Ellie is 10 Months Old

Note the drool about to drip off of her chin.
She is always backing herself into corners these days.
It is impossible for her to stay still for one of these pictures.

Ellie is rolling everywhere. I'm serious, the girl rolls constantly. As I type this she is rolling under the kitchen table and attempting to scooch herself backwards. She is evidence that I need to sweep the floor. :-( She loves Riley and wants to be around him all the time, though he doesn't ever want her to touch him. She is making all kinds of sounds and yesterday made the ga-ga-ga sound. She says "ma-ma" and she can say "da-da" but not really in reference to Griff. She is learning to give kisses and she loves to wave and bop to music. I just love her so much. It is hard to imagine the joy that such a little stinky, crying child can give you but I grow more in love for her each day.
Riley is picking up so much these days and I feel like his vocabulary doubles daily. We are working together on being thankful and also acknowledging God for all he has given us. We have a giant map of the world in our living room and this morning Riley looked at it and said, "Wow, it's amazing." I responded by saying, "Yes, Riley it is amazing. God made it all and He is amazing." And Riley sweetly said in return, "He's amazing." He is amazing isn't he! The God who created the world and also created each of us, unique and in his imagine. It is humbling.
