The top picture is Ellia enjoying Ellery's birthday party. The plastic food is a fun toy for her! The bottom two pics are Ellia at 11 months. She is cruising around the furniture and pulling up on everything. Walking by age 1? We will see...

Ellia's new trick

Ellia wants to stand up on everything, even things that are low to the ground. She looks a little funny trying to stand on the railroad tie wall. This were from last Friday, a little fun outside as it is turning fall weather.

Ellia wants to stand up all the time and pull up on things, so she was trying to stand in the sink where we give her a bath. It made for some good pics.

Ellia was ten months old on the day of Anthony's birthday, so we took some 10 month pics with the birthday boy holding her. She is on the move now, so it was harder to capture her picture without her getting ready to dive out of the chair. At her latest doctor visit (a week after she was ten months--we were late for the 9 month well check up), she was 20 lbs and 28 inches long. When she turns 1, we can turn her car seat around! That is the big deal about hitting 20 pounds. She also has three (almost four) teeth on top and three (almost four) teeth on bottom. No words yet...just babbles and screeches!

Maryland trip

Ellia made her first visit to Maryland to visit Pappy and the rest of the relatives. We found a street that is the same as her middle name. Guess because it means hickory tree that it makes sense to find it in the community of Hickory! We made some videos of her on the swings at Rocks State Park, and we took some pics of her enjoying the great outdoors from daddy's head! Good memories!

Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga

On August 9th we headed to Chattanooga to the Children's Discovery Musuem. There were even a few things for baby discovery! Ellia enjoyed the day along with her siblings. The Bob the Builder hat was funny!

Ellia at nine months. These are from August 5th when Ellia was nine months old. We thought a few eating pics might be good for the memory books.
