Catching up with Ella

I haven't been very good at keeping my kids journals, so I thought I better quickly write down some things that Ella has been up to these past few weeks.
1) Ella now recognizes Mickey Mouse and anytime she sees him, she yells out "Icky".
2) She also loves, loves ducks. Anytime she sees a duck (sign, stuffed animal, book), she yells out "ducky, ducky". I am not kidding, this girl loves ducks.
3) She now knows all the hand motions to "Ball for Baby" and "Popcorn Popping". if we sing these songs, she stops, does the motions with a big smile on her face and claps and shouts at the end of the song.
4) Ella follows and does anything Hannah does. She is definitely her little shadow.
5) Ella likes to turn off and on all the light switches. Not only around our house, but in other buildings too. This little activity can keep her quite busy.
6) Anytime she sees an animal, she always goes "hi. hi." in this squeaky, sweet voice. It doesn't matter if it is on t.v., a book or in real life. She particularly likes cats and dogs.
When we were out walking Chrismtas lights, we walked past a family with a dog and Ella was right up to it saying "hi", while Hannah was across the street scared as can be.

Glad you posted some Ella time, because when she sees how much time Hannah got when she was Ella's age, she might feel a bit slighted. So, we are happy to hear all about our little Ella and her isms. And where did that crazy hair come from - how did you get that shot? It looks like you plugged her into an electrical socket - "little miss Einstein" MOM.
Ella certainly has just as much personality as her older sister! And a cat definetly describes her perfectly! And that sweet "hi" voice really is too perfect!
Love the hair. You need to bring her to Seattle and ride the DUCK. They sell the best duck quakers. She would love it (however mom may not, we gave them to all the grands for Christmas and their mom's are still cursing us.) "}
So adorable! She is so grown up!
