Ela

I have been living with my sister Lauren, and her husband Jered, for the past 9 months. I take care of my precious niece Gabriela during the day while Lauren and Jered are at work. I have enjoyed taking care of Ela and making precious memories that I will cherish for my lifetime. She is the most adorable, sweet baby in the world, watching her grow up has truly been the most important part of my life thus far. At 10 months old, she is into everything! Currently she is sitting on my bedroom floor with all the candles that she knocked off my bedside table and is putting her pacifiers and other little objects into the candles. I love watching her trying to figure things out and explore new things. Her recent hobby is to put her toys into the dogs water bowl in the kitchen, she finds it very amusing.

The weather has been changing here in Georgia and its finally beginning to feel like fall! Which means I can finally go outside again without melting! I have been taking Ela to the park and walking a few miles everyday, its good to get out of the house and exercise and Ela loves watching other people and seeing the dogs play in the dog park. She also loves to swing in the playground when we are done walking. I tried running with her while she was in the jogging stroller, but I found that it hurts my back to run without moving my arms... So I'll stick to walking with her and running by myself.

Shes a healthy baby that loves to exercise! A girl after my own heart :)
