Back for real this time

Casey gifted me an iPad for our 2nd anniversary so I am going to give this blog another shot. With Elle crawling and very interested in computer wires, sitting at the desktop for any length of time became impossible.


Our baby girl is growing into the most amazing toddler! She is such a joy to have around. Your love for your child is unlike anything else. Elle had her 9-month well baby visit last week and is in the 97% percentile all around. She is a little over 22 lbs! I'm having some difficulty carrying her around now...the only drawback of having a big baby in my opinion. She is wearing 12-18 month or just 18 month clothing now. It's so adorable. Toddler clothes is SO cute! She has a few pairs of pajamas now and is such a mini person. She is doing a great job pulling herself up to stand and getting quicker everyday. She "cruised" on the couch from her daddy to me on Sunday but has yet to do it again. Next comes cruising, then standing up without holding onto things, and then WALKING! Eek!


I can and can't believe we've been living with my parents in Orange County for about 6 weeks now. It's been such a positive lifestyle change. Casey and I were never LA people.


Here are some photos from August...

Such a Big Girl...

Elle is getting so big... 

We Have a Crawler!

Elle started to crawl this past Monday! At first, she would crawl a few steps, and then sit back and clap. It was so cute. Here are some videos from Monday:

Grandpa Wojciech got Elle a spacesuit when he and Babcia were in Florida for the last launch last year. We decided to give it a whirl on Monday to see if it fit. Not quite but pretty close! Elle looks so adorable :) We are going to the Beach Club in a few with Aunt Agie and Aunt Dana. Elle and I just got home from MyGym, she is napping away, and I am running around like a chicken that just got it's head cut off. So much to squeeze in during her 30 minute naps--including a blog update.
