Vertical

Oh, boy...Ella is only eight-months-old and already pulling herself up on everything! She prefers being vertical to crawling and the ottoman is her favorite new standing place. We've had to move all remote controls, chapsticks, coasters, books, and the iPad off of it for fear that baby slobber will ruin anything within her grasp. She hasn't quite figured out how to walk around it yet, but she has learned that she can plop down on her booty and then grab a toy on the ground and bring it back up with her. I am pretty amazed that she can do all this at her age and Jeff and I are sure than within months she's going to be running around all over the house which will definitely keep us on our toes. I love experiencing all these milestones with our baby girl, but I must say it seems like it's all happening so fast! I feel like her baby stage was way too short and toddlerhood is approaching so quickly. Before we know it, she will be starting school, going to prom, graduating, and getting married. Sheesh, slow down, sweetie, I am not ready for any of that yet!
