Growing Up in the Backyard

We just continue to marvel at how busy and active little Ella is.  And now that she is walking, she just looks so much more grown up to us--even though she is still so tiny.  Since it was beautiful today, we headed outside after lunch for some backyard time before afternoon naps.  Ella immediately walked over to Logan's little table (where he had eaten lunch and left his plate, fork, and a few pieces of quesadilla), sat down, and tried to feed herself with a fork for the first time.  It was so cute to watch her try to do something so grown up!  Ella then left the deck and walked over to the play area where the other kids were playing and immediately started climbing the ladder.  She is so crazy daring.  Ron immediately put a stop to this and helped her go down the slide numerous times in Lia's AND Logan's laps (I know, high risk).    After some sliding time, we ventured over to the sport's court for some bike time.  Ella immediately took to Logan's tiny, balance bike and LOVED cruising around and around on it.  She even threw such a bad tantrum when we took it off her that she banged her head on the cement court!  Oh dear.  What a fun afternoon and what a grown-up girl!

Wielding Logan's fork in the air like a sword!

And there they go!

She is so grown up all of the sudden!  What happened to my baby?
