Ella's almost a year old.....

Sorry we haven't posted for a while....Ella's been keeping us busy with all of her activites!

We took a trip back in September to Kentucky to see Aunt Kelli and Uncle Matt. We did lot's of fun stuff like visiting Churchill Downs and the Louisville Slugger Museum. And of course Aunt Kelli couldn't keep her hands of of Ella the whole time!!

And then in October we went over to Seattle and picked up Grandpa and brought him home for a visit. He hadn't seen Ella for about 4 months so he was a bit surprised about how big she had gotten! We stayed at Cousin Jim's house right on the Puget Sound.

And then it was a trip up to Green bluff to pick out Ella's first pumpkin....she found the perfect one!

Ella's first Halloween was a big hit! She was a bumble bee, and scored lots of candy!!! We took her around town during the day to visit with family and then she helped us greet the trick or treaters that came to the house! That night she managed to make her way to the dog bowls with out us knowing and had her first taste of dog food!! She seemed to like it!!

Other than that we have just been hanging out.....trips to the park so she can play in the leaves. She's not quite walking yet but getting really close.

Her birthday is just around the corner so stay tuned for more pics!!!

She is starting to look like her own little person, so cute. She could pass as Kelli's baby really easily. I can't believe she is almost a year! Glad for the update, keep them coming. Where are the bumble bee pics?
