As the grandmas like to remind me, I'm not that good at keeping the pictures of Ella showing up in their inboxes. Between the gym, work, family time, and keeping the house sort of picked up, I am short several hours each day. I'm going to try and do more posts like this just to keep up with my rapidly growing baby girl.
I left her this morning sitting on the couch, gnawing on an apple, and watching Sesame Street. It was adorable and it pretty much broke my heart. How did she get this big?!
Her favorite toys: Regulation-size football, Winne-the-Pooh ball, anything that makes noise, anything that she's not supposed to have that has buttons (phones, remotes, wiimotes, the tv), any of her monkeys which she refers to as babies most of the time
Her regular rotation vocabularly: baby, bubbles, bye-bye, daddy, cracker, shoes, mine, ball, book, quack-quack (which sounds more like "caw caw")
Her favorite words to hear: 1) "bye-bye" if she's going with you - she loves to get out and about. If you say it, put on her jacket and then dally too long, a major hissy ensues. 2) "bubbles" if it's time for bath. She LOVES bath time!
She loves to throw her ball around, all the while saying "ah...ah...choo" and then throwing it down. She adores her cat and her dog and anyone else's cat and dog. She clings to me every chance she gets which is lovely and frustrating, all at once. She is capitvated by music, loves to climb and bounce on the furniture, and loves tickle/cuddle time so long as no one involved is sitting still.
Brushing her teeth (all 12) is an ordeal. Utensils are still optional, and we're almost at the biggest of the sippy cups before an open cup. She knows crazy amounts - way more than she says - and she loves nothing more than letting out an ear piercing shriek when she doesn't get her way.
Life without her would be so boring.
