21 months

Ella girl is 21 months old on the 16th, how can it be that my baby will be 2 so soon, I know I say that every month, but I'm telling you guys---where did the last year go??  One thing that Michael noticed when he got back is that her speech has become clearer in just a weeks time.  She will rarely, if ever, sit in her high chair (As I update this post, I moved the high chair to the attic a few days ago, she almost flipped it & I just couldn't take the risk) anymore, she insists on sitting in a big chair like her sister.  Mostly, I would describe her as a very pleasant/happy 21 month old, we have our nights where she's upset & doesn't sleep, but mostly a very good- natured little girl.  The only thing I can really figure out is that she's starting to teeth to get her 2 year molars & perhaps, that's why she is so upset some nights.  The allergy medication seems to keep her sneezing & eye rubbing mostly under control.  The lab results from her cat allergy test came back negative, so for now, Kitty Jenkins can stay with us...although, I just wish he would interact with the girls.  Ella continues to love her books at night before bed & loves to have you chase her.  She has really gotten very excited about our Friday mornings together...I think she really looks forward to the one on one time with me.  I can't say we ever do anything too exciting, but she does seem to beam with delight as I give her my full attention!  She's our girly girl & plays pretend in various tutus, dresses, & bows, etc.  Her favorite show is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse & of course, Minnie mouse is her favorite character.  She & her sister both love Cinderella & Ella calls her "Rella" when she sees her picture on anything.  She also loves music & can sing just about any kids song, which is adorable.  She has some stranger fear, but is mostly a friendly little thing.  That's about all I can think of for now.  She continues to eat well & just about anything.  One of her new favorites is Greek yougart--kind of weird for a kid, but she loves it.  Anyway, here are a few snapshots of her in a new outfit from her Gaga (Michael's mom).  Enjoy & have a great day!
