Ella's 1st Birthday!

 Someone pinch me...I can't believe my tiny baby is 1 already. 


 This sweet baby girl had an amazing 1st birthday.  She got to eat cupcakes and pizza for the first time and loved them both!

 We had a party at My Gym to celebrate her first year.  She had a great time exploring the gym and playing with all of her friends.




 Ella LOVES Bubble Guppies and was very excited to have them as part of her birthday.



Ella has been the best addition to our family and I don't think I could even say in words how grateful I am for her.  Since the day she was born we have all been head over heels in love with this brown-eyed beauty!  She is the sweet, snuggly, loveable baby that I dreamed she would be....she is wonderful!  Ella weighs 18 pounds and is 28 inches tall.  She has 8 teeth.  She has taken a few steps on her own, but prefers to be carried.  She has never even been a great crawler.  She is slow, and drags one leg and would much rather someone carry her around.  She points at what she wants.  She can sign more and all done.  She is very sweet and gives out lots of hugs and kisses.  She will eat almost anything we feed her, but still eats mostly baby food.  Recently I gave her a fork and she seems to be pro already.  She will happily go to almost anyone, but of course prefers her mom!  She has some really cute nick-names.  My boys both love her SO much.  Everett thinks she is amazing and says that the day she was born was his best day ever!  The two of them have a really special bond.  I can't say enough about this sweet baby.  She is really amazing!  Happy birthday Ella.
