Yesterday was Ella's first official day at "Grammy Day Care". As some of you may know, I was offered a job as an instructional aide in Greenup. Even though it's nothing close to my job of choice, the pros outwighed the cons and I accepted!
One of the cons, of course, is leaving Elaa. I've really enjoyed staying home with her for the past nine and a half months. However, I know I was never meant to be a stay at home mom. Despite my hermit tendencies, I really prefer to be out of the house. So I took the leap!
Ella's newest achievements are standing by herself! She likes to play with her toys on the couch or ottoman, so she'll get a toy from the ground and put it on her "table" of choice. When she's really engrossed in playing, she just lets go and stands there. It is so strange to see her just...standing. She seems so little to be doing those things. I guess I still see her as an itty bitty five-pounder that we brought home with us.
These pictures are courtesy of Wendy, taken at Ellie's first birthday party. We had a ball! And so did Ella. She was hesitant about the pool at first, but once we got her in, she didn't want to get out!
Tooth update: 2 bottom, 4 top. Wow!
