This week, Ella decided crawling is for the birds. About mid-week, she started walking more than crawling. She had previously crawled when she was tired, or after she fell she would just crawl to wherever she was going. But in the last few days, she has been walking nearly everywhere. She loses her balance and falls quite often, but she hops right back up and starts walking again. I have a feeling it won't be long and she'll be running!
We've been working on getting her to eat more real, solid foods rather than mashed or pureed baby foods. She's been eating a variety of soft fruits, cooked vegetables, and some bread and crackers. She seems to be enjoying it too; she is refusing to eat much baby food but gladly eats small chunks. I guess finger food is more fun! Yogurt is another new favorite food. When she sees the yogurt cup come out of the fridge, she knows what's coming!
One morning this week, we had a play date with two new friends. They each have a little boy about a year and a half old, so we got the three of them together to play. Even though she's just learning to do some of the things they're doing, she kept right up!
Despite trying to cut three teeth right now, Ella has been sleeping pretty well at night. But of course that means she only takes one nap during the day!
And now for some photos of the week...
we watched the psu homecoming parade with some friends, and ella loved watching everyone go by!
