Hi Mom! *

Ella gets into the toy basket. *

We love books! Some of them are very tasty! *

This one is especially good. *

Seriously, though, she does like books...likes to turn pages, touch the pictures, feel the touch-and-feel books, and also chew on them. *

The little nudist tries to escape prior to taking a bath.... *

One day, she had stopped making noise, so I went in to check on her. This is what I found...sound asleep! Looks like she fell asleep reading? *

Where is Ella? (my parents call this the "ghostie" picture!) *

There she is! *

What's in here? *

Oh, just ME!!!! *

A favorite picture. *

Just playing...I love this little dress. *

One of Ella's favorite occupations: Exploring her book cabinet. She figured out the latch the first time she tried it a month or two ago. It is the first place she goes in the morning! *

A good read? Comfy? *

Apparently, we are all reading the wrong way.... *

Which one tastes better? Ella's first blocks. *

Another favorite book. She loves to read. Makes my English Teacher/Book Geek heart warm with joy.... *

I did a short little series of close-ups that somehow I liked better in black-and-white than color. *

She was trying to get hold of the camera, to tell the truth... *
