Ella Is Very Smart : )

Pushing things around on a stool is one of her new favorite things to do.

She runs over to the fridge whenever she hears the door open.

She found the wine!!!



Life at home is wonderful!!! I had my interview with unemployment this week, so hopefully I'll be getting a check soon! I guess since I'm in school I have to assure them that I am able to work a full-time job.... Weird since I've never even worked full-time in my life! Whatever it takes to get a check though.

Ella is starting to understand what I'm asking or telling her these days. I ask her if she wants to take a bath and she will run to the bathroom. The other night I asked her if she wanted to go to bed because she was being fussy, and she ran to her room. I tucked her in and she went right to sleep! I was shocked! When she sees a diaper she lays down on the ground ready to be changed. And when she needs her shoes or socks on she sits on the ground with one foot in the air. I guess I just thought she couldn't understand since she can't talk yet, but she is proving me wrong! I can't wait until she really starts talking.

I think that she is having a growth spurt because she is sleeping lots and eating us out of house and home!! Spending time with Ella has been the greatest gift I've ever received. What a blessing. So much stress has been lifted off my shoulders. For now anyway...
