17 Months!!

Not sure if this will be my last "monthly" post about Ella (I hope not) but not sure how much I'll get done after Miss Callie arrives...needless to say this is a special post...the last one of Ella being an only child!  Ella you have brought us more joy in these last 17 months and I cannot wait to see you grow into your roll as big sister (although you are not too much older and you are still a "baby" to me!).

• You are in size 4 diapers during the day and night.
• You are wearing 12 months and 18 months clothes.
• You are taking one nap usually about 1pm and it lasts anywhere from 1 hour to 3 (usually closer to 1 1/2 hours).
• You have started not going to sleep too quickly at night (usually you don't fall asleep until after 9). 
• You are still talking non-stop and you can say so many words!
• You LOVE music and LOVE to sing.
• You are obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (TV) and Mother Goose Club (YouTube)...always wanting to "watch" Mickey and "sing" Mother Goose.  
• You "know" who your baby sister is... Callie.
• When Daddy comes home you love to go in our room and "change" with him.  (When Daddy walks through the door you will say "Change, change, Ella change please".
• It is pretty cute... when you want something you will say "please Ella"... for example when you want your water you will say "water please Ella".  
• Your favorite books right now are Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Pooh Loves and I'm a Big Sister.
• Your favorite foods are "pa" (pasta) and beans (lima, black, pinto).
