What I can do
- Wow – I can move all over the place! I crawl at lightening speed and am starting to experiment with this whole walking thing I have heard soo much about.
- I can speak! Granted – I have a limited vocabulary right now.. But I can say Mama, Dada, Baba and a few other choice words. I know more words than I speak and am adding to my vocabulary every day!
- I have teeth and I am not afraid to use them! (and if your fingers get too close to my mouth — i will prove it!)
- I can start to do something I am not supposed to do — like touch the radiator — when mommy or daddy calls me on it — i turn to look at them and give them the “I am too cute to be responsible” grin..
- I LOVE climbing — anything – dogs, people, furniture – you name it!
What I
like/don’t like
- I LOVE books! I will bring a book to mommy or daddy- climb into their lap and expect them to read the book to me over and over again! (Mommy note — I am sick of IgglePiggle and Goodnight Moon (is that blasphemous)!
- I am starting to enjoy brushing my teeth every night after bath time.
- I HATE anything with green beans or spinach! I will spit it all back out and demand something else!
- I am getting the hang of the whole –”drinking from a glass thing at dinner time”
- I LOVE my new stroller and going for walks!

I am such a big girl now! I am wearing mostly 12-18 month sizes and outgrow shoes faster than anything else!
I am really into music these days — even if the music is only on my toys and I will start head-banging to make mommy proud! My current favorite songs include — Bohemian Rhapsody (both the Queen and the Muppet version); Twinkle Twinkle Little Star; the transition music on Fox News; the theme song to “Two and a Half Men” and the GoCompare Commerical.
Mommy wanted me to tell everyone she is sorry that she did not keep this updates for 5 MONTHS — but we have been super busy! Since my last post – i have taken the train to London a ton of times, gone on airplane to Atlanta, been christened at St. Thomas Aquinas, moved house, had my first christmas and a bunch of other big things..
So — I will make sure that this site is updated again soon!!!!
xoxo – Ella!
