Happy 1st Birthday Ella Grace



 
Our precious angel baby girl is ONE!!  Ella Grace brings so much JOY!!  Always with a happy smile this sweet and beautiful girl is the light of our lives.  She is adored and loved by all, including her protective big brother.  Hard to believe it has been one year since we were in Oklahoma awaiting her arrival...she was so worth the wait!!  She has made our family perfectly complete. 
We love you Ella Grace!!!
 
Ella Grace's one year stats:
Weight:  22 pounds 6 oz.
Height: 30.5 inches
Head circumference: 45.5 cm
So very thankful Ella Grace is a healthy baby girl!! I'll probably keep saying baby, even though she's technically a toddler now.  She's always going to be my baby!
 
Spoken words:
hi
uh-oh
abba - we don't know what she means but she says it consistently
mama - not sure she means mommy yet
all done
 
Signed words:
more
eat - sort of does this one
 
Ella yells very loudly when she is super excited.  If you didn't know she was excited by the look on her face you would think she was terrified.  This happens a lot when she wakes up and sees her brother, hears the bath water start running, goes outside and when she sees a dog.  Ella LOVES dogs.
 
Ella is a super traveler and shopper. My kind of girl ~ Raising her right! ;-)
 
Ella has not taken her first step yet, but is so close.  She will walk holding hands, but won't take off yet and I am just fine with that!
 
On the day of her birthday (Thursday) Michael was very sick with a severe asthma flare up.  Adam and I had been up with him for the last two nights.  So we had a dinner party at home on the day of Ella's birthday.  We had one of her favorite meals from Ellie's Greek Kitchen...she enjoys Ellie's gyro meat, rice pilaf and pita bread.  We topped that off with cupcakes from Rise Cupcakes and Ella knew just what to do!  This was practice for her smash cake at her Saturday birthday party.
