Her stats:
Height: 32.75" 82% (her doctor thought the nurse's measurement might not be super accurate so she might be a little shorter, but whatever)
Weight: 21 lbs. 12 oz. 15%
Head: 18.3" 53%
At 18 months Ella has quite the personality. She has really started saying a lot of words. Some she says a lot are ma ma, da da, wa wa (water), uh oh, hello, hi, bye, Dust, Jill, baby, Charlie, ball, nigh nigh(good night), one two three, Riley, Josh, thank you, where are you, fishies, meow,and much more but that is all that is coming to mind right now. It seems like everyday she is learning new words, and she can understand a lot more than she can say at this point.
Ella is extremely busy and never sits still except for her one nap a day. She is very curious and likes to get into everything, especially tupperware and shoes. She is obsessed with talking on the phone whether it is real or fake. And she will pretend all kinds of things are phones, or she will just use her hand. She likes to watch Curious George, Sesame Street, and Super Why, although she is getting starting to lose some interest in the tv. This would explain why I have hardly cooked in the last month. She loves to dance and spin around in circles and make herself dizzy. I am pretty sure she gets that from her father. She spends a lot of time tormenting our dog Charlie. She absolutely loves him but I am pretty sure the feeling is not mutual.
Ella's favorite time of day is probably when Dustin gets home from work. She just loves playing with her Daddy. Ella takes a while to warm up to people, but there are a few besides Dustin and me that she absolutely loves: My mom is a definite favorite, my friend Jen, and Dustin's mom is up there too since Ella has seen more of her lately. And depending on the day she gets excited about other people too. Ella is extremely independent and she hates holding my hand. If I try to help her with something she will usually try to do it again all by herself. She is really good natured and is usually in a good mood. I don't think she has thrown a real tantrum yet, but I know it is coming. I am writing this to help myself remember Ella at this stage so way to go if you actually read it. Oh, and one last thing, Ella loves shoes and wears them all day everyday. She has definite opinions about her ensembles already. This is what Ella chose to wear the other day, and I just had to capture it. I love this girl so much, she has brought so much happiness into our lives and I couldn't imagine my days without her.

what a pose! This is great.
She is adorable! She sounds so much like Josh at that age! It was probably one of my favorite ages/stages with Josh! We miss you! I wish we were in Utah so we could hang out. We have 5 1/2 years left and then we'll probably finally be back. I guess we'll see, alot can happen in 5 years. Is your phone # the same still, I'd love to call you up and catch up sometime soon.
How precious! Thanks for sharing all the little tidbits of life with Ella. Love you all!
Your blog is going to make the best reading material years from now. It is a great journal. Ella is growing up so fast already.
Ella is so cute Jill! And she really is getting so big! I love that I am one of her favorite people. :-) I can't wait to watch her next week. And I love your background! It is SO cute!
Jill -
It was WAY TO AWESOME to run into you outside of Target a month ago. I'm sorry I couldn't stay and chat and catch up - you know how those moments in life happen. You look just as beautiful as ever and it was great to meet Ella. She looks so much like you - just beautiful. Love your blog and the updates and hope I can run into you again sometime!
