Check out this chair I received from my Moma and Grandpa Andre for my 1st birthday! I know, my birthday is still two months away, but I'm not complaining!

They finally gave me a chair that's just my size!

Rise and shine, Ella!

Time to get up and start the day!

Okay, I'm off to see the world in my new backpack! Peace out, Mama and Daddy!

Well, maybe I'll just hang out with Mama and Daddy a little longer:)

Buon giorno, mondo! I have made leaps and bounds since I last wrote. I am now a speed crawler; sometimes up on my hands and knees, but mostly on my belly like a soldier in boot camp! I figured out how to pull myself up onto things like a couch or chair and I also know how to get up to sitting from my belly. I still prefer pureed baby food to anything chunky, but I'm now eating small things like Gerber puffs with my fingers. I am also saying "dadada" a lot and "mamama" a little. It's okay, my Mama knows I love her! That's all for now. Until next month, ciao!

Where are you, Mr. Easter Bunny?

Mr. Easter Bunny! I have a nice little egg for you! Come out, come out wherever you are!

There he is! Ella met the Easter Bunny for the first time, but she didn't want him to hold her! Oh well, he still left her some surprises on Easter morning.....

Look what the Easter Bunny left for Ella Louise!

Awwww, isn't she cute? Our friend Matt took this pic of Ella at a birthday party last Sunday.

Video of Ella

Check out this cute video of Ella doing the Macarena. She's wearing those cool glasses because she had her eyes dilated at the doctor's office that day. We didn't think she would wear them, but she didn't seem to mind! You can also view other pics and videos at this site.

Ehhhhh, what's up Doc? I am getting very big! I love to gnaw on carrots. I was sleeping through the night, but just recently I started to wake up again. I think it is because my third tooth is coming down! It is on the top in the front. I am moving around a lot more by dragging myself on my belly or scooting forward on my bottom. Arrivederci!
