Weekend of Firsts


Ellen did so many new things this weekend. On Friday, she started saying "Bye." She waves and says "bye" over and over. She thinks she is so big because she can speak our language now.

Ellen also got a new toy to practice walking with. On Saturday, we stood her up to grab onto it and she stood by herself (without holding onto anything) for the first time.

Sunday, we stood her up next to the new toy and she took off walking with it across the screened porch area. Her first time walking! She discovered that she can push it while on her knees or while crawling also, so she changes routines. She also learned to crawl up and down a stair (into the house and out to the screened porch.) What a busy girl! She's growing up so fast!

These pictures made me cry. I miss her sooooooo much!!!
Even though we get to see her progress in pictures, it's just NOT the same!
Looks like her hair is turning blonde and eyes have turned green? I would LOVE to hear her little voice.
Than-you so much for sharing.
Love, Gramma D
