As a younger person, I never believed anyone who said things like, “Just wait until you get older! Time flies!” or, “Wait until you have children. They grow so fast!” But it’s so completely true!
I just uploaded several months’ worth of photos, and I can’t believe how much Ella has changed and grown.
I saw this picture of her playing in the kitchen in July, and thought, “wow, she was still a baby then!”
In August, she was starting to change. She built her first block tower(s) by herself and was so proud of her work! We went to Pittsburgh for Janna and Eric’s wedding and she screamed in the car the whole way there and the whole way back. It was the longest I’ve ever been away from her in one day. The wedding was gorgeous and so much fun!
In September, I was able to put two tiny pigtails in her hair! We went to the Pumpkin Festival and she slept on my back while we walked around.
In October, she was finally walking! She walked around the block as a ladybug on trick-or-treat night.
In November, she decided that she liked Gram and Grandpa reading to her. The Buckeyes beat Michigan and she proudly wore her OSU garb. :) We drove to Tennessee to see her other grandparents! The car ride was stressful and long, but we made it there and back safely.
December was crazy busy with Christmas with all kinds of family!
And here we are, at the end of January! I celebrated my birthday this month with friends and family, and had the best birthday ever! We ate at Genji’s, our favorite Japanese Steakhouse. Afterward, we ate cake and played on the wii and sang Karaoke. A great time was had by all. And since then, time has been steadily moving along!

she is so so so beautiful!! Ruby has that little polka dot dress and that hot pink teddy bear from build-a-bear (my brother made it for her).
Isn't it crazy just how much things seem to ring true once you're a mom. I always rolled my eyes at the people who repeatedly said stuff about time going by so fast, and here I am doing the same.
