And we're off!

A good friend, Emily, gave us the idea to create this blog for photos of and updates on our little Ella. Today is the first day - and an important one because Ella learned to clap today! We were having a skype conversation with her Eastern grandparents and all of a sudden, she got those hands together! It was very exciting for us, but she seemed even more thrilled with the discovery. This weekend, she also started leaning forward and dunking her head in her own tub (trying to drink the water) and singing along to Mariachi music at the local Mexican restaurant. What a week! It is amazing to think of all the exciting new tricks that lie ahead. Love to all - HAM
