Day 92
Day 58
Day 54
I wanted a shot of Ella in her hooded towel, but I didn't have enough light and I didn't have my card to reflect the flash, so I ended up with this. Ella is cute, but the picture is blah as far as having to use my flash. Oh well!
Day 38
We were pretty busy unpacking and resting up from our retreat, so I didn't have much time to take pictures, but I really loved her smile in this photo.
Day 31
Ella was sad going to bed. Usually she goes down very easily, but I think she got just a bit too tired before bed!
Day 28
I've really been wanting to get some shots of her sleeping, but she rarely will fall asleep if she isn't in her crib, which makes things a little more difficult (I'm always worried about waking her up if she's already sound asleep in her crib). However, today I had to wake Ella up anyway, so I thought I would take a few shots of her. I thought she would wake up (I had to use my flash), but she slept through my picture-taking!

Ella is just a little over a week away from her first birthday, but we had some family in, so we went ahead and let her have some cake. She loved it!!

Day 15
I'm not pleased with my shot today. It was one of those days that I probably just needed to suck it up and use my internal flash, because there was very little natural light in my house at all (it was really rainy and cloudy). And, yes, she was playing with a dog water bowl (thankfully, empty, water bowl).
Day 8
I must quit waiting until the end of the day to take my picture. When I wait until the end of the day, I have to use my pop-up flash, which I'm really trying to avoid.
