What would we do without Ella Ann???

We were getting Ella ready for bed and she had to
have her shoes on! She also wanted to wear her
shirt and pants. Let's just say you pick and choose
your battles sometimes!

Ella being so cute!

She loves saying Cheese for the camera!

Ella wanted to wear her summer clothes,

but she was mad because it was raining outside so we wouldn't let her go out.

Ella the makeup artist! Isn't she so good at doing her own makeup?


It is official... Ella has hit the "fun" stage. The last couple of weeks Ella's new favorite word is NO! She is still are sweet little girl, but when she wants something she will let you know. She is getting to be very independent. We had our first episode in a store a couple of days ago. I was by myself and she found a Dora garbage can. I went to take it to put it back, and she threw it across the store. Then started screaming as loud as she could, and arched her back. We left the store because I didn't have a binky so I couldn't get her to calm down. We were going to try to do the binky only for nap time and bed time, but after a few tantrums we have experienced I am not ready yet. Don't worry she doesn't have it often just when we are in public and she is kicking, screaming, and arching her back. One mom just walked by me laughing, she said her little girl was the same age and acted the same way. She still makes us laugh everyday, and is still quite the show off! Zach and I would be very bored if we didn't have Ella Ann to keep us on our toes!
