15 Months!





Wow!

Ella turned 15 months! Hard to believe. She had her 15 month check-up today. She is perfectly healthy. She weighed in at 24lbs. 7 oz. and is just over 31 inches. That means she has gained 17 pounds since birth and has grown 10 inches! Getting to be a big girl. She is into everything-walking/running, climbing onto chairs and steps and is just constantly on the go! She has several "words"...mama, dada, Sadie, doggie, baby, didi (binky), ball, and go. She is turning into a little girl and we are enjoying every second! Although she has started having a few little tantrums...

Christmas






We had a great holiday all together. We spent Christmas Eve and the following day at Ella's grandparents. Christmas Eve afternoon we went and saw Santa arrive on an antique firetruck. Ella was sleepy, but was very excited when Santa gave her a cute puppet. That evening we had a quiet night and went to midnight Mass (well, Ella stayed home with Grandpa and Auntie and slept). The next morning Ella was so surprised that Santa had come and he left her lots of great gifts! She LOVED her kitchen that Daddy made and her Bitty Baby doll and cute clothes from her Aunties. Ella's CT cousins came over mid-morning and all the kids had fun opening gifts and playing. We had a great day and we are so grateful that we all could be together and are healthy.
