Cups are fun!

While my parents were here, they gave Ella a cup to play with during her bath.  Now that I've been giving her baths again, I'm starting to pick up all the new habits she has decided to take on - some funny ones ;)  I'm glad my parents taught her how to entertain herself with a cup. 

Who needs bath toys when you can play with a cup!

Video:  Do I love dumping water on myself with a cup? Yes.

Too funny.

I've learned to. . .

Ella has blossomed these past few weeks with new things she has learned to do.  Her facial expression is pretty funny every time she figures something out and masters it.  Through trial and error (and cries out of frustration), she's getting more entertaining to watch!

At 17 months I've learned to. . .

Video:  Stomp my foot.

Video:  Stand on my chair to look outside the window.

Video:  Hold my book like a waiter.

Video: Throw china around out of defiance.

Video:  Use my brother as a table

Video:  Laugh and giggle with a friend.

Video:  Hold my friends hand.

Video:  Give hugs to my friends.

 

Video:  Share my toys with friends.

I love this kid.

I love corn!

Got corn?

Ella loves corn as much as her mama.  We can't even have corn out until she's finished with her meal otherwise her whole meal will consist of corn.  After we washed her hair, she made her first attempt at eating corn on the cob.  My big girl.

I like to steal my brother's bottle

Ella never took on to the bottle when she was a baby but she sure likes to steal baby William's bottle!  We just started introducing William the bottle and Ella enjoys to have the leftovers.  Seriously, every bottle attempt Ella ends up taking the bottle, runs to the other room and tries to finish off the breast milk.  Her first reaction to the breast milk was so funny - she gave me this, oh this taste familiar yet is different from the milk I'm getting now.

When I grow up. . .

When I grow up. . . . .I want to be a dog.  Yes, Ella loves her dogs so much that she wanted to join them in their cage.  Sigh, I guess that means I have to wipe down their cages more often or wipe down Ella every time we go down stairs.

My baby girl is a funny one.

Where's Ella?

When I was a kid I enjoyed the "Where's Waldo?" book series.  I dedicate this post to Waldo as Ella seems to enjoy hide and seek with the furniture.

Such a funny kid.

Pretend Play

I love having a girl!  I found Ella playing with her brush and her stuff dog in her room.  By the time I got the camera, she already stopped and I was so sad to not get the entire pretend play on video.  Sigh, gotta carrier the camera with me at all times!

I did however get a video clip of her pulling her caterpillar toy around.  She's getting really good with her hand-eye coordination.

Love love love my baby girl!
