A few more random pics to finish up the rounds from August. Honestly, I did not take many pictures over the past 2 months. Ella got a stomach bug and was really puny for about 3 weeks start to finish. Nobody wants to see pictures of that. Trust me. These show the healthy version of our kiddo. It stressed Bert and I beyond belief for the bug to linger that long, but at the end of the day that is how long it takes to get out of the system. First time parents, no doubt!
Standing up!!! Very official first steps were August 25th! Takes one or two and then falls on her diaper, but she will be nonstop soon.
This is a picture that I love! Ella smiling from ear to ear, yelling with delight. August was a hard month for our family, as Ella's Uncle John died after a year-long fight with colon cancer. We took Ella to Dallas for almost a week to be with John and the rest of the Gulledge family. It was beautiful to see the smile on John's face when he saw her at the hospital. She reached out to grab his fingers and he was all grins. Ella was an amazing child that week. Strange places for her to sleep, very few naps, and many new faces. She got to meet many wonderful people along the way.
I guess that is one of the beautiful things about being a child...you become a source of happiness to so many people when things are sad, just by smiling. She sure brings a smile to her daddy and mommy every day.
