Ella, Friends, and a Big 'Ol Tumbleweed

Ella is changing so fast recently I decided it was again time for a blog post. She went to the doctor for her 9 month check up today. Here are the stats: height 26.5 (13th percentile), weight 16.14 (13th percentile), and head circumference 17.75 (60th percentile). I would like to say she is a growing girl, but she really isn't growing very fast.
Here she is flashing her new tooth. Today Ben tells me that he and the doctor saw the other front, bottom tooth.
Her friend Andrew Bennett came to visit a few nights ago. Andrew is 5 months old.

The two pictures above are for Grandma Shearhart. Ella is eating her first snack of mozzarella cheese and graham crackers.

Today when we came home there was a HUGE tumbleweed in our front yard. I have no clue where it came from, but there it was.

It was big enough to hide behind. Ben took it behind the fence. It was taller than him!

You KNOW you live in Texas when you discover a huge tumbleweed in your yard! How funny! And the pictures of Ella are adorable, as always!

Great Pics! She IS growing so fast. Tiff she is just like you when you were little ....you were always in the lower percentile - but look you turned out fantastic!! Love you all.

Oh and PS - Andrew looks like he might outgrow Ella!! He has gotten big!

Andrew is only 5 months old and he is VERY close. Anthony is 6 months old, weighs more, and is taller. She is just little.

Ella is so beautiful--can't wait to see her again!

Also, the tumbleweed amuses me.

She is too cute! I am okay with her not growing quickly. It makes me a little less sad.
That tumbleweed is huge! Reminds me of Dodge. We just don't have those here. P.S. Completely jealous that you are outside without a coat in the middle of winter!
