The Artist Formerly Known as No Walk & Stander

You know how Phil was calling Ella "No Walk and Stander" because she is always standing and clapping or dancing or bouncing in the middle of rooms, but would never take a step (except for the one time)?

Well - Ella is now the Artist Formerly Known as No Walk and Stander. I think we will give her a symbol for her name... just kidding.

This weekend she has decided to start walking! It isn't much and it definately isn't full time, but she started out showing off for us early Saturday morning with 2 steps... then by the evening she was all the way up to 4 at a time! She gets so excited and proud of herself that she has to sit down to laugh and clap.

She is so adorable I could just eat her up!

Way to go Ella!

she may change that name, but Ole YElla is still loud and proud and I have a feeling that nickname will stick around for quite a bit longer, being the littlest one you have to make yourself KNOWN!
