Ella ...13 months

Stats:

• Height - 181cm
• Weight - 13 kilos
• Clothes - size 2
• Shoes - size 4

Loves:

• Nanny - Every time nanny comes to the door you light up and wave like crazy.  Even I don't get that reception when I come home!  I don't blame you for loving her so much though.
• Cheese!  If there's one thing that you love to eat it's cheese.  Even if there's nothing else I can get you to eat.  You can't quite say the word but you often sit in your high chair and bop up and down saying "chee" while clapping.  Sultana's are also another favourite.
• Wandering around the backyard or park.  You could spend hours on end just walking around and exploring and never seem to get tired of it.
• My iPhone.   You have just worked out how to turn the screen on and love to look at the screen shot photo that comes up of you and daddy.  It's scary how easily you learn how to use the phone and you know how to run your finger across the screen to move it, and pinch your fingers to make a picture bigger or smaller.  You're 13 months old for heaven's sake!
• Listening to music and dancing.

Hates:

• Leaving the park.  I dread putting you back in the pram because you kick and scream as if you're being abducted by a stranger and everyone stares at me!
• Being told that you can't do something.  It's your way or the highway according to you.

Words:

• Mama
• Dada
• Bubba
• Archie
• Chee (cheese)
• Quack (as in the duck sound - however you say 'kuck, kuck, kuck' every time you see a bird.  Close though. 
• Puppy
• Bird
• Elmo.  You love  your Elmo doll but your first pair of shoes was a little pair of sneakers with Elmo on them.  You now insist on calling any kind of shoe 'Elmo'.
