Ella Turns 2!

Ella celebrated her 2nd birthday last Sunday. We can"t believe our little girl is two. She has grown up soo much and is an official toddler. This girl talks soo much and has so much personality. She understands what we say to her and follows directions if she pleases. She is fun and full of lots of energy. She can recite the majority of the alphabet and count to 10. Her favorite songs to sing are ABC's and Ring Around the Rosies and sings them all day long. When she is not singing, she talks and there are no longer quiet cars rides because she always has something to say. She loves to go, and her favorite things to do are sing, go to the park, color anything she can get a hold of, play with her cousins Maylan and Brandon, push her baby around in the stroller, and read books. she is soo much fun to be around except when she throws her fits. We took her to the doctor this week for her 2 year old check up and she 34 1/2 lbs (97 percentile) and 35 inches (80 percentile). She finally made it under the 100 percentile for her age since she has always been off the charts. We love her soo much and are so blessed to have a beautiful healthy girl. I was going to have a birthday party for her with all her friends but because of my circumstances of being on bed rest it had to be cancelled. I was crushed but Ella had no clue. All she seemed to care about was presents and she got plenty of them. We had my parents for over for dinner on Sunday and we had the family party on Monday. Ryan and Wendy came over with there kids. We had homemade tacos for dinner followed by an awesome caterpillar cake made by Wendy. It was soo cute. Ella's favorite part was opening presents especially since they were all for her. Thanks Mom and Wendy for doing the party. We loved it!
