Walk This Way

Ella has become a walking machine. It's now her prefered mode of transportation. As soon as she discovered that she could move AND carry stuff from room to room, she decided that crawling was for babies.

Here she is with Papa and Grammy Heathcote, strutting her stuff:

10/15 While reading a book together, I pointed out a guinea pig and Ella snorted like a pig.

11/5 When asked where her belly button was, Ella lifted up her shirt. And then lifted up her shirt further and said “ne-ne” -- her word for boobs.

11/8 While shopping at Target, Ella started to take off her sweater. I asked her if she was hot and she blew a few times, the sign for “hot” – which I’d only used for food so far.

11/9 While in the backyard, Ella picked up a piece of bark and I commented, “Oh look. You have bark”. Ella replied “Woof”.
