She Loves Her Sippy Cup

While shopping at Babies R Us a few weeks back, Erik and I came across this sippy cup. We just thought it was the cutest thing and we had to get it for little Ella. Ella has been experimenting with sippy cups for about a month now and she absolutely loves them. She got the hang of it pretty quickly and her eyes light up every time she sees one. We've only been filling it with water as we don't want to give her juice until she's a toddler.

She especially enjoys gnawing on the top of it and popping it in and out of her mouth. I'm sure it feels good on the gums. No teeth just yet...still waiting.

This is one of the first things I bought when I found out we were having a girl!

Spending Time with Nonno and Nonni

Ella Playing with her Nonni

Two weekends ago, Erik's parents traveled back North from South Carolina to drop off Victoria and Austin after spending a month with them. While they were visiting, they looked at several houses in hopes of finding the perfect one. They are looking to move back very soon to be closer to family, especially the grand kids. Ella was able to spend some time with her Nonno and Nonni while they were visiting. They even got to watch her for a whole day while Erik and I were at work. It was a great help as my Dad was going in for skin cancer surgery and my mom, who usually watches her on Wednesday's, Thursday's and half a day on Friday's, wanted to be with him. Thanks Nonno and Nonni for helping out - we are very grateful!
