Ella at Sixteen Months!


This is Ella's face when you ask her to show you what is in her mouth!


I am so thankful I was able to be HOME and watch Ella grow over this past month!

Love the update!! She has grown SO much...well, maybe not physically, but she is doing so much more all the time! I love our Lizzie-Ella time in the mornings even when I am sleepy! Just wait -- I will have her loving country music in no time! :)
