17 months old

17 months old has been a big change for Ms. Ella.  She's running everywhere after her sister & growing like a little weed.  She actually runs so hard these days that she's red in the face a good amount of the time.  Hair as wild as can be & growing longer by the day :)  She loves to be chased & tickled & thinks it's funny when she catches sissy in her arms for a hug or headlock.  She has quite a sense of humor & will do a "flip" if you ask her...it's really more of a sideways roll, but still very cute :)  Ms. is adding to her vocabulary almost daily.  She knows 4 colors & consistently can identify, blue (still her favorite to say), red, green, & purple (her favorite color to wear).  Loves her little Mimi monkey...see below in her pics.  Runs wild almost everyday & is kind of clumsy.  Actually just ran into a wooden cabinet last night (thankfully) I'd already taken these & as now she has a goose egg on her head between her eyes.  Oh those eyes, still grey, maybe looking slightly bluer or greener depending on the day.  She's wearing 18 mo, 24 mo, & some 2T clothing just depending on how much the clothing has shrunk in the washer or the style of the outfit.  Very interested in the potty.  And actually tries to go when I go...hey, I guess it can't hurt.  She's napping better these days & this mama is very thankful.  We've continued to have some nights with her up with teething, but it seems like that has eased up a bit.  Let's hope she will be sleeping through the night again soon.  She could read for 6 hrs straight if we had the time/patience for it.  Loves to see airplanes in the sky & loves to point out deer in the yard.  Such a fun, yet busy age.  Love her so very much!  Have a wonderful day :)

Such a cute little coat, couldn't resist it :)

She was staring at an airplane flying overhead...she's obsessed with them

Airplane...so exciting

Ain't she cute :)

Pretty girl

Oh baby girl...those grey eyes!  Why would you make that face when you look so cute??

Loving on Mimi
