Turning One Means Big Fun!!

Hey Ella!

Well, since you've turned one, we've been having big fun here at the Farrell house! For starters, Mommy bought you your own gallon of whole milk, just for you. I've been gradually easing it in as I get rid of your formula, but so far, so good. Like I said before, if you are anything like your mama, you will LOVE milk. Plus, it does a body good.

On top of that, since the formula is dwindling, the food is increasing! For instance, for breakfast this morning you had blueberries and a waffle! You loved it! For lunch we had turkey and peas, which you gobbled up. And for dinner, not only did you have chicken, peas and a little of some baked sweet potato pieces, a little later daddy also fed you some broccoli and brown rice. You are LOVING feeding yourself, and more importantly, you are loving the real food! It's messy, but fun!

Mommy took some video last night of us "trying to wind you down" to go to sleep. You apparently learned how to twirl around in a circle, and while daddy serenaded you with the xylophone, you danced in the buff!


I'm also posting a video of you riding in your car (imagine that). But somehow you got a backseat driver! He was cracking you up!


Love, Mommy

OHMYGOD!!! That is the two funniest videos I have ever seen. She is such a clown... wonder where she gets that from??? Could it be the xylaphone playing dad or the driver of the car that takes her up the slide??? Ella, you have such a fun road ahead with your Mommy and especially your crazy Daddy. He will make sure you never frown or cry...he will always be there to make you laugh...and your mom will always be there to protect you from him sometimes... lol...I love you so much my little Ella.... and I miss you so much!!
