Ella was so happy to see her Grandma and Grandpa and she was ready to show off all her new tricks! 
Look, I am all ready for football season and to cheer on the Hokies with my touchdown move! 
They are going to score lots of touchdowns so I am practicing a lot! 
Grandpa and Ella share a favorite food, Bananas! And the way to Ella's heart is through her tummy so she was very happy! 
Ella and Daddy having a good time! 
Ella is a wild thing lately and getting into everything and definitely testing her limits. She loves to crawl under the kitchen table and then pull herself up under it and also try and crawl up her highchair. We have to keep a close eye on her! 
Hi Mom and Dad, catch me if you can! 
Check out this smile and laugh, I think someone is having fun and loving all the attention from Grandma and Grandpa. 
Someone else is not as happy, she misses all the attention she is getting. But she is also right in the action! 
Grandma and Grandpa can't make it down to Ella;s 1st birthday party so they gave her presents early. It's safe to say Ella's favorite part was the tissue paper! 
Look, I got a Fancy Nancy doll! The box is so fun to play with! 
Ella is definitely growing like a weed, I can't wait to see how tall she is at her 1 year appt. When she is standing, you can really see how tall she is! 
When we went back to Pennsylvania in May for Kelly's wedding, Ella wasn't too sure about Grandpa. Not sure if it was her age, stranger anxiety or she was scared of his crutches but this time they came a long way and are good buddies! 
As you can tell, due to the extreme temps, we stayed inside and Ella entertained us a lot of the time! 
Ella showing off another new trick, clapping! She loves to clap when she gets excited (mostly for meal time!) 
How can you resist that face?? 
Ella with Grandma and Grandpa 
The one thing we did do both days was set up Ella's pool on the deck and splash around and have some fun. We even got some new fun pool toys this weekend since she didn't have any and stole all the other kids' toys last week at the pool. She loves to try and "catch" the water. We were sad to see them go this morning but despite the HOT weather, we had a good visit and lots of bonding time! Hopefully next time they visit, it won't be extreme weather since last time they came during the huge ice storm in the winter!
Ella started swim lessons this morning and I will blog about that later but let's just say, its a pretty safe bet to say she is not the next Michael Phelps.
