Climbing

Ella climbs everything. She's all over the furniture, her picnic table, the step stool; she tips over boxes and the laundry baskets to see how she can use them to climb something out of her reach; and she uses the handle on the oven and the storage drawer underneath to see what's in reach on the counter. She also flopped herself out of her crib today too as I was in her room cleaning. I left the side down and turned around to see her flip over the rails and land on her butt. She was more scared than anything but did bite her tongue.

Great-Grandpa bought her an Elmo chair that giggles and shakes for a few seconds when she sits in it. She loves it and nose dives right into it. She loves to sit in chairs, on the couch, her stool, the preschool table. She'll crawl right up and sit politely with her feet crossed and her hands in her lap. It's adorable and I'll get some pictures soon.

Ron and I bought new phones, it's been a long time coming as we've had the same phones for 2 1/2 years now. My cellphone ended up in Canada with my Dad so we thought it the perfect time to upgrade to camera phones. Of course, mine is pink and girlie so I'm happy. I also bought the Bluetooth gadget to go with it and though I hate when people walk around with it in their ear, talking away, I figured it'd be a safe thing in the car. I'm always out and about and talk on my phone while driving...I know, not the safest thing so now I'm going hands-free. I'll post some pics soon.

Oooh, Auntie Erin is coming September 27th for 2 weeks! We are so excited to show her all the beaches we've found since she was here last... though there was a shark attack at one of them a couple days after we found it... we won't be going there!
