Life with Ella

My vocabulary has grown significantly, my mommy and daddy have been the recipient of many funny comments and conversations.  Here are some examples of things I have said and done recently.

Mommy and I were on a walk to go see the neighbors' animals (they have goats, horses, pigs, etc.)  On our way home Mommy said, "Ella, there is a bunny way over there!"  I nonchalantly replied, "Good eye, Mom!" and kept walking.  

Shortly after seeing the bunny we both see a helicopter and the moon.  Then I ask Mommy, "Is the helicopter going to hit the moon?"  Mommy was in shock!!!  She couldn't believe I had put that together.  Mommy says that I continue to amaze her!  

Mommy and Daddy say that I have been doing a great job with using the "big-girl toilet"  but when ever I try and am unable to go I say in my serious voice, "doesn't work" and climb off the toilet.  It makes Mommy and Daddy laugh every time.

I have a super sweet side as well.  We were sitting around the counter eating breakfast.  Mommy glanced around to see where her water was to take her vitamin, without hearing a word, I noticed she didn't see it.  I thought it would be nice to give Mommy my water, "Mommy, you may have a drink of Ella's water."  My parents were amazed at my ability to pick up on their body language.

I am starting to give back to my parents.  They have changed many many diapers for me so I thought I could return the favor...Mommy and Daddy were standing in the kitchen while I was sitting on a stool next to Mommy.  Mommy's hands were full.  I decided it was the perfect time to help Mommy.  I waded up a napkin, pulled Mommy's sweats away from her body, and began to wipe her bottom, shouting proudly, "Mommy, I am gonna clean your booty!"  I was really happy;  Mommy and Daddy were speechless.

Yesterday, Mommy and I went to pick Daddy up at the office.  Daddy was looking kind of sharp and I thought he should know.  When he opened the door I said, "You're hot!"  That got a couple of laughs.

Mommy tells me all the time that she cherishes the fact that she gets to be at home with me and is a part of these precious moments.  Thanks Daddy!  You are truly an incredible father, husband, and provider.
