Camping Trip
Ella went camping for the first time this weekend. We went to Lake Pueblo and stayed one night. We had lots of fun. It was a little too hot for Ella so we had to put her in the car and run the A/C so she could take naps. She did ok at night though. Ella loved playing with the rocks and crawling around in the tent. She loved looking at the lizard that we found near our site too. I think we will go camping again soon, but maybe when it isn't so hot.

9 Months old!
lla is 9 months old! Ok she turned 9 months a week ago but I wanted to wait till after her doctors appointment before I wrote an update. See our growth chart for updates on her growth.
So what is in the life of a 9 month old? Everything. She says up to 10 words: hi, hey, cat, kitty, doggie, okay, up, yes, daddy, tree, and we might have learned fish while at the doctors today (they have a fish tank). She will put two words together and make a sentence like hi daddy or hi kitty. She is walking with her walker. She is so independent that she won't hold our hands to walk. She can almost stand by herself with out holding on to anyone or thing. She eats almost everything. She loves savory foods and likes to try new things all the time. She is starting to learn to hold her own bottle, but she still has no interest in the sippy cup. She is keeping up with the big kids at church (most of her friends are 2-5 years old). She knows how to wave hello and we are getting bye bye down. She can clap, when appropriate, to "If you are happy and you know it" and she is very good at knowing when to applaud. We will be in big trouble once she takes off and is walking on her own, which won't be long! We are still waiting for her first tooth which I hope will be soon.
She loves to watch Spanish PBS preschool shows. She also loves going to the zoo. Some of her other favorite things are animals and the color orange. She loves making new friends and playing. She is very good at independent play. That's all for now.
