Chapter Ten, In Which Ella Pays Attention To A Very Small Object

In fact, this is a favorite pasttime of hers, paying attention to details. This also means that she must be watched very closely, because any detail she sees might end up being a loose piece of something-or-other, which pretty much always ends up in her mouth.

Special Bonus: Ella Crawls

So Ella just did her first almost-nonstop-across-the-room crawl yesterday! She had previously been doing a few crawl "steps" to get to another toy and then sit down, but the bulk of her "I just have to get to that forbidden object" crawling was done walrus style.

Long-time readers of The Daily Ella might remember an entry made in July of 2004 entitled "Crawling Soon to a Theater Near You". The photo that's posted along with the entry does look like she might be wanting to crawl, but really that was just Adventures In Trying To Hold Your Head Up. On the other hand, I was convinced that she would be crawling soon after that.

I didn't know very much about babies then.

Hmm. I don't really know all that much about babies now.

p.s. - this is edition number 116 of The Daily Ella (wow!)
