18 months

We headed to the doc for Ella's 18 month appt last week and our little (or should I say BIG) girl is still growing like a weed. Here are the stats:

Weight: 30lbs

97%

Height: 33.5 inches

90-95%

Head circumference: 19.5 inches

>97%

The doctor said we have absolutely nothing to worry about with Ella. She is a healthy girl and developing great. He was really impressed with her vocabulary and couldn't believe how much she was talking. We are so blessed to have such a happy, healthy, well-adjusted baby girl.

Our only challenge with Ella seems to be the on-set of the TERRIBLE TWO's. We were informed the they actually start around 18mos and boy do they!!! Ella is strong-willed to the MAX! She knows what she wants and she IS going to get it! She's quite a handful when she gets her mind set to something and we are STILL spending quite a bit of time in the corner. I'm hoping this blows over soon!

Weekend fun

A photographer friend of ours (Alan Fulte Photgraphy http://www.alanfulte.com/) captured some amazing shots of Ella at a birthday party this weekend.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Happy 4th of July!

Ella hopes everyone had as good a 4th as our family did!!

We were blessed with a visit from GG and Granddaddy Godsey. It was a wonderful weekend!

GG got herself a pair of cowboy boots while visiting, and Ella just HAD to try them on!

We also spent time at the zoo, watching fireworks, swimming in the backyard and good food!

Thanks for the wonderful memories and looking forward to another visit soon!
