Day 308

Ellie is exactly 44 weeks old! These days, she loves yogurt, traveling in Dad's hiking backpack, yanking grass, and pulling up to a stand! She loves to laugh and, true to her middle name, loves to play -- peekaboo is a favorite! We joke that she is a bruiser. Ellie is vocal and active and persistent -- no shrinking violets here! She continues to be a reliable night sleeper, knock on wood, and a great eater.  In addition to yogurt, she likes munching on puffs and teething biscuits.  She is growing by leaps and bounds!

Here are a few photos:

Ellie takes a break from dinner to pose for a picture!

I think I will see this thoughtful look on her face again, as she grows...

Ellie preferred this paper towel roll to her puzzle, but she chewed through it almost immediately, and it had to be confiscated!

We took a little overnight trip to Shenandoah, and Ellie enjoyed some time outdoors.

Ellie kept me company on this Metro ride -- her second ever!

Ten month old baby!

Next up, possibly a baseball game with Ellie this weekend, and a trip to Ann Arbor next weekend!
