How we spent our weekend.

Wes and I decided to make a trip to Kentucky to visit with my Mom and Stepdad.  It was a really good weekend even though it rained most of the time and the temperature dropped, which left us ridiculously cold.  I thought this yucky stuff was behind us, but I'm afraid not.  Oh well!  We tried not to let it ruin our time there.  Ella Grace got to spend some quality time with her grandparents and that's all that really matters.  Red absolutely had a blast running around through the woods and tracking whatever it is she thinks she is tracking.  I think she thinks that she is some kind of hunting dog, the way she carries on going after things.  It's the funniest thing.

Our first day there was really nice and it was definitely a beautiful day out.  The sun was so warm, so we played outside for a while, and Ella Grace got to eat her dinner outside.  She also tried to eat grass, sticks, and dirt, but we managed to pry all of that stuff out of her hands and mouth before she swallowed it.  YUCK!!  While she was not eating everything in sight, she was attempting to chase the dogs around the yard and screaming at them while they ran circles around her.  When she figures out how to walk and run, they better watch out.  All she wants to do is play with the dogs.  It's so cute!

 Diaper change in process.

Ella Grace also started saying Daddy this week.  She woke up from a nap and BAM!  "Dadadadadada."  Over and over again.  I got so excited I called Wes at work so he could hear the good news.  It made his day.  She is trying to say Momma too.  She started saying that while we were in Kentucky, but she only says it when she is eating or wanting something.  Hahahaha!  She is a fast learner.

Another thing she started doing this week was pulling herself up on the furniture.  She was only doing it in her bed and then this weekend she was pulling herself on the coffee table, stairs, and ottoman.  She has been doing it even more since we have been back in Indianapolis to.  It's so funny.  She will grab her little car that she can ride on and try to walk and push it, but she falls everytime.  I bet she will be walking sooner than later for sure.  I can't wait (not the sarcasm)!  Then she will be everywhere and in everything.  Thank goodness she is learning to do all this during the warmer season, or what's suppose to be warmer, so that we can go play outside and crawl/run around.

Overall, this week and weekend were a great weekend because we got to get away from Indianapolis for a while, but we are always glad to be back home to.  Now I just have get Ella Grace back on schedule.  She has been waking up at 5:30 and 6:00 am since we have been back and it has made for a couple of long days.  Wish me luck! 

Here are some more pictures from this weekend.  Please notice my brother's new look.

Ella Grace had to help daddy because he wasn't doing to well on his own.
