Things have been nuts around the Carlin household. Lisa has been putting in large amounts of hours at work and Billy has been preparing for a trad show. Ella is getting so big. Soon we are going to have to switch her from a infant car seat to a convertible car seat. She is long and lean. Ella's hair is getting longer as well and we can now put it in piggy tails. She has been crawling on all four for some time now and is now pulling her self up to stand. Two days ago she started to "side step" when holding on to the couch. Walking is soon to come. On August 17th we had a very scary day. Ella fell down a flight of stairs and we had our first major boo boo to deal with. A trip to Children's ER showed that she had two small bruises and no other injuries. It was scary, but also showed us how resilient kids really are. Ella talks often and her favorite phrase now is "da da da da..." She also says "hi." Although we know she doesn't know what it means it still makes us laugh. Ella has also started kissing us back by putting her open mouth on your cheek (and sometimes licking it.) It's sloppy, but we love it. This weekend was Ella's first OSU game. Billy was sooo excited to put her in her OSU onsie. We also recently celebrated Lisa's birthday and she got her first birthday card from Ella. Billy has to go to Atlanta on Labor Day for work so Lisa and Ella are tagging along. On Wednesday Lisa and Ella are driving to South Carolina to visit with Lisa's Aunt Joan, Uncle Jerry, and Cousin Jan. Ella will get to meet Lisa's family and play with Jan's children Kasey, Mackenize, and baby Jase. We are loving this stage and can't wait to see what Ella does next.
