not your best look…
Remember the days as a kid when you pressed your face against mesh netting because it felt funny? Well, Ella, you look about as funny as it feels. Sorry girl, had to post these!

thanks ella
Today I was looking at pictures with Ella on the computer. She was very good about naming all the people she saw in each picture. We then came across the first picture I had taken of Asher’s rolls and she said, “That is mommy.” Thanks Ella.
Here is the picture that she thinks is me.

middle
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about now having a ‘middle’ child. I don’t want Ella to get stuck and be the ‘lost’ child who doesn’t necessarily get all the high fives for doing new things b/c Rilyn already has accomplished them and then doesn’t get the attention the baby of the family usually gets. Ella is our cuddle bug, our funny girl, our loud laugher, and our sobber who can’t catch her breath b/c she is crying so hard and passes out for a second. She longs to be like Rilyn (copies what she says all of the time) yet she is definitely her own self who wants to let you know she is in the room!!
So, I’m intentionally going to start taking Ella out on a mommy and me day to do something with just her (okay, okay, so I got the idea from Jon & Kate plus 8) So, here is some of my favorite pics of Ella this month.

Ella’s First Haircut
We took our first outing on Friday to Toys R Us to get Ella’s first haircut. My mom was with us so I wasn’t totally crazy going out alone with 3 kids. Asher did okay. I had to feed him and then he had a poop explosion where I went through 3 diapers and 50 wipes in one change. It took about 15 minutes to clean him so that was fun.
Ella sure looked cute after her haircut and is such a little girl now. Where has our toddler gone?

Potty Like A Rock Star
Ella started becoming interested in potty training at 23 months. Four months later, we are still working on it, but slowly progressing. I don’t think she will be fully trained by Asher’s arrival, but she is doing good!
(The reason she is doing her pout is because she doesn’t want to wear the ‘rock star’ glasses mommy is making her wear b/c they go well with her shirt!) 😉

Ella turns 2!
We can’t believe our little ‘baby’ has turned 2 already! We love her so much and she brings such laughter and joy to our family. Her birthday party was so much fun and here are some of my favorite pics.

Paquette Annual Christmas photo
Every year, right after Thanksgiving, I attempt to get our family all dressed up to take a Christmas photo for our annual Christmas card. Here is a preview at how successful I was this year.
