This month, Ella had her first sinus infection. She wasn't eating much, and her weight gain had plateaued around 20.5 pounds. However, after she got over that, she developed a "hollow leg", and began to eat! She ended the month at a little over 22 lbs, and got taller as well. Her vocabulary increases by leaps and bounds on an almost daily basis. She has 2- and 3-word sentences, as well as polysyllabic words...how she has changed!

Ella loves to color...on paper, on the wall, on the dog, on books, etc.  She's learning (slowly) that crayons are for paper only.

I pulled out her ponies while daddy did diaper duty before bed.  I thought it was cute how the hair stayed in the same place after i'd pulled the bands out through the gap in the changing table.

Ella's "big" Christmas present...it is also an art table, and can convert to both a desk and an art easel.  It came with two stools, too.  She loves it.
