Ellie is on the move...and she is fast!
She started pulling herself up in her crib about a month ago and now all she wants to do is pull herself up and stand.

She crawls FAST and so we've realized the all-hands & eyes-on-Ellie necessity that seemed to spring up overnight. We are babyproofing but realizing there is so much she can get in to. She loves to dump over the cat's water bowls, open her bottom dresser drawer and pull everything out, and pulls herself up on anything she can get her hands on. We try to be there to watch her yet give her some freedom to learn, which has resulted in a few bumps on the head...nothing serious:)She has four teeth on the bottom and one coming in on the top. Her favorite sound this last week is brrmm...brmmm (like a motorcycle) and she is laughing all the time (at us some times we think).
Dan, Ellie, and I are all looking forward to the spring when we can get outside more. We have had a number of nice days already and have spent those outside with her at the zoo, botanical gardens, and on neighborhood walks. 
Here she is having dinner outside with her friend/neighbor Luci Rae.
They are a bit overdue, but here are a couple of pictures from Ellie's 6 month photo shoot-our friend and neighbor Andy took these great shots at his studio. 
You can see them all at:
Grandpa Roger is coming to visit in two weeks and we are all looking forward to that. Also looking forward to seeing all of the Wittmanns just after Ellie's first birthday in July for cousin Kristin's wedding (she's marrying a Dan so she's off to a good start:)!
Happy Spring!
