Happy eight months, stinkyface!

Eight months ago today we met Ella, and we've been remarkably lucky since. She's growing and learning like crazy that her time with us is both compressed and expanded: it seems like such a short time ago we brought her home, scared and jubilant at this new life, it seems like such a long time ago that she last slept in her swing, or couldn't pick herself up off her back.

The only way we could be happier is if she picked the winning powerball numbers last weekend.
