We converted her crib to a toddler bed. Not like she even slept in her crib but she has taken a couple naps in the toddler bed and seems to like it. She likes that she can get in and out on her own. Ms. Independent.
She loves her nursery class at church and has only cried once for only a second when we dropped her off.

She loves putting on peoples shoes.
She wont throw her hands in the air at the part of the Patty Cake song that says 'throw it in the oven for Mommy and Me' cause she knows I will tickle her.
She loves to color. We bought her some of the markers that only write on special paper which has really helped with her coloring on herself and the walls.
Cirdan called me a couple months ago and I was on my way home from the gym. He was in a panic because he was in the garage working and Ella had woken up and went right to the garage door leading into the house and pushed the lock and locked him in the garage. It was a scary experience and we have since done a couple things to prevent that from happening.
She loves to take her clothes off and most days she just wears a diaper and onesie. Ella doesn't just try to take her clothes off at home. She tried undressing at my parents house the other day and we were at the church building the other night and she was trying to take off her pants. When I take her shopping she almost always takes off her shoes and socks when she is in the cart. Not sure how to keep them on her!
Ella just figured out how to put on her pants the other night and did it for the first time!
She loves to help me around the house. Her favorite thing to do is unload the dishwasher. I take out the knives right when I open it and then she unloads the rest of the silverware and spatulas (which go in a different drawer). If I open the dishwasher and she is around she will stop whatever she is doing to come help.
She loves to run. Always has.

She loves Elmo...and by love I mean she is obsessed with Elmo. If it was her way she would have Elmo on TV all day long. We brought out a bin with Kaiya's old toys and there was a couple Elmo dolls which she absolutely loves.
Ella also loves Cookie Monster. She lowers her voice and says in a gruff tone...cookie monster! When she first said it it sounded like...cookette. We bought her a big stuffed cookie monster and its another one of her favorites.

She loves to put things in the garbage--she says "gabage"
The thing that she does that I love the most is ask for hugs and kisses. A few times a day she will come up to Cirdan, Kaiya and me and say..."keess or hug (ug)". It melts my heart every time.
If you ask her a question her response is always NO.
She likes to pull Kaiya's hair but we are trying to teach her not to do that.
She is a horrible sleeper. If we put her to sleep before 9:00pm, nine out of ten times she will wake back up before 11:00pm and stay awake for a few hours. She has been going to sleep around 10:30 and will sleep until around 9:00. She still wakes up during the night a few times a week.
She loves to sing to the tune (or what she thinks is) of Spongebob and Elmo.
She points to the things on your or her body and names them. She knows and says...hands, ear, hair, tummy, eyes, cheek, chin, toes, feet, legs, arm, teeth, mouth and nose (as she puts her finger up it).
She still loves her binkie and blanket. She has to have them with her almost at all times. We really need to start weaning her off. Ella even likes to suck on Elmo's binkie.
She says...help me, I want to do it, I want to play
Her vocabulary has really flourished these last couple months and every day it seems like she is saying new words and even putting words together. Some of her new words are...
Cookie, coat, boots, cold, cool, socks, milk, hug, kiss, baby, santa, broken, pocket, back, garbage, gosh, Heidi, all clean, remote (mote), Ella, Marker, book, I want this, Kaylee, Grandpa, diaper, light, yes, rice, fries, monkey, Ava, flower, off, go away, bite, eat, push...and much more!
She is a little talker!
That's all that I can think of for now. She is quite the character with a funny little personality and we love her to pieces.

awww! i love this post. very sweet. you forget these moments IF you don't write them down. good for YOU! what a sweet girl. i wish we were closer so we could know her better.
She sure is a sweetie. Even with her adventurous little spirit, she just melts your heart. I have a feeling, our little Ireland, will be much the same.
ELla in all her shoe choices is so cute, very fun to read all that Ella is up to and adores, certainly a ton of adventure!
