"She can't stay here another minute!"

We have quite the little actress at our house these days. Her recent fascination with Princesses has led us to buy her Beauty and the Beast. Now, remember when the Beast yells at Bell to get out and on her way, running out of the castle, the others are trying to stop her? She says, "I can't stay here another minute". Well, the other day I find Ella stealing all the dish towels, flinging them over her shoulders yelling, "I can't stay here another minute!" It took me a good five solid minutes of just listening to her as she would yell at me, then go running into the other room. Once I figured it out, I couldn't stop laughing. Love this girl.

She did it. She can officially crawl. And we are so happy about it. It's kind of that bitter-sweet type of thing for me. This means I don't have to hold her all the time, but it also means that during Church or anywhere else that should be quiet, she will not stay on my lap to save my life. We're also relieved. With her only having one full hand, I worried that this wouldn't happen. But it did. Some days I worry that she is going to rip off her little nubbins, but they are starting to get calloused so I guess I don't worry about it as much. She is starting to figure a lot of things out with that little hand and I'm so grateful!
