Since a lot has been focused on her little sister lately (and she's not even here yet), I thought I would give a little update about our sweet little Ella. She had her two-year checkup at the beginning of August. She was in the 50% for weight and 90% for height. So maybe we have a little basketball (or volleyball) player on our hands. She also has excellent hand-eye coordination and fantastic motor skills (I'm not a proud parent or anything).
Her verbal skills are really starting to come along as well. Although we might like her to say useful things like: juice, food, etc. She has chosen what she says carefully and it works for her. Her current favorite words and phrase are: "Ah man" if something doesn't go her way; "Heeey" for when we change the television channel from cartoons to football; "uh oh" for everything if she drops it or breaks it; and "boop" for going #2 in her diaper.
She also says "baby" now and seems to fully understand that there is a baby in Mommy's tummy. She comes over and lovingly pats (okay, she smacks) my belly. She also gives the baby stickers by putting them on my shirt near my belly and brings small toys over and sets them on my belly. So it's nice that she is sharing with the baby already. ;-)
Her latest shenanigans involve jumping from various pieces of furniture to the floor and doing a tuck 'n roll type landing. She also likes to try to do somersaults but mostly just ends up looking through her legs as her head sits on the ground. She doesn't fully grasp the rolling over part of it yet.
We are thinking of sending her to NAA (Nemo Addicts Anonymous) because she is completely obsessed with anything and everything that has Nemo, a Nemo character, or even a fish resembling a Nemo character. Although, she does like to have a daily dose of watching A Bug's Life. Nothing seems to get her reved up like Nemo.
