Ella is growing up.

I don't get many action shots of  Ella because I'm not with her on excursions, but she loves the beach, loves the sand (not on her hands) loves slides and swings already. She is intrepid.

She also loves her family. Here she is with dad and granny on a day when the teeth were playing up. She did manage a smile later.

Intrigued by shadows. She wants to go in the water but this is April in the north of Scotland. Bit early yet.
