Ella sitting on the potty!

Lately ella has been telling me "poo poo" after she has already gone potty in her diaper. I have been telling her that she needs to tell mommy BEFORE she goes in her diaper. So today she told me twice about having to go poo poo but we didnt make it to the potty in time. then after dinner she tells nick and i "poo poo". We immediately looked at each other and said "hurry potty!!!!" We sat her down and she just thought she was sooo BIG!!!! This is a video of her sitting on the potty all by her self!

Note: She ended up only doing one little poo in the toliet. But hey its better than nothing right ?!?!?! We are just so proud of her!!! (Im sure people don't want to hear about this kind of stuff but when your a proud mommy you'll blog just about anything!!!!) Sorry the video is small =( just make sure your volume is turned up

Picasso Jr??

Ella is such a sweet precious angel when she is sleeping =) Now when she's awake... thats a whole other story! hahahaha I swear she walks around thinking "what trouble can i get into???"Yesterday I was working in the office ( ok playing on the computer), and ella was playing in her room. I knew she was playing with her toys and books because every now and then she would bring me a toy or book. I kept looking down the hallway and I could see her playing with her toys and books. The next thing I know little miss ella came over to me with a permanent marker. (Note: this marker was on her dresser because thats what we use to mark her Growth Chart!) I stayed calm and said "ok Ella lets go see what you did!" As I walked into her room Ella starts blabbering (i'm sure she was saying she had drawn on the furniture... ). I looked and sure enough this is what i see....This is better than Picasso's work right?????

I tried to clean the diaper trash can but unfortunately since it was permanent marker it wouldn't come clean. So I thought "lets try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser." Sure enough a few scrubs here and there the permanent marker disappeared =) It looks bran spankin new! So Lesson: to take permanent marker off something USE Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.... IT WORKS!!!!!

Ohhh Ella... she is such the artist already.... I guess we need to start working on ONLY coloring or drawing on coloring books or papers NOT diaper cans or Growth charts! Luckily she didn't color on the wall!!! hahahah

When you can't find....

YOUR daughter.... you might want to check under the TRAILER!!!!!! Yes this happend when i went camping with my sister and brother in law about a month ago! I was sitting outside of the trailer cleaning Ella's carseat because she had made a mess (poo went through the diaper and got everywhere... the joys of motherhood) Ella was hanging out and climbing all over the carseat. So I told her to go play with Alison so I could finish putting the carseat back together. I looked away for a SECOND and when I looked back Ella was gone. I felt my heart stop beating when a panic set in. I quickly searched and there she was standing straight up in the middle of under the trailor! She thought it was so funny! So after i took a deep breath I grabbed my camera and took this shot...unfortunately it was when she was almost out from under the trailer.... silly girl!
I don't know what I would do if anything happened to this sweet precious angel!!!

Wordless Wednesday

My funny girl

Oh my gosh i haven't realized its been like a month since i last blogged!!!!! That is crazy and i am WAY over due!!! I don't have much time right now but i PROMISE i will blog later about all of our lastest adventures!

So for now I will just post a few pictures that i took on my cell phone today of ella. she is getting so big everyday and she definitely has us all laughing at everything she does.

Today I laid her down for a nap and apparently she had another idea. She didn't want to sleep so instead she took all of her blankets and stuffed animals OUT of her crib. BUT not before she turned on her light (she just figured out how to turn her light on and off)

Then ...since she is a little monkey.... she LOVES climbing on everything and anything!!!! Should I be worried she is gonna fall off the HOPE CHEST?!?!?! I think she has mastered climbing off of it so Im not too worried but I need to teach her that climbing on everything is not ok! But for now .... she is so adorable so im gonna be cherish this!

Well if she can't climb on the hope chest then maybe she should take ALL the toys out of the box and then climb INSIDE it! Are you serious!!!! She did a great job problem solving.... If i can't climb on top of it then climb inside =)

THERE'S a plus to climbing inside... she found a PACI!!!! I Need to blog about how my princess no longer takes a paci... anyhow.... she thought it was hysterical that she found it until i took it away from her ... opps....=)

YES all this happened in ONE day! So many funny things all happening today. I love you ella bella =) Bring on more of your funny moments!!
