Puppy love

Every time Ella is hanging out down at Carl's level he sneaks in a few kisses. This afternoon she returned the favor, letting him know she's pretty fond of him too.

Pretty Bows

We finally have hair long enough to hold a bow!

Really?

Can this be happening already? She hasn't quite coordinated the movement yet, but I would say life as we know it is soon going to change =)

Last concert in the park

Last night we spent the evening under the stars at the last sunset concert series of the summer. Are we really already at the end of summer? Ella always seems to have such a good time outside. I am already looking forward to next year!

Big Rock

On Sunday we headed up to Big Rock, a creek up in the mountains near Wrightwood. Don't let the name fool you, there aren't any big rocks, but the trees are beautiful and the sound of flowing water is so relaxing. Chris BBQ'd some hot dogs and the guy's had a good time hanging out in the water. Ella loves to be outside and seemed to be having a great time nature watching. Overall it was an awesome, and might I add free, Sunday with family and friends.

Still learning...

The following is what happens when Daddy feeds Ella rice cereal.

Movin' on up

Ella is starting her move up the food pyramid, we have started introducing rice cereal. (I didn't say it was a big move =) At this point more food is getting on her face than in her mouth, but I'm sure we will both catch on pretty quick. Yesterday while feeding her, she decided it would be way more fun to play with her toes. Definitely messy and undeniably cute.
