Ella: May 2003

New Toy? Play on the box!

First time past the first stair

Starting to turn around...

And now freaking out

Watching Baby Doolittle

On Mother's Day, we took as many pictures as possible of Jill and Ella.

We started at the (fake) creek in our neighborhood

Ella clapping

Ella takes a short break

Ella and Jill playing at home

Trying to walk

Blowing kisses

Trying out the neighboor's Barbie scooter

Out front of our house

Long day, didn't make it through dinner

Ella loves ice cream

We went to St. Charles for the Memorial Day weekend and Ella got to go to a couple of parties. The first was a family gathering at a park.

Choo Choo

Loved sliding with Grandma

Laughed the whole time in the swing

Hanging out with Fred

Going for a walk in her favorite stroller

The whole clan (camera on timer :)

Playing with a ball

Power lifter

Ella even got some cake

All worn out (but refusing to sleep)

Climber baby on a mission

Ella and Jeff

Climber baby again

The second party was a pool party!

I'm ready! Where's the pool?

Loving every minute of it

Motor boat noises or just sticking her tongue out?

Daddy working on her kicking

Drying out with Fred (he had goldfish)

Getting mugged

Opening her own present

Pretty complicated
