just a little update

since i haven't posted a blog in a little while and i have some time to myself now that ella is finally asleep, i thought it'd be a good time for a little update on ella and life. :)

not much has gone on though so i doubt this post will be anything too exciting.

so ella had her 1 year check up on july 26th. she's 20 pounds 8 ounces which is in the 25th percentile for weight, and she's 31 inches long which is in the 95th percentile for length. the doctor said she's about the height of a 17 month old, CRAZY. she's really starting to get hair now and i'm able to put a little clip in her hair without a headband to attach it to. :P now i just cant wait to be able to put it up in a little pony tail or pig tails. she can say mom, mommy, baby, belly button, dad, daddy and she's said a few other words here are there but those are the ones she uses the most, besides her constant blabbing and making up her own language which it truly does sound like. lets see, what else, she's running now, well walking really fast. and she doesn't believe in crawling anymore. she's TOTALLY off formula. she actually had her last bottle of it last night, and as great as it was to finally be done with it, it was sort of bitter sweet, as weird as that might sound. she's eating 2 bottles a day now, once in the morning when she wakes up and once right before bed. she eats all kinds of table and finger foods now days, which is nice, just being able to feed her what were eating. it's still hard for me to believe she's 1 now, it doesn't seem like it's been a year already, i still look at her and see my little baby, and i know it will always be that way.

it's really humid here now days and i'm so excited to start seeing all the fall/winter things starting to come out in stores, yesterday i made ella's first pair of leg warmers and they are sooo cute, i cant wait for her to start wearing them!.. oh and halloween is coming up, i wonder what i'll dress ella up as this year..

night ♥
