Ella is quite obsessed with clothes and shoes. She loves to change her clothes several times a day. She will sneak into her closet, grab items that catch her eye, and throw them on. She comes out looking pretty silly most of the time. Her mismatched, backwards, upside creations crack me up.

Already she has a style of her own.

A visit from Aunt Tatia

Aunt Tatia came to visit us for a whole week!!!

Ella has not stopped talking about her and all the fun they had.

Here is what Tatia did while she was here...

She got silly with candy rings.

She took Ella to ride her bike.

She tooK Ella for an adventure at the park.

She took Ella to Orange County to see an old friend.

(Lyric and her daughter Charlise who is 4 days younger than Ella.)

She made cookies while Elliott took me out for a birthday dinner.

She let Ella play dress up with all her fancy shoes.

Ella really LOVES her Aunt Tatia and hopes to see her again soon.

Ride the Bike!

Ella is in LOVE with her little bike. She rides it around inside our very small apartment all the time. She yells at the top of her lungs over and over again,

"Ride the Bike, Ride the Bike!!"

You can imagine her excitement when I actually take her outside to roll around. She LOVES it!!!
