Happy 15 Months

Ella is 15 Months old today. We had her well-baby check-up and at 31.5" she's still in the 95th percentile for her height; at 22.5 lbs she's still in the 50th percentile for her weight. Long and lean like Daddy. Everything else is great, she's hitting and surpassing all her milestones. She is learning everyday. She can understand so much now it's amazing! :

* She can find and bring to you when asked: her milk, juice, teddy bear, blanket, angel, froggy, shoes, and puppy.
* When we go outside she knows to get her shoes first.
* She brings us anything she knows she shouldn't have but has found lying around: the remote control, her cd's, the phone, our folded laundry... really anything that's not in her toybox.
* She knows "It's naptime" and will take our hand and walk to her bedroom, or get her blanket and stick her thumb in her mouth.
* Wrinkles her nose when you ask if she's got a stinky diaper.
* Blow kisses and waves bye bye. Can give "Eskimo" kisses with her nose.
* Mimics our facial expressions, and body movements.
* Will dance when she hears music or when we say "Dancing Ella!"
* Has signed for us that she's finished (eating usually).

Ron continues to heal. For anyone who knows him, knows he's so energetic and active. I think the hardest part of his recovery will be taking it easy. I came home with Ella after the doctors and the kitchen was spotless and he was cleaning the bathroom! LOL It was so funny to know that after a few days of sleeping he is now literally unable to sit still and the bathroom is sparkly!
We played out in the backyard and Ella has picked up on my gardening. She carried the watering can around and touched all the flowers with it. Too cute.
