Ella's One Year Check-Up!

Ella had her one year check-up today. I know I'm a little late, but I wanted to wait until I was off for the summer.

Her percentiles: Head:50%, Weight 10%, Height 75%

She is still growing on the same scale and the same rate. She now weighs 18 lbs. 6 oz. I was thinking she was around 19 or 20 lbs. and thinking that I would be able to turn her car seat around, but nope. I have a tiny little girl!

Her new things include walking all over the place, loving Little Einsteins, saying: mama, dada, hi, byebye and pepper, and sleeping great. She's been sleeping from about 8-8 and taking a 3 hour nap in the afternoon. I know I'm super blessed. She is also eating a lot of table food. She likes our food (last night was chicken parmesan) better than her baby food. What can I say, I'm a good cook!

I am really enjoying being home with her. We play all morning and in the afternoons she naps. It's such a joy being able to watch her grow up.

Ella is Walking! (in her brace)

This is Ella walking at one year and one day!!!!

Ella is a YEAR old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My little girl is 1!!! What a great and fun birthday party! She had a lot of friends there and all of her family came. Below are some pictures of all of the fun!

This is her cake that she completely demolished! She loved it. She ate it for about 15 minutes. I didn't want her to get a stomach ache!

Our happy family. Everyday Ella gets more fun and lovable!

Lauren got her a bean bag! She loves it.

Daddy put her on the slide. She liked it.

In the little tykes car. She had such a great day :)

A little fun with her dress and mother nature!

Oh my, where has the time gone? I can remember like it was yesterday that Ella was about to arrive! One vivid memory of the night before I was supposed to go to the hospital to be induced (Saturday night, the 6th), I went to cold stone and loaded up on some ice cream anxiously waiting for the next day to come. It's amazing how much about her has changed in the last year. She started out sleeping most of the time and now she is all over the place. I never imagined that being a mom would be so rewarding. Everyday I thank God for her. She's my little blessing.
