Things became crazy as Currier insisted on taking his pants off (ala Hugh Hefner) and Jadeyn stole the show. Meanwhile, Ella was putting the moves on little Currier!

The Halloween Photo Shoot coming at ya! In this issue, a behind-the-scenes look at what really went down when the babies were allowed to roam free!

Ella and her buddies, Currier in the middle and Jadeyn on the right. Ella used to have the same onesie, but unfortunately it was sacrificed to the poopie gods!

Ella fast alseep after a feeding on her Boppy. Don't worry, I was sitting right next to her the whole time!

Splish splash, I was taking a bath! Ella having her nightly tub time with her daddy.

Oops! The rest of that joke was supposed to be......Q: Why are pirates so mean? A: Because they arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Stacey Sechrist, Aja, and Ella in the Greek Theatre.

Ella's quite the traveler as she explores the 3rd Century BC Greek Theatre in Taormina, Italy.

Thank goodness for this Indian Summer so I can still wear all my cute little dresses. (Thanks, Sharon!)

Is it cool if I take the car out tonight, Mommy?

I'm a little roly poly!

Her favorite toy conveniently located at the end of her arm:)

Darling in denim!

Well hellooooooooo!

I know this is a bit blurry, but it's just so cute!

I'm mad serious about toys!

Aja and her "cub" Ella after a bath.

The t-shirt says it all:)

She's ready for the stage with her jingly socks!

Never before has a comb over looked so good!

How cute is she?

Fast asleep with her Daddy.

Ella's practicing for that faraway, pensive, senior picture look. Jean Christopher, eat your heart out! (Only residents of Lenawee county will get that, sorry!)

Two months old yesterday! She's decided to warm up a little to Mr. Froggy, even though he's a little shorty.

"Watch out, Mom. This one has teeth!" Ouch! Ella's cousin, Cooper, proudly displaying his new chompers.

A Diaper Diva indeed!

"I don't know how I feel about this preppy look," says Ella. "Ralph just may not be my man."

I'm working on a belly just like Pooh's--how am I doing?

All this shopping makes little babies tired.

For Chuck and Leah...enjoy!

A real smile, yeah!

Cutie pie!

My mommy thinks I'm smiling, but she doesn't know that I just passed a little gas. Shhh, don't tell her!

Meet my friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ladybug. They keep me company while I sit in my carseat.

Ella has decided that she will allow one photo, and one photo only, while she struggles with her case of baby acne. Pleases respect her wishes and privacy during this difficult time. Thank you.

Ella Louise on her 4 week birthday! It's amazing how time flies!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Froggy. I only date guys who are as tall as me."

Sorry, Cooper. We've been neglecting you. Here's a recent picture of Ella's cousin, Cooper, at 6 months.

Still sleeping, but only because I am working so hard to get bigger! I weigh 9 lbs 8 oz today!

We have a mover and a shaker on our hands!
