Before I Forget

I use this blog to document (obviously) Ella's life. I've been going through my blogs and transferring the info into her scrap book so this entry is more for my benefit than yours so don't feel you have to read it. Of course, if you want to read and leave a comment about how amazingly smart my child is, feel free.
Words Ella Says and understands what they mean:
eye, nose, mouth, teeth, cracker, more (also signs and calls milk more), please(also signs), no, yeah/yes, dad, baby, bobby, bottle, tickle, boo, juice, woof (what she calls dogs) oo oo ee (what she calls monkeys) moo (what she calls cows)
Our favorite things:
Dances to just about anything, indcluding my horrible singing. She will also sing with me if she's not busy twirling. If she can reach it, she brings me the tupperware our cookies are kept in and will then proceed to say "pease, pease, pease" til she gets a cookie. If shes in trouble she squinches her eyes closed to hide. Also, in playing she'll close her eyes to hide from you. She loves hiding behind door, chairs, under the kitchen table and recently she figured out under the bed works great as well. She plays the piano with me but also likes to listen to just me playing. Or plays on her own. She loves looking at new books and will occupy herself for a surprising amount of time with them. (Unless we try to read to her. That means bed time so she doesnt' like us interfering) She likes to color on anything other than paper i.e. my kitchen table, andrews laptop, gramma and grampas bathroom door. Loves putting things in the garbage and putting her toys away. She also loves taking her toys out so it doesn't last long. She loves forts and hiding in them. She loves getting tickled and tickling. She loves moving i.e. getting thrown in the air/in the love sack, getting spun, jumping, running etc. (We assume she will love roller coasters) Playing peak-a-boo when shes supposed to be settling down for bed. Showing me where my eyes, nose, mouth, tounge, teeth, ears, hair etc. are.
Favorite Foods:
