18 months

From this...

...to this


Our sweet Ella girl is 18 months old! It's hard to believe how quickly time flies.

At 18 months, Ella...
*eats very well with utensils and still has a healthy appetite. (See chocolate donut picture above!)
*sleeps 12 hours at night and takes one mid-afternoon nap for about 2 hours.
*always sleeps with a paci and her blankie.
*says some words besides family members' names: Amen, backpack, foul ball, car, shoe.
*is cutting three molars at once, which makes her nose drip like a faucet!
*loves to play with Nolan.
*is becoming quite vocal and independent.
*will squeeze my neck with the most wonderful hug when she wants to cuddle.
*makes some of the silliest faces!
*loves wearing bracelets and necklaces.
*has a smile that will melt your heart!

Ella, our lady bug, you are such a delight! You put joy in our hearts that's indescribable. We love you so much! Mommy and Daddy

She looks so huggable! What a cutie pie deluxe... BTW, "In My Arms" has got to be one of my favorite songs. It makes me cry...But these days, just about everything brings tears!
