My Baby is now a Tod!

Ella Kate turned 2 last Friday, and I am still holding back the tears... well, a few actually fell, but I am dealing! No offense to my other, very spunky offspring (Jack, I have no doubts that you WILL make an impact on this world!), but she has been a dream baby. We celebrated at Chick Fil A of course, and later opened family gifts at home.
5 weeks old (We breed hair!)

1 year old


Happy 2nd Birthday!

The "new bi"

Some of the latest Ella-isms:
  • Many words start with an H... Ha-hun (Jackson), hoo (shoe), hide (outside), highs (fries)... you get the point!

  • Obsessed with accessories: shoes especially, jewelry, makeup, hats, etc.

  • Loves to dump containers or purses of things out on the floor, just to put them back in one by one, over and over again.

  • We think she may be a mermaid... her love of water is nerve-racking for the parentals.

  • All hair accessories are called a "bow".

  • She loves to sit on the potty, never produce a drop of anything, and then wipe herself, and flush.

  • Loves to play trucks, read and rock, dance, run, swim, scream, ride bikes, color, sing, close doors, jump, swing, and waller on the floor.

  • Has extreme Stranger Danger... especially to men... and we hope she keeps this up.

  • Everytime she sees a star shape, she points and says "up a high"... you know, like the song?!?
Squeeze hugs and nose kisses baby girl!

Like I always say, you can comfort her as a teenager, when she "hates" her mom! And feel free to take her shopping when her tastes become really expensive!
