Potty Training...
CHECK! Ella is POTTY TRAINED! A big thanks to Potty Training Boot Camp (with a few personal tweaks). Last weeks weather made it easy to be stuck in the house for a few days to tackle the potty training obstacle. Keyword "HURRY" signals it's time to get to the potty.
FYI - Dum Dum's are the perfect bribe.

Two Years Check Up...
Ella had her two year old check up today. She weighs 24.5 pounds (25th percentile) and is 34 inches tall (50th percentile). Dr. Barringer was very impressed with Chatty Ella Mattie's vast vocabulary and ability to communicate, I wonder who she gets that from?? Overall, she's the picture of perfect health!

Second Birthday Party...
Ella celebrated her second "Elmo themed" birthday party surrounded by friends and family. The highlights of the party was the bounce house and ice cream truck.

Eighteen Months Check Up...
On Wednesday we went for Ella's 18 months check up. She weighs 22.8 pounds and is 31 inches tall, both fall in the 30th percentile, but she has grown two inches since November. Unfortunately, Ella has associated Dr. Barringer's nurse with getting shots, so once Ella saw her face she freaked out. Once back in the exam room, she settled down and was happy to see Dr. Barringer, at least until she started the exam. Oh well, at least there were no shots this visit and won't be any until Kindergarten. She is very impressed with Ella's progress, especially her vocabulary. These days Matt and I find ourselves wondering "who taught her that" and "where did she learn that", she is like a little sponge. She tells us when she wants to take a bath and that she's ready to go "night-night". She has excelled at Gymboree. She is able to follow and anticipate instructions. So much has changed in the last few months. It's hard to believe she's six months closer to her 2nd birthday!
