Ella Bella

Ella had a few nights last week of going to bed really late (a couple nights she showed no signs of being tired and wanted to play and another night she was at a Latin Dance party at a friend's house with my mom and apparently danced more than everyone else!) But, this week she's back on her night time schedule but sleeping really late in the mornings (fabulous!). So, Chris and I went in to wake her up at about 9am the other day and found her in our favorite sleeping position ever so we had to take a picture. She slept in this bottom-in-the-air position a lot as a baby so it was very nostalgic for us. We oooed and ahhhed and took a bunch of pictures before we woke her up.

This Ella's new Kitchen! Thanks Aunt Amy! It's pretty high tech. The burners light up when you turn them on, the microwave "dings," the faucet makes running water sounds when you turn it on and "Chef Tony" talks to you when you look at the recipe book. She really enjoys pretend play lately so this is perfect! (My friend Jen got us another smaller kitchen for $2.50 at a thrift store today! Yay for cheap toys and generous friends!)

It was a beautiful day so I took a few pictures of Ella outside. Here's one that is really cute and a horrible one that I think is pretty funny :-)
