Summertime

So, it's supposedly summer here, but it has rained everyday for the last few weeks off and on. We have kept busy despite the weather and Ella continues to grow and learn more and more each day. She loves books right now and loves to read Growing Vegetable Soup about ten times a day. So, today we went to the library and picked out a few new books for Mommy and Daddy's sake!
Ella is quite silly these days and loves to play with other kids.I work doing Early Intervention 2 mornings a week and Ella goes to her cousins house which she loves! I have fond memories of playing with our cousins as kids and I hope Ella will too.
Here are a few pictures from the past month or so...

18 months Old!

Okay, so Ella is actually almost 19 months old!! How crazy is that? I haven't blogged in a very looong time. Bad me. Ella is a busy girl these days and so are we!

These days Ella...

Walks, runs,jumps and claps on command!
She says many words..."mama, dada, doggie, baba(bottle), cup, cookie, Emma, Sadie, baby, up, didi (pacifier-her most favorite possession), ball and I am sure even more than I can think of right now!

She loves her bath time, being outside, animals of any kind, riding in her wagon and playing with her dolls.

She knows several body parts and can point to them...nose, mouth, teeth, feet, toes, ears, eyes, tummy and hands.

Loves her cousins and other kids. She also loves music and books-her favorite these days is, Moo, Baa, La, La, La.

And, biggest news of all these days is that Ella is going to be a big sister! Baby #2is coming on or around November 10th. We are very excited and feel very blessed to be expecting a new baby!

Pictures to follow once I can find the cord to my camera to connect it to the computer...

Ella's Fashion Show

Ella already likes to pick out her own clothes. We are in trouble! She also loves to wear hats and shoes at all times in the house. Typical for an almost 18-month-old I am sure, but some of the outfits just crack us up!

What a Difference A Year Makes...

This picture was taken exactly one year ago today-Ella was almost 4 months old. Now she is a full-blown toddler! I miss the baby days, but she is so fun these days-we love her so much and are so blessed to have a happy, healthy baby/toddler!
Happy Valentine's Day!

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...
