Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo and March Break Redux

We took another trip to the Toronto Zoo today. The family had a nice time - we were one of the first to arrive so the we had easy access when seeing all of the animals. Ella especially enjoyed looking at the aquariums and the gorillas. The video is of Ella explaining that she eats fish - Goldfish crackers, that is.

March Break was fun for Ella and Mommy. Ella had her first haircut; although, her bed head, as shown in this picture, doesn't highlight how cute her little bob haircut looks (no more "Shorty Longback" as we called it).

In terms of milestones, Ella continues to be a chatty girl. One of her latest phrases includes, "I'm frustrated, Mommy". She also likes to proclaim, "Look at me! I'm a Princess" and twirls around the room. She dances and says, "I can shake my booty". She can sing the whole alphabet by herself and has recently fallen in love with Dora, Boots, and Swiper (or "Fwiper" as she calls him). She recently acquired Dora dolls (ironically at the Zoo) and has not parted with them since. She enjoys running around the house and remains an incredible snuggler.

The baby is moving a lot in Mommy's tummy now as she continues to try and make her presence known. We have the all-important ultrasound next week to determine if the blood flow in the uterus will become a problem later on in the pregnancy (if it does, then it may mean an early delivery by C-section). We are thinking optimistically and hoping all will be well.
