To bring you a different update!

Ella is now 15 months! I missed her 14 month update, because we were out of town. This girl is crazy. She just woke up from her nap when these pictures were taken today. Ella is a very demanding girl. She is also emotional. She can fall and get hurt, cry for just a minute, and then be fine. But, if you tell her “No,” it’s a total meltdown. She still just has the 4 top and bottom teeth, but no longer has the long comb over hair. She got a haircut while in Vegas. If you ask Ella if she wants a bath, she will run to the bathroom, and start pulling on her clothes. She has even managed to hand me her diaper a few times. That’s a little unnerving. She loves to torment Jameson. Today, she threw my cell phone at his face. He started crying, and then she started crying. Why was she crying when she was the one that threw the phone? Because, she’s emotional. Just what I was looking forward to. She loves to hold anything to her ear and pretend it’s a phone. Her milestones are:

• Ella says “uh-oh” now (we’re a little slow on the talking part)
• She also says “Hi Diddy”
• Everything is “Mama.” Sometimes it drives me crazy.
• She burps louder than Jameson
• Ella gives high-fives
• She waves bye
• Tantrums are becoming more frequent. Actual on the floor kicking.
• She still eats certain kinds of baby foods, but is becoming picky.
• She loves sweets like her mom.
• She can’t eat a Popsicle, because she holds the actual Popsicle.
• She loves to ride her tractor, and her car
• Ella is starting to be more steady when she’s running.
• She has become very attached to her blankets.

Funny story. Monday, we were bar-b-quing with friends and Ella, being the smart child she is, put a blanket over her head and started walking. Yah, I know, smart. Well, she takes off, and walked right into the sliding glass door. Do you know how funny a little person with a blanket over her who smacks into a window is? Pretty sure she made all of us laugh. She really is a fun little girl. She loves her Daddy, and cuddles with her mom. She teases her brother, but he still protects her. It’s really cute.
