Ellabella bug!

My little Ellabella bug is going to be two next month. I can't believe she is not a baby anymore, and such a little girly-girl. She makes us laugh everyday, and surprises us with all the things she says. Ella is getting smarter and smarter everyday, she is going to pass up Zach and me in no time. She also is hitting her terrible twos, let's hope she is at the worst she is going to get. She has learned how to talk back and goes to time out at least a couple times a day. She is still really good, just has her moments. If you do something Ella doesn't want you to do she will tell you to quit it, or tells you to listen. She gets a mean voice, and says it. She will also tell us No way if we tell her she has to go in timeout. What can we say she is independent and a little sassy, but what toddler isn't. Now let's focus on the positive, here is new things Ella does:

- Sings her ABCs including the end, "now I know my ABCs next time won't you sing with me."

- Counts all the way up to 13 by herself.

- Copies everything you say.

- Speaks in full sentences and can put sentences together herself. (She shocks us with stuff she says sometimes.)

- Loves to dance. She would dance all day if she could.

- Somersaults. She figured it out and now does them all the time. So funny!

- She is starting to want to dress herself, and pick out her own outfits. Last night she wore a tu-tu and t-shirt to bed. Today she wore her dress up shoes with one of her purses to church.

- She knows some spanish words thanks to Dora. She loves to say Adios!

- Loves to say,"look" and show you everything.

- She knows her colors and loves to point at everything and tell us the color. So smart.

- Loves firetrucks, Dora, and Cinderella. She made up a song about her birthday and firetrucks. She also told me last night she wants a Dora, firetrucks, Cinderella party. I never thought I would be buying a firetruck for my little girl, but she loves them.


I can't believe how fast they change, and grow up. Everyday is a new thing and new adventure with her. I love you Ellabella! You are the best!
