Happy 1st Birthday to Ella

I know I have not put up any pictures of Ella in months so I am going to try to catch everyone up. Ella turned 1 year old on June 12. She had her one year visit to the pediatrician and we found out she is a little peanut. She weighs 19 1/2 pounds and is 28 inches long which are both around the 25th percentile. She is really walking well and has finally started getting more teeth...I think she has about 8 now. She is finally starting to eat like a normal person and doesn't insist on shoving everything down her throat at one time...which makes meal time so much better for me! We had a big party the Saturday after her birthday with all of our friends and family. I was scared that she would just bust out crying with everyone staring at her. Boy, was I wrong. She smiled and danced away while everyone sang to her. It was such a special day! I wasn't very good at taking pictures throughout the day but here are a few that I got.

She really isn't into any characters yet so we just had a color theme...her rainbow cupcakes

she loved all of her birthday balloons

I love this one because she has her arm around him. She just looks so little sitting next to Jack.
