New Milestones

Ella has hit some new milestones recently that I wanted to document! She has started reaching and grabbing for her toys, and once she gets hold of one, it almost always goes straight to her mouth.

She has also really started to become constantly entertained by watching her big brother. I noticed her first start watching him maybe about a month ago, but now it truly entertains her and keeps her happy for quite a while. She will just lay there while Carter is playing and talking and just stare at him. She literally watches him ALL the time. I wonder what she thinks about all the he does? I'd like to think it's something like "Ohhh, neat, I wish I could do that!" But it's probably more like, "What in the world is that crazy kid doing?"  Poor Carter.... when he was this age, what in the world kept him so entertained all the time? I'm guessing Mommy was just not as fun to watch. Anyway, it's pretty special! :)

And she loves to stand up now! She just thinks it's so much fun to be held her up by her hands.
