HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA!!!

We cannot believe she is one! It has been such a great year! She is so happy all the time but she does have her moments! Here are a few things about Ella's first year!

• She has traveled over 30,000 miles in her first year (1600 of them by the time she was 1 week!)
• She has driven from Mississippi to Utah twice and been on an airplane once!
• She has been to 20 states!
• She isn't on the charts for weight she is to small! She never has been since two months!
• She thinks her dad is the best thing ever! She does like mom though if he isn't around!
• She has been saying mama and dada for a few months but her favorite word right now is HI!
• She loves books she will sit on the floor and look at them for almost an hour, legs crossed and everything!
• She has started waving and understanding why she is waving the last few weeks
• She has started folding her arms even though it never at the right time!
• Her nicknames include Ella Bella, Turkey, silly
• She loves her blanket and binky but is limited to them for nap time and bed time only (and church to make it not so bad!)
• She licks everything. It is kind of disgusting. We are trying to get her not to do it! She tries to lick my hands when I am washing her hair or when I am putting on her lotion, she is strange!

She is such a sweet girl and we love her so much! She is going to be such a great big sister! She just doesn't know what is about to hit her!
