my girl is 10 months old! only two months until her first birthday. i am terribly excited. hopefully her Grandparents Medina will be able to come out and visit and to see all the wonderful things that Ella is doing. She just figured out clapping today. i have been manuervering her hands for months, trying to teach her because she would become so excited whenever i clapped. Today, however, she put her hands together and clapped once and i made a big deal of it so she did it again and again. Yay, Ella.
Ella has also found the courage to let go when she is standing and maintaining her balance for moments. i haven't seen her do this much but we will work on it over the weekend. Maybe her first step alone will happen real soon.
Today we went for a sled ride. the weather outside is delightful for January so we took her out to enjoy it. i couldn't tell if she loved the adventure but it was something different. i hope the weather remains this way so we can go out more.
