Ella and Daddy at Craig's reception in California. *

Destroying some begonias. *

Daddy and Ella, exploring a little of nature. *

Dancing with Daddy. *

She didn't like to sit still for these portraits. Oh, well...this is Ella, chattering away! *

One of the cuter pictures from this session. *

The photographer had to act fast...she was pushing the crate like a walker! *

One of my favorites. *

This is my girl...I can practically hear her say "mama!" *

See that mischievous look in her eyes? She's up to something!! *

I love this picture. My mom says she looks like Grandma Heinlein in this picture. *

This is cute...don't know if we'll use it or not, though. :) We'll see! *

First haircut. Actually, her first haircut was a few months ago, when I trimmed her bangs. But now that she's a wiggleworm, it is time to bring her to the pros! *

This salon was just for kids, and called Jack and Jill's. Nice place, neat setting. Not one tear! *

Post-haircut. *

In the grocery store just after her haircut...they gave her an Oreo in the bakery department!! *

Ella's daycare teacher's husband is a firefighter. Recently, he brought plastic fireman hats for the kids...Ella just calls it "hat" and loves to put it on. *

Our little Monkey Girl was a real Monkey for Halloween this year. *

She will even make "ooh-ooh, aaah aaah!" monkey noises if prompted. *

Getting ready to head on out! *

Walking with Daddy to the next house (she doesn't walk on her own yet...still won't let go!) *

I'm rather pleased with my pumpkin "art" this year--got lots of comments! *
