anything in sight. Her latest foods are rice cereal, oatmeal, bananas, cooked apples and avocados. Each time we introduce a new food, she is unsure, but within a day quickly loves it.
Enough talking, as promised- here are the pictures from the past few weeks of our little babe.

“See! Isn’t that funny??”
Ella Mae loves holding the spoon
not so sure about avocado…
REALLY not so sure about avocado…
deciding what to do about this new green taste…
Instead of eating it, we’ll PLAY with it!
yes, that’s much better
Ella Mae loves glasses of water- under supervision, of course!
She loves feeling the glass with her tongue
cutie!
