Who is this child???

Okay, obviously it is Ella, but as I looked at the pictures I thought "when did she get this big????" I met my friend Jenny ( a friend that I went to high school in Alaska with, who lives here in Spokane too,) and her kids at the Bounce House, one of those crazy places with inflatable jump houses and slides. The kids had a blast, Hunter of course ran around like a mad man, they had a little area for babies so Ella played in there. I was so impressed with her, as soon as I set her down she went right for the stairs and started climbing, got up to the top and slid down the ramp on her belly. Such a big girl!!!!!



Up she goes










Notice the flared nostrils,
she is yelling at me,
making sure I am watching!










I'm at the top!









Seriously?
Stop saying my
name and let me
play!








Down she goes











It ain't pretty but it's fun!










Uh-oh, another one
with blue light fever : )












Look, no hands













I got mommy's cell phone








Hello, Pastor?
Yep she actually somehow
called our pastor from Texas.
I can't figure out the phone
but my 17 month old can.






Yesterday I was watching Ella play and saw her grab a toy, a plastic magnetic stick, and hold it to her babies mouth and pretend she was feeding it. I was just so proud, pretend play is a big thing. Such a smart girl!! Anyhow, today I bought her a baby bottle all of her own!


































































Now, why would I take a picture of my pop up clothes hamper?
















Because something crawled in it.















Yep, while I was putting away laundry my husband said that Ella first threw her baby doll in there, then climbed in. She thought it was hilarious.
