20 Months Old Today!

It's hard to believe that this little peanut turned twenty months old today!  She is so little compared to Logan and Lia at this age that I still feel like she is my baby!  We all just think that Ella is the cutest thing on the planet.  Her personality has really started to come out these past few months and she really is starting to make us laugh.  Ella loves to dance whenever she hears music and runs from place to place in the house most of the time.  When she is really excited, she will run while screaming, "Weeeeeeh!"  Ella is still really active and gets into anything--mainly with the help of my white, desk chair that is in the kitchen.  She will drag that thing everywhere and then hop up on it when she has reached her desired destination.  I told Ron that we need to sing the Jaws theme song every time she grabs it.  A cute thing that Ella started doing this month is insisting on grabbing only one finger when we hold her hand to walk places.  She refuses to hold anyone's hand the "normal" way.  She also started saying, "choo choo," for train, but will only say it with her mouth closed.  I have no idea why she does this, but it is so funny.  Whenever Ella hears the train whistle blow in the distance, she will say it.  So cute!  Ella has continued on her journey of wonderful-eater-gone-bad.  She is still extremely picky and refuses to eat a lot of items at dinner time.  So sad.  She still sleeps great at night and takes an afternoon nap every day for 2 to 3 hours.  Ella LOVES her ya ya (pacifier) and asks for it ALL day long!  Although we constantly tell her that it is only for night night time, she will sneak upstairs and fish one out of her crib a few times a day.  She's a sneaky one that Ella.  She also loves her blanket and learned how to say that word this past month.  She loves cuddling her blanket and any soft, stuffed animal.  Ella adores her older sister and asks for "Weeee-uh" all day long after we drop Lia off at school.  Ella loves any attention from her parents or Lia and will giggle, giggle, giggle if one of us engages in any sort of game with her.  Ella loves her story time before nap and bedtime and really loves to be snuggled and rocked in her big chair before going to bed.  We just love this baby girl and can't believe that her second birthday is around the corner!
