The Garber Fam: 10 Months

So this thing is a sticker, huh? I wonder how I can get it off...

Ella is 10 months old and learning every day! She throws her hands up in the air when you say "up" and down when you say down "down." She can play peek-a-boo by herself, covering her face with sheets or a blanket and quickly revealing herself with a huge smile. When my mom sang her "If You're Happy and You Know It" the other day, Ella clapped on command throughout the song. She's starting to point and show us just how much she understands. It's so much fun to watch her go.

She is going all of the time. Since the crawling began, we've been following her around from one room to the next. We're exhausted-- as expected. She'll gladly pass up mounds of toys for a pair of flip flops or a long cord clear across the room (no matter how often we try to hide them). She's exploring everything!

We've been taking a music class once a week, and Ella and I both love it. She bounces during songs and smiles big when we dance. Here's hoping she has her dad's musical genes :) Our weekends have been full of brunches, bbqs, birthdays, and other meet-ups with family and friends. Last weekend was our last "free weekend" until October. Yes, October! We have weddings (and wedding events), family weekends and vacations, and parties filling August and September. We feel very lucky to share such a happy life. Speaking of happy, check out the recent happy photos of our Ella.
