It is hard to believe that Ella is a year old. The last year really has gone by like a whirlwind. Between having Ella, Craig finishing up his final year, selling the condo and then moving to Grand Rapids, her first year was filled with excitement. I have to say that I was actually sad to see her turn one. She is such a little sweetie pie and I just hate to see her grow up. We celebrated her actual birthday with GG and Papa (my parents) with some pizza and cupcakes that Allison, Connor and I made. Then we had a party for her on the 26th with all of her cousins, her grandparents, great grandparents and a few close friends. There were a ton of kids, but it was a lot of fun. She is loving her new Bitty Baby, Elmo, and Peek-a-Boo book. The knitted outfit that grandma Alguire made is priceless.
Here are a few things she can do as a one year old.
1. She can climb up the stairs in record time, so we now have a gate up!
2. She takes 4-5 steps consistently and has taken as many as 10.
3. She talks up a storm. A few of her words: Mama, Dada, blanket, hi, NaNa (Connor), ganma (grandma), GG, Papa, puppy, Elmo, baby. She tries a ton of words and many times just says random things.
4. She loves to copy Connor and scream back and forth with him.
5. She loves to hug and kiss.
6. She loves her pink swankie blankie, she calls blanket.
7. She has three teeth and her top two are coming through as we speak.
8. She loves to play in her kitchen with the play food.
She is 21 lbs (70%ile), 29 1/4 inches (75%ile)
What a joy she has been. I feel so lucky to have such a sweet and fun little girl. We are so happy to have her in our family.
