Have I mentioned before how much I love my child?
She is at the most adorable stage, where she’s saying lots of words and doing all sorts of funny things. She makes me laugh every day.
Now comes the part where I force you to look at many many pictures of her. You’re welcome. All taken on my phone, so the quality is ridiculously high (you’re doubly welcome).
I’ll start you off easy with a picture of her at Target where I handed her a felt Easter basket and when I heard her laughing, turned around to see she’d put it around her neck.
Ella loves to cook. Landen made her this apron.
Also, that oven mitt? She pulled it out on her own and put it on. I love that it goes up to her shoulder.
Ella is crazy about Buddy Bucks at HEB. As soon as we get to the register, she asks the cashier for them and when we get to the machine, her hands are shaking so much she can hardly feed the bucks in.
This picture makes my mom’s heart sing – she’s been holding out hope for a curly haired grandchild ever since it was evident that all her five children had hair so straight you could use it as a ruler.

Thanks for sharing these. The red slide is my favorite. I am enjoying having a little one vicariously since my little one is 28. Still the joy of my life, but it's not quite the same.
Saskia says
Yay, Ella pictures! Until I can have my own kids, I satisfy my maternal urges by looking at other people's pictures. So thanks.

She is so wonderful! I love seeing your pictures of her. I also love, love, love reading about how much joy she brings into your life. I am sure that parenting is a huge challenge, but you really seem to excel at it! Thanks for sharing.

Oh my gosh, she is darling. I thinks he looks just like you! What a cutie. You must have so much fun. 🙂 The tiny apron makes me want to have a girl!

This post makes me SO excited to have my own little girl in a few months. I hope she's as adorable and delightful as yours!

You have such a cute daughter! All of the photos are great, but that first one? Hysterical. I love it!
Emily Kate says
I love this. She is such a sweetheart!
Jenae says
She had me at hello. We need to get her and Eli together and then the cuteness would over power the Earth's gravitational pull and finally every thing would officially revolve around them.

You are assaulting my uterus. Agh cutest child to exist…

Operation Pink Herring says
She is so precious it makes my heart want to burst! It makes me so look forward to the coming months with Hannah. (The oven mitt. I die.)
Bethany says
Bring her to meeee!!!!
Anna says
I have been waiting for lots and lots of pictures of her–Thanks!! She is adorable. I hope I get to meet her soon!
Lisa says
Oh my! She's just adorable beyond words. The spontaneous laughing like at Target! Big slides! (LE just went down the big one on her own this week. It wasn't really intentional on my part, but she was in a hurry and I couldn't get myself in place fast enough.) I wish I had more patience in the kitchen, I usually just want to do it myself.
Jillian says
So adorable!!
Monica says
Cutest child ever! (Don't tell Clara.)
Jodi says
She is so beautiful I can hardly stand it! I understand the curly hair thing, I don't know why, but I just hope so badly to have one (probably because I always wished my hair was curly)
