So Formal.

Dear Ella,

We were invited for dinner with Aunt Susan and Uncle Dave tonight. As usual, you hammed it up as the star attraction in the "I'm Ella" show. Uncle Dave taught you how to shake hands. Now you won't even let him give you a high five...he's the hand shake man. You literally open his hand and close it around yours to let him know that anything less is unacceptable. I wish we had the camera on us.

I also attempted to sit down for about five minutes and write down as many words as I could think of that you say/sign. There are now only 3-5 signs that you do not attempt to say....Here's what we've got at 14.5 months.

Verbal: drink, smoothe, more, milk, bird, giraffe, bug, tiger, pig, chicken, goat, hot, cold, water, ouch, hurt, all done,  please, thank you, love you, hi, bye, monkey, chair, outside , nighnight, grapes, banana, cookie, cracker, juice, water, pizza, apple, watermellon, pineapple, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, teeth, shirt, belly, toes, feet, shoes, socks, glasses, book, mommy, mama, dada, daddy, dog, mahlah, puppy, cat, fish, color, pink, red, baby, girl, grandma, grandpa, Ashley, Beth, Ben, Issy, Alice, Hudson, flower, rock, play, ice cream, cracker, frog, horse, cow, sheep, swing, blue, no, mine, Ella, duck, turtle, boat, eat, poop, potty, hat, shirt...

...I think that's around 90 words! There are so many that I'm forgetting too. The fun part is that you add new words daily because you are repeating most of what we ask you to. Well done little lady.

Other things... you love putting peg like things into holes, and straws into the top of lids.You have been waking at 5:30 am....ICK! You love to draw. You had cookie dough for the first time. Daddy is your new obsession. Love this.


Look at my picture, mom!
