MomMom

Ellie just continues to change and grow each day.  She’s started to babble all the time, exploring the different sounds she can make.  Ma, ahhh, caa, eee, taa are some of her favorites. This morning I went to get her out of her crib and she stood up, looked right at me and squeeled, “MomMom!!!!” […]
