18 Months!!!

Our Ella Bella turned 18 months old today! I cannot believe it! She is still my baby! She makes our lives so happy, challenging, and fun! She is so full of personality but tends to be shy around others. She is so small and petite. I took her to the doctors this morning where she weighed in at a whoppin 20 lbs 10 oz! She was a little over 32 inches tall and her head was 17 1/2 inches. I am pretty sure Eastons head is that big as well! She learns so much each and every day and it is so fun to see her learn new things and discover things.

*She has learned this last week to climb on the couch, we can no longer put things out of her reach!

*She has started to have a love for Elmo and has learned to say his name.

* She always is handing us the remote and saying "T" for us to turn it on.

*Another favorite of mine that she says is "cute." I guess she has heard me say it a few times. It is now to the point if I pick clothes up in a store she instantly says it is cute.

*We have a book that has pop ups and it says things like "who says hiss is it a cheetah, no baby elephant it is a snake" and it pops up a tab with a snake on it. I heard her in her room the other day and went and peeked and she had this book and was turning the pages saying the animal sounds followed by a no and her shaking her head. She has that book down!

*She loves her dad! If we have him with us at a store she will not let me push or touch the cart Andrew has too! Every morning when I get her up she says dad, she looks sad when I tell her he is at school.

*She loves to give kisses. She can't give just one person a kiss it has to be everyone that is around. She really wanted to give the people behind us at church on Sunday a kiss!

*She has mastered the art of running and running away!

*She is deathly terrified of water. She eventually warms up but it wastes a lot of time. She loves her bathtime and splashing in the water, I don't get it!

We love her so much and can't believe how time is flying by!


She now officially owns her first pair of Jelly shoes!

A rock is much more important then smiling for the camera!


She never will look up!

And it has begun, she had a meltdown mid-picture taking. She actually scratched her head on the driveway!



It was quickly cured by spinning around and getting dizzy!





She loves our little Book of Mormon that we read from every night. She knows right where we keep it. I bribed her with it so I could get a few pictures even though I still didn't get what I wanted! She will sit while we read we usually can get in about 5 verses and then she is done. She loves to kneel and fold her arms for family prayer!





She ran into a door frame at the church the other night and ended up with a little goose egg which is now a lovely bruise on her forehead! It is on the right, kind of hard to see!

I am bummed this ended up with a shadow on it, it was so cute of her!



She loves her baby and the remote!

She loves to store the remote on the stroller!





Once again wouldn't smile! Could it be the shots she got today!
