Ella celebrated her second birthday in style--she had a Fancy Nancy themed birthday party!
Here are a few things that we LOVE about Ella being two:

• she says, "mommy/daddy where are you?" when we are just around the corner
• she really emphasizes words that start with a 'h'--hhhheavy, hhhhot, and hhhhat.
• her favorite friend at day care is Davis or "Davith" according to Ella and daddy cringes every time when he asks her "who did you play with today?" and Ella replies every time with "Davith!"
• she says "you're welcome" if you don't say "thank you" fast enough
• she can dress and undress herself...many times.in.one.afternoon
• "Ella did it!" when she is proud of herself accomplishing something, and "Daddy did it" or "Mommy did it" when something happens...like a picture frame falls over!
• "help you" when she means "help me"
• boo boo bear is a staple in Ella's day to day activities
• milk is still her beverage of choice
• she is a great big sister to Tate!
• even though she is becoming more and more independent every day, she still needs her mommy & daddy.

We love you, Ella!!
