Ella enjoyed her first Halloween tonight. She and Daddy handed out candy to the neighborhood kids from 6-8pm and we had a fire with cedar logs in the firepit on the driveway. She also tasted her first candy, a blue sour twizzler!
Check out the Flickr site for more of tonight’s photos.
Ella and Grandpa had fun playing on the floor this weekend!
Ella played for an hour with the toy stove Great-Grandma Thelma Durigg played with as a child.
I took the day off today to spend some time with my little girl.
This picture was from August 29, but it captures something that I’m sure every parent feels. I love this little creature more than I ever imagined and the same way I always knew I would.
She’s an amazing copy of Charlotte and I with a little twist in ways that surprise me every day. My life and all the decisions that led to her creation were the right ones.
The thing that amazes me the most is the “Daddy look” she gives me. I was always afraid that I would be “some guy that’s around a lot.” It’s wonderful to be much more than that…now I just have to keep living up to my own expectations for this big little relationship.
I’m sure everyone says something like that, but this is MY little girl.
About 2 feet actually! On Saturday, we went to Freeman’s Farm in Genoa Township to pick out the perfect pumpkins.
(For the record, Daddy’s about 5′10”)
Ella can be a real clown sometimes! She’s always got something to say (in her own baby babble of course).
This is an especially beautiful picture Charlotte took on September 2, 2007. I stumbled across it while looking through the images we’ve taken and wanted to share!
Ella’s first trip to the Columbus Zoo!, originally uploaded by Brian, Charlotte, & Ella Sturtz.
Ella saw the fish, Tigers, Lions, Elephants, Rhinocerous, Red Panda, and a little asian bear today at the zoo for the first time. It was 93 degrees but really fun.
Ella took her first steps tonight. She may have a little while before she is a bona fide walker but she’s on her way!
Brian put her little sandal shoes on her today and we think that helped keep her balance. But she took more steps later in her bare feet.
Okay, I’m posting some video straight to our site instead of via YouTube. Here’s the 1st clip:
