Latest Accomplishments

Climbing into her highchair – Ella has been able to climb into her stroller for a while now, but climbing into her highchair, and turning around is a new feat. One that makes us a tad nervous, since she’s performing this one without a net. And she hasn’t figured out how to get down …

Signing “I love you” – This has to be the cutest thing EVER. And she knows she’s being cute. Part of the way she signs it involves putting her head down and looking up at you coyly.

Climbing the ladder on her climbing structure – When Ella first got this toy for her first birthday, Jason put a ramp up to allow her to climb up on her own. She can now climb up the (two-rung) ladder.

Climbing into her car seat – I’m sensing a pattern here. I have a feeling the Parent/Tot “gymnastics” class I signed us up for in Feb. will be a hit. Her friend Dorothy -- aka "DeeThee" – (pictured below) is taking it as well.
