12 Months

Sorry for the delayed update, but last Tuesday Ella turned one! She is moving around so much and is getting better at walking every day. She takes about eight to fifteen steps, but then gets nervous and sits down. Just yesterday Brian and I noticed she was taking more steps and able to walk while carrying something in her hand. I think it will be only a couple of weeks till she's running around. Luckily, she's still sleeping through the night and taking two naps a day, but she's starting to fight going to bed. She used to lay right down and go to sleep, but now she stands up in her crib and cries for a few minutes. Hopefully this won't last long. She completely off formula and drinking whole milk from a sippy cup. The transition wasn't too difficult and she seems to really like it. She's also eating a ton of different foods and seems to like most everything I give her, but her favorite foods are cheeses and Ritz crackers. Here are some pictures from her actual birthday.
