Ella's growin'

So, our catch-up wouldn't be complete without a little bit about Ella. She is so much fun - though sometimes a handful. She is definitely a little gal who knows what she wants! But, she is talking more all the time, using sentences, repeating what we say and delighting audiences everywhere. She has charmed the ladies in the office at Centennial High and is our little PR girl. She has begun singing constantly as well, to herself, to her babies and stuffed animals, in the car with what we are listening too, etc. It is so cute! (but I am not biased, I'm sure). We especially love her renditions of "Peggie Tales" (that's veggie tales to those of you who aren't bilingual), "Tinkle 'ittle 'tar", and The wiggles 'teddy bear picnic' complete with motions. We videotaped some recently and are thrilled to have it for posterity when she is famous.

She is also truly a "rennaisance girl" in that she not only loves music and is very nurturing to her babies and stuffed animals, but loves to read books and play with her truck. That's our well-rounded girl. The pictures shown here are Ella helping Oma with the gardening and enjoying a gigantic slip-and-slide with cousins at the ranch. She has also discovered the trampoline and the wonderful world of jumping. Life will never be the same.
