I Can Do Anything You Can Do Better

You know that old song that goes "I can do anything you can do better?"


Well I should play that for Ella. She has become quite the little mimic these days. If she sees someone patting their head, she pats her head. If you spin in a circle, she spins a circle. The other night she had her hands above her head making these weird movements. I wasn't sure what she was doing until I looked behind me at Ben and saw that he was putting on his tux jacket and was adjusting the collar. She was mimicking his movements just without the jacket.


She amazes me with how much she is growing and changing. The baby that she was a year ago is gone. She is absolutely a toddler now. She runs around the house trying to do every thing she can. I can't pull anything over her. I used to be able to be able to tuck my phone or the remote under a cushion and she would forget about it, but now she knows exactly what I am trying to do and will move the cushion to get the phone or remote.


She is far too smart for my own good.

It took longer then it should have...

Yesterday I was vacuuming the house and it took much longer then it normally does because of Ella. Not because she was being bad or into things she shouldn't be in but rather she was far too cute. Every time I looked at her she was doing one of the cutest things she could do. I would have to stop immediately, grab the camera and hope I could capture the cuteness. Some times I was successful and other times I was not.

Lately she has really been into books. She will carry books around the house "reading" them. I looked over while vacuuming and saw her sitting on her pillow reading her book. Way too cute.

It's a really good book!




She also found her rocking chair to be a good spot to read her book.

She tried to feed Hudson her cantaloupe she threw down during her lunch. He didn't eat them, but he did lick them and then she ate it. So I won't be winning mommy of the year for that one.

He wasn't very interested.

When he didn't want to eat the cantaloupe she played hide and seek behind the curtains. What can I say. She is cute.
