Welcome to Ella’s Site

Here are pictures from Ella’s July vacation to Gloucester. [click here]

Ella visited her family on Cape Cod [click here]

Ella found a piece of tape of the floor and peeled it off. Later she found herself in quite the sticky situation!

Ella found some tape on the floor from the dart game the night before - and she discovers how sticky it can be!

Here’s the second set of pictures from Ella’s birthday and her party. [click here]

For those who weren’t able to make it this weekend - we missed you! Here are some pictures from Ella’s birthday and her party. [click here]

This year went by too quickly! I am one year old and mommy still remembers this day last year like it was yesterday! But wow I have grown so much! I say so many words now: bear, duck, hello (usually combined with a hand to my ear as if I am talking on a phone), hi, bye, more, no, Bobo, bottle, book, peach, apple, ‘oli (that’s for ravioli), cheese, drink, juice, up, down, Oreo (the babysitter’s dog), I say three when my family counts - one… two… and I yell three! And of course the new family favorite “no duh” - which I picked up after hearing only once. I eat so much these days. I love real oatmeal with small apples cut in to it - no more of this baby stuff! I enjoy the toddler meals - especially the mac and cheese - my favorite! Green beans, carrots, peas and corn are also good. I just apparently didn’t like pureed veggies! I still love all my fruits - my current favorite is blueberries - I can’t get enough of those! My favorite toy right now is my bear. My next door neighbors gave him to me for Christmas and I really didn’t show an interest in him till a few weeks ago - now I drag him everywhere! My glow worm comes in a close second. I still only have 5 teeth and keep tricking mom in to thinking the 6th tooth has broken the skin! I do very well standing on my own, but am not ready to start walking. I am still VERY unsteady. I like to push toys (mainly a plastic stool) around and walk behind it. I am still a dancing machine and love music. Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Tomorrow is Ella’s 1st Birthday. I can’t believe how fast this year went by. This will also be the last weekly update of pictures - Although I will still update her website often… just not weekly!

Enjoy the pictures… Ella’s first ride in her big girl car seat and enjoying her very first cupcake for the 4th of July.  [click here]

We gave Ella a mini cup cake for the 4th of July… and afterwards she was unstoppable!
