Hobbes

Ella loves Hobbes.  Every morning when we wake up, she will go find him to give him loves.  She is so gentle with him and loves to give him kisses and scratches.  Hobbes is pretty tolerant of her and allows her to sit by him and love on him occasionally.  Every now and again he loses his temper.  It's so funny/pathetic to see the look on her face when he gets mad but, in the end they end up friends again.

18 Months

It's so hard to believe that my little girl is a year and a half.  She's getting so big and learning so many things.  She's smart, funny, sweet, crazy, wild, loving, adorable and, loud.  We love this girl so very much.  Some of her exciting things at 18 months:

26.5 pounds!!! 

Not sure on height =\

Is almost able to jump

Has her favorite friend (puppy)

Can say : Mama, Daddy, Papa, hi, bye, thank you, no, mine, shoe, what's that, what is this and, more...

She tries to mimic almost everything we do. 

She's a very sweet girl but we're thinking the terrible twos could be starting early =\
