It's February and I only have about a week left before my little brother arrives! He's scheduled to be born on Friday, February 12th at George Washington University Hospital. I have learned some new things since my last post. For one, I saw a girl at the Georgetown Library skipping and I was able to modify that and turn it into a gallop. So now my favorite thing to do is to gallop like a pony. I also learned how to say my name. Now if you ask me what my name is I can say "Ella"! I say it by accentuating the "l" sound and sticking my tongue out like a little lizard. Mom and Daddy are hoping to have some video footage on here soon so you can get a kick out of it too. For some reason, they laugh and clap their hands when I say my name. I don't know why they're laughing, but I start laughing too!
I think I've outgrown my high chair. Perhaps it's time for a booster seat. I am beginning to enjoy eating my breakfast, lunch and dinner a little more. I was pretty picky until recently. Now, I am beginning to really enjoy eating chicken--which is my daddy's favorite food. And Mommy cooks a lot of vegetarian dishes (she's not a vegetarian, but she really enjoys vegetarian meals) so I'm learning to like different textures and different tastes.
Here are a couple pictures of me having fun dining out at Ikea in College Park. I had a couple Swedish meatballs, some broccoli, squash, and french fries. Yum! The other picture is of me mimicking Mommy practice Yoga. I am beginning to become quite good at it!
