She loves to talk, just like her Momma!

Ella has become quite the little chatter box lately!! She can definitely say a lot of words now. But, she mostly talks her little Ella gibberish. She sounds like she is just carrying on her own little conversations with different tones and she sounds like she asking you questions all the time. I can make out some of the words on a good day. Ella has become OBSESSED with the cell phone! No toy phone (no matter how real looking) can compete! She will talk on my cell phone for like an hour and has called many people with out me knowing and just gabbed away! (sorry if you were one of them) This little clip is of Ella having one of her many conversations on my cell phone.

~Pause my music so you can hear how funny she sounds!

I also wanted to write down some of the funny stuff Ella is doing right now, so I don't forget:
*She really wants to feed herself by using a bowl and a spoon. She loves it! (mostly, she makes a huge mess!)
*She blows on her food before she takes a bite. It's hilarious! (learned from mom)
*She is talking before she walking! She can say "kitty, doggie, hello, bye-bye, my momma, daddy, bath, baby, juice, up, more, no-no, don't want, okay, truck, book, ball, banana, apple, and dance, uh-oh" are some of her vocab right now!
*She can walk by barely holding my pinkie finger. She thinks she needs it, and if I let go she will take a few steps, before realizing that she is not holding on, gets scared and sits down. Everything is on Ella's own time frame.
*She still only has four teeth. Hello! It's taking forever! She still hasn't hit 20 lbs and she is 16 months! Ella's a little bean!
*She dances to everything! and to the beat. She is a good little dancer! You can just say the word dance, and she's a dancin'!
*She knows all her body parts, hands, feet, nose, ears, hair, head, mouth, teeth, eyes, belly button and can point to each one. When you say " show me your teeth" and she chomps her teeth up and down. And when you say "Where are your eyes?" she blinks them really slow, up and down. Super funny! She is in Love with her belly button! She is always checking it out!
* She loves a ton of attention. She will ham it up for you, if you give her some, by blowing kisses or playing a game of peek-a-boo!
* She is extremely particular in the way she wants things done. she has to have things in her order. She loves taking things out of something (like a jar etc.) and putting it neatly back and putting the lid on and off. Loves to close and open doors, drawers, cupboards, Tupperware etc. keeps her entertained for a long time.
* She loves her little tea set, and make a swish noise when she "pours" her tea in to the teacups. And then takes the teacup and pretends to drink from it. So cute.
* She is a T.V. fan! Right now her fav's are: Sesame Street, Telatubbies, Tiger and Pooh, Bunny Town, Mickey's Playhouse, Baby Einstein, and Toy Story.
* She can throw a monster temper tantrum! I'm not looking forward to the terrible two's. She will scream for attention, and I HATE it! I I'm trying very hard to nip that in the bud!
* Except for me (she's a big time mommas girl) She loves boys/guys, and will go to them, over any lady. Should I be scared??
* Always ready for a bath. If you say to her "wanna take a bath?" she will tell you "yeah" and start tugging on her clothes as she makes her way to the bathtub.

* She's good at giving kisses, when we ask "Can I have a kiss?" She puckers up and gives a big, open mouth, drooly, kiss. Which I of course, love.
