Milk can make babies quite sleepy

Alternate title: Ella goes on her first milk bender...

Cheerios

Ella can feed herself cheerios. Yeah!
Usually she uses her right hand to put the ohs in her mouth. (Contrary to the photogrphic evidence seen here.) Her left hand is used to hold a stash until they get nice and soggy.




Her pincer-grip needs a tiny bit of work, but she gets it done. Mostly.




A fistful of yum.

Goodfellas?

While Aunt Lynne smiles nicely for the camera, Ella works on her Robert DiNiro impression.

Having a blast at Grandma's, wish you were here...

Mom and dad are getting a nice break because there are lots of folks down here in Tell City who can give me all the attention that I crave (though I can't imagine why anyone would need a break from me). It's also fun to make them all laugh.

p.s. - This photo was taken by my cousin Molly (who is awesome).

Judging a book by its (removable) cover

Ella announces the first selection of her Book of the Month Club.

The sharp-eyed among you might notice that these pictures are actually about a month old. It's just I liked these past few pictures so much, I didn't want to pass them up.

Whole lotta shakin' goin' on

Ella has discovered that some things are just more interesting if you move them really fast.

A very windy day, or bedhead?

You be the judge. I would call it "fetchingly tousled."

I just discovered the other day that when you snork up that last bit of milkshake with your straw, the sound makes Ella giggle.

Proud Daddy

or, Mufasa and Simba

No Autographs, Please!

I don't know how to write yet!

Winter Gear

Ella hasn't had the chance to make a snow angel yet, but she's got all the necessary gear.

A nice warm hat . . .




. . . and a cute snow-bunny suit.



We can't wait to get her up on the slopes!
