Ella is ONE!

Ella turned 1 yrs old on the 27th of Feb. I can't believe a year as already passed by us. It was a WONDERFUL year and nothing I ever expected it would be. Children are an absolute blessing from God and we are so blessed to have Ella in our lives. She is such a happy little girl and as parents that makes us VERY happy too. Ella is officially walking now. She will still crawl but I would say she walks 80% of the time and crawls when she is feeling lazy ha! She is talking more and more everyday. Its more Ella lingo but we are trying to learn what she is saying. We took her to the Dr last week and her visit went very well. We are now on whole milk and LOVING it!! Eric says we got a raise!! I am so glad I breast fed for 8 mths b/c formula is expensive. She is now weighing in at a BIG 19.8 (25th percentile) and 30 inches long (75th percentile). Looks like we might have a model on our hands long and trim!! We go back when she is 15 months.......... We are also looking into Mother's morning out programs for her next year. We found one we really like so pray I can get in her. It will be two days a week from 9am-2:30pm. We feel this will be GREAT for her as well as MOMMY!! I am still working from home and its going GREAT but she is at the age now where she requires more attention and we feel this will be perfect for her. I will know March 3oth if she is in for the next school yr. I will keep you posted. All in all Ella is doing wonderful. We have so much fun with her and she just continues to amaze us. Her are a few pics from her bday party. Her bday was a HIT!! She did so well and LOVED her cake. I guess she gets her sweet tooth from me! Thank you for everyone that made the trip we know its always hard from people to travel especially with children. Ella is so blessed to have wonderful people in her life. We love you all and hope all is well.
