Crawling now, walking soon!

I know I must sound like I broken record, but seriously!! Where has time gone?? And what happened to my baby!?!?

Ella started crawling on her 8 month birthday and now, just before her 9th month, she's standing on her own with no assistance!!! Did I have a camera ready? Of course not! Ha!

Besides trying to keep up with my crazy, wild lil peanut, I'm trying to keep up with all these road trips. Sometimes it feels as if they will never come to an end; I also think the second 1/2 of baseball always wears on you more than the first.  

During the all star break we got to spend much needed time with family! It was a huge blessing and oh so hard to leave them. Steven and I also got our first night away and Ella was a champ! She was such a big girl and barley complained... Only now, I can't leave her sight for a second without her thinking I'm leaving her again! Poor kid :/ 

I'm excited that this Friday Ella and I will be taking a toad trip to NY to see auntie Erin's wedding!!! Congrats to my beautiful friend!!! Met this girl in Hawaii during college and couldn't feel more lucky to still be friends! She has worked through so many challenges and I couldn't be more happy for her and this awesome new journey. Love you girl! Xo

Roof Top Adventures... when she is an early riser ;)
