21 Months

Ella is 21 months today. She is doing great and talking so much! She pretty much repeats any word you ask her to and has been asking for most food, drink, toys and books by name. Ella has also started to pretend. Once a week we attend a class at the local library and at the end the teacher blows bubbles. A couple of days ago Ella held a peg like the wand and was using it to "blow bubbles." Her napping situation has also improved. She sleeps anymore from one hour to over two and a half hours. We've had a couple of nice days and gotten outside to play, which she loves. Here are some pictures I took before her nap today. Also, if you're wondering about the band aid on her head...Last week she was diving on to her beanbag chair and hit her head on the bottom hinge to the back door. It was a pretty good cut, but Brian and I didn't think she needed stitches. Ella was so brave and only cried for a minute or so and even let me hold ice on it while she watched a movie. It's pretty much healed, but I've tried to keep a band aid with neosporin on it at all times so it doesn't scar.
