18 months old

I seriously can not believe Ella will be a year and a half old tomorrow! Time is just flying. She has changed so much in the last 6 months so I can't imagine how much she will change by the time she is 2. Here are some fun facts about Ella at 18 months old...

Ella loves to climb on everything. I have caught her on the coffee table, kitchen table, dishwasher, our bed, and even on top of the toilet.

Ella is constantly on the move. I don't know where she gets all this energy. I am usually in a coma once I go to sleep from pure exhaustion.

Ella is so busy she doesn't even want to take time to eat. She is the pickiest eater I have ever seen. Hopefully she grows out of that.

Ella can say "ball" "dog" "duck" "da-da" "bird" and "bug".

Ella knows where her mouth, ears, belly, and elbows are. She is especially obsessed with her belly button and ours too!

Ella wears size 18 months clothes and size 4 shoe.

Ella goes to bed at 8 and usually sleeps around 12-13 hours.

Ella has 10 teeth.

Ella loves to run errands with mommy. She gets especially excited when we pull up to Target.

Ella is a VERY strong willed child.

Ella knows what she wants and if she doesn't get it she will throw fit.

Ella loves to ride on the "putt putt" (lawn mower).

Ella's favorite playmate is her cousin, Autumn.

Ella loves to be outside.

Ella usually will not sleep anywhere except in her own bed.

Ella loves Baby Einstein and Dora the Explorer.

Ella has an extreme love for dogs. That's my girl:)

Ella loves to go on wagon rides.

Ella take a 2-3 hour nap everyday.

Ella challenges me and my patience on a daily basis.

Ella is such a loved little girl, and I couldn't imagine my life without her!!

A little bit of this and that...

Ella and her buddy, Olivia, playing together in the pool. I don't think there is anything cuter than two babies in their swimsuits!

Haha:)

Elliott makes the best foot stool!

Ella just being the happy girl she is!

Little angel

Look at her, doesn't she look so sweet and innocent?! Last night this little angel locked her mommy out of the house. I ran outside to get Ella's cozy coupe, because a storm was blowing in. She was standing at the back door watching me. I go to open the door, and it's LOCKED! I was home alone so for a split second I almost started freaking out until I remembered the front door was unlocked. Thank goodness or I would have had to call Adam to come unlock the door. We have a little hellion on our hands! Look out!

Happy Girl!

This is a sight we don't see very often...Ella is actually sitting still and being quiet

Autumn's first birthday

Autumn turned 1 on the 8th, and today was her first birthday party. What a great first year it has been with her. She is such a sweet, happy little girl. Minus the lack of air conditioning (my parents air conditioner went out last night, and they have to get a new one on Monday) it was a great party!

The adorable cake!

Getting ready to blow out the candle...
She was all about the cake!!
