A few firsts

Miss Ella has been busy figuring out a few things. This week she mastered turning on and off her crib aquarium. Oh sure, she doesn't like it when she turns it off, but then she can just turn it back on.

Then Ella figured out what needs to happen in the rear... she is now pushing herself up with her legs and pushing forward. Now all that is left is the combo of arms and legs and she will be one crawling baby.

She's also starting to figure out what that crib thing is all about, and when she's done being mesmerized by the aquarium, she seems to suddenly realize just what we're trying to do. And she looks up and you see in her eyes, as clear as day, she's thinking, "What the deuce? You're trying to make me go to sleep! Well, I'm not tired yet!" (Yes, in our minds, her inner dialogue sounds like Stewie.)

But then she finally falls quiet, she stops practicing her almost-crawling, stops turning the aquarium on and off, and we are rewarded with this:

Stewie voice, that is hilarious! Sounds like she is a little smartie pants, I guess the Stewie voice fits then! In my mind Preston sounds more like Yogi Bear...wonder what that means. :)
