Ella is 5 months old and Mr. Froggy just keeps on shrinking and shrinking and.....

"I'm adorable, don't you think?"

Ella and Phil get ready for bed by reading a story together.

Ella and her favorite "chew toy".

Ella's getting pumped up for her trip to see Santa Claus at the base tree lighting ceremony.

Ella and her first visit with Babbo Natale (Santa Claus). She seems more interested in looking at his boots than telling him what she wants for Christmas!

We can't take credit for this awesome shot, but just thought you might like to see what our little volcano (am I Le Petit Prince?) is up to. This picture was taken from the front yard of a teacher who lives near Acireale this morning.

I'm just chillin'. What's up witchu?

What a pig! Can you believe that Ella demanded all of this Thanksgiving food, then refused to eat any of it? I guess some 4-month-olds just can't handle their turkey!

Ella smiles

Can you spot the Ella Bear?

Just chilling with Daddy in our undies!

Ella is 4 months old!!

The Andre famiglia, minus Oscar.

Ella and her Steiff bear, Otto, from the Culvers.

Mohawk Mama!

Currier the sweetpea, Ella the pumpkin, Ethan the bat, and Jadeyn the tootsie roll on Halloween. Clearly, the pumpkin is not amused and is not going to make it in the world of dressing babies up in costumes for their mothers' entertainment!

A way overdue 3 month shot with Mr. Froggy and saggy drawers!

Daughter and Dog unite, but Ella's only interested in eating her dress.

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!
