sit ups

Ella's thing now is sitting and standing. if she can have it her way, she would rather sit on our lap or push herself to stand on our lap (she's not at all stable, but very strong and can support her own weight! even the doctor was happy about it).
sometimes when she sits in her bouncer she exercises her ab muscles and tries to sit up.

we got this little baby seat, it supports her all around and lets her sit on her own even though she's still not stable:


now we need to prepare some stuff for daycare - like lable her clothes and bibs.
i'm planning to make a little tote bag with her name on it, for all her stuff (change of clothes, bottles, etc).
another thing i plan to do, is to convert "Mr Echo" into a fabric form, so that little curious hands don't tare it up.

i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the hundreds of pictures that we took during the vacation, so it's hard to put a decent "vacation" post together. maybe i'll work on it this weekend.
