Moving in the right direction

Ellie has gotten very good at getting up on her hands and knees (and even gets up on her hands and feet now) and army crawls backwards, but today, she crawled forward for the first time! It was just one little step/crawl, but it was very exciting! She did it a couple of times and we sort of caught it on tape once:

In other news, Damian is back from China (yea!) -- Ellie gets SO excited every time she sees him. Unfortunately, both Damian and Ellie have colds. ;-( Hopefully they'll both make speedy recoveries and not swap colds.

Today, Ellie and I "interviewed" a new pediatrician (we're still trying to find one closer to the new house). The doctor was nice enough, but he said Ellie had a nice "beta-carotene glow." I haven't noticed, but in response to being called orange, Ellie had carrots and squash for dinner, and tomorrow she's trying a new food -- cantaloupe. ;-)
