My Sweet Ella

 Oh Ella has you have ALWAYS kept us on our toes and made us laugh. With how much energy you have, it is no wonder you have always been a great sleeper! This little lady is full of imagination love for life.

 If there is one thing that Ella loves, it is her brother. Seeing the two of them play together but at such different ages is very amazing to me. But she loves her "Taterbug". You can tell she is his little "mommy" by how she mothers him to DEATH sometimes. In the picture above she is making Tate hold her hand while they go on a stroller ride.

 Oh Ella....You live and BREATH for the social scene. When you came into the world you were so mesmorized by all the people who wanted to hold you and love you. Now you are so social and you love having  friends where ever you go. On this specific day, mommy and Tate were playing with you at the park but that wasn't enough. You went and found a group of boys who were playing and you got down on your knees and began to pretend you were a tiger. The boys played right along and began running around and you started chasing them! You had never met them before and they were at least 6 years older than you. They were kind enough to play with you and let you chase them around as a pretend tiger. I watched in awe as you took your love for life and social interaction and put it to work!

 Again...here you are playing with friends. There aren't many little girls in the neighborhood, so the few you have found are priceless!

 Because Ella plays so hard... she also crashes hard! Even if it's in the cart at the grocery store on the steering wheel.

 The car is the other place you have always fallen asleep. I think because you are strapped in, your body takes the opportunity to recharge itself!

Ella is 4 1/2 years old! She loves the color pink, mauling her baby brother, playing with ANYONE of any age! She loves to play soccer, pretend and play "princess rainbow flying horsey," play with her toy horses, swim till her hair is GREEN (literally), and play on daddy's Ipad. Ella loves pizza, cheese, frozen yogurt with candy, gum and juice. She can spell her name, knows her numbers 1-10 and her ABC's. Ella is a big helper for mommy, she makes her own bed and cleans her room. She loves going to "the hotel" and playing at Disneyland.
