Three months later and Ella's hair continues to amaze us - thick, long and full. I can't believe how much she has grown these past three months - walking like an expert, starting to run, more baby signs, and wants to feed herself more.
Much love and appreciation to Mary Wang for taking Ella's 15 month portrait on July 21, 2012. We had a blast trying to get her to laugh and smile for the camera.
Sample 15 Month Portrait:
We got three awesome video clips of Ella laughing and smiling (yes, she's smiling).
Mary came over for a visit yesterday and we had a great time on our walk, lunch, and a little play time. I'm always surprise to who and when Ella is friendly to. She greeted Mary with a smile, let her walk her around, let her carry her most of the walk to lunch and played nice for most of her visit. Way to go Ella! I love it when she's in a good mood with friends.
As Ella showed Mary her book collection, we came across the Hello Kitty Colors book I purchased from Costco. I forgot how cool this book. Growing up, having any Hello Kitty product was special and I realize I don't have any Hello Kitty products for Ella except this book and tea set. Next stop, Sanrio to get Ella her first Hello Kitty doll. ;)

For some strange reason, Ella was in a lovable mood this past week. I could not believe how sweet she was. It was as if she was over her stranger anxiety/shy self and her true social butterfly self was born. But it was short lived and she's back to herself now. . .
On Monday, she gave her daddy lots of love while he carried her on his shoulder.

On Thursday, she danced and giggled with Sheryl to music at home.

On Friday, she gave Mary hugs (for the first time) and kisses while having brunch at Crepevine with Kimi.
