No pic today, but I would like to post a video soon. It will likely have Ella saying her two new favourite words, "hi" and "bye". She understands when to say each of them and especially loves to yell "bye" when we are leaving daycare. They are often accompanied with a wave. It is so cute. She also now loves to say "Daddy" - she's graduated from "Dada". It is amazing watching her language develop. She has a quite the impressive vocabulary already. However, she enjoys saying the following 9 words regularly: Mama, Daddy, BaBa (Bronte), Oma, Papa, Hi, Bye, Ella, and LaLa (our nickname for her pacifier). She also says "kisses", variations of "ball" and "book", "turkey", "chicken" and has started to say "me" and "mine". Daycare said that she even understands the concept of "mine" as Ella will point to herself when she says it. She also will point to herself when she says her name.
She still loves to give hugs. All you have to do is ask for one and she quickly rests her head on your shoulder and nuzzles into your neck. There is no better feeling than that hug on the plantet!!!
Every day we are in awe of her new discoveries. It has been such a joy watching her develop as a little person. She is also quite sassy!!! Oh gosh, we are in for it! She hates to be told no or to be denied something that she longs for. The temper quickly emerges. She will flail herself on the ground and have a little meltdown. Truth be told, it is funny to watch (for now, anyway). She is very determined and stubborn. She has Mommy's sass and Daddy's sweet, loving side for sure.
