I should have done this post a couple of months ago, at 18 months. But now is better than never. Ella is so much fun right now. She really always has been. She's such a sweet little girl, although lately she is getting a little sassier. Here are some things she can do/likes to do at 20 months.
 |
| This is a classic Ella face. |
- Her favorite song to sing is Hello, Hello. She has come to Primary with Steve or I since she was 6 weeks old, so it makes sense that she loves the Primary songs.
- She loves food. Some of her favorite things to eat are blueberries, some of Dad's shake in the morning, mac'n cheese, squash.
- She can say lots of words and is putting 2 and 3 word sentences together like "more Dad". She always calls her brother "Jack Jack". Some of her favorite words are OK, see-ya, bite (when she wants a bite of your food), help, and of course "me" (she raises her hand when she says it).
- She's a great sleeper and literally always sleeps through the night. She also loves her afternoon nap and sleeps 2-3 hours.
- She is not interested in TV at all. We've tried a bunch of different shows, but she's just not into them.
- She is such a girl! She always notices when she's wearing something new. She takes really good care of her dolls, loves to wear pretty things, and carry purses.
- She loves to go pee in the potty before she takes a bath at night.
- She is obsessed with her binkie and blankie. I'm super scared to get rid of her binkie!!!
- She is a brave girl. She will go down tall slides, ride the 4-wheeler, pet horses, but she hates being pushed in the baby swing.
- She knows the color blue and purple. I know this is from choosing what color otter pop she's wanted all summer.
- She is scared of the garbage truck. She has to come and hug me when it goes by even though we are inside the house.
- She loves to count and counts to six, but only 3 of the numbers sound like they should. She has a certain way she talks when she's counting and she always does it the same.
- She loves animals, especially our dog "Tuck" and horses (she says it horsh.)
- She loves to color, paint, play with playdough.
- Her brother is her favorite person in the world. She follows him everywhere, and although they taunt each other to no end at times, they are best friends and really look out for each other.
- She climbs, hides, runs, and is into everything. The other day I lost her in The Children's Place, then later that day at our house she ran out into the road and a truck had to stop for her. She definitely has a mind of her own.

| Playing in the pantry. It's her new favorite pastime. |

| I don't think the cocoa powder tasted as good as it smelled. |
