I know I am late posting about her birthday, but we finally slowed down. We had so much fun for Ella's 1st Birthday. I can't believe she is already 1! She grew up too fast. On her birthday, September 11th we took her to Build-A-Bear and let her pick out her very own bear. We held up four different bears, and she of course chose the pink and white one. She is so girly I love it. Then we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Then on Friday we had a big birthday party for her. Zach's family came up and then my whole family was there. It was so much fun. She loved eating the cake and getting all messy. She even had to put some frosting in Mommy's hair just to make sure I was getting messy too. She got lots and lots of presents from everyone. She got more then she did for Christmas. We took her to her 12 month appointment and she weighs 19 lbs. and 29.5 inches long. She is still in the 30% for her weight and average for height. The doctor was so impressed that she could say a lot of words, she now says mama, dada, grandpa, dora, hello, no, uh-oh, baba, and she tries to say a lot more. She is also walking a lot more. It's so fun when she holds onto my finger and wants to walk around. Then on Saturday we went up to Snowbird with Zach's mom, dad, and sisters. We went up on the tram and looked out over the city. We also went on the zipline and alpine slide. It was so much fun spending time with them and doing lots of fun stuff. We miss having them around and wish we could see them a lot more. Then after the long weekend of fun and everything Ella and I both got colds. I think we wore ourselves out with all of the party planning and everything. But her birthday was a success and lots of fun! Thanks everyone for coming and for all of the great presents! We love you!
