Our big girl

Ella has changed so much recently. She just started walking and toddles all over our condo. It's the cutest thing. Really....I could watch it all day long. She also wants to be doing whatever I'm (Amy) doing during the day. She wants to "fold" clothes with me, sweep the floor, wipe her hands, empty the dishwasher, cook, stir, vacuum (as you see below), etc. Of course, these helping behaviors really just create more work for us. :) She has opinions on everything, says yes and no, can communicate most anything she wants to. She is an incredibly sweet and cuddly girl, but has a strong will and can throw a seriously major tantrum. We love her for exactly who she was created to be.

She also loves going for bike rides!


She is eating a lot more these days, and if you even say the word "Ketchup"....she smiles....


Oh, cute girl.....this makes me just want to kiss her cheeks forever....



And here is a sweet picture of David with Ella and Charlie. Ella wore pigtails for the first time that day ("Ella's Ponies"), which she LOVED. I love the faces on all three of them here.... :)

  1. Wow, Amy. What a wonderful time in Ella's growth. You are doing very important work with her. All of your time and affirmation with her will make her a very solid, grounded individual. She is a lucky girl to have a mom like you!
