ZOO

We took advantage of the warm weather and went to the zoo today with Ella's friends Charlie and Sophia (and my friends, Melissa and Kim). Ella went once before when she was a lot younger, but wasn't too impressed. Today, she made every animal noise + sign that she knew with the appropriate animal of course. If she wasn't sure what the animal was-well then it was a dog :) So of course none of my pictures look like we were at the zoo, but I did not want to put up just animal pics because this is Ella's blog after all. So here are pics of her running around with Charlie and some at the house. It is difficult to take pics of a moving toddler!











I don't like to tell people all the stuff she is doing, because I don't want to be that mom....but since mostly family reads this I guess I can brag some :)
At my last count she says approx. 65 words (not counting her numerous animal sounds) and at least that many signs. She can ID all the parts of her body, identify a few shapes and count up to 3. Not bad for a one and a half year old!
