Ella' first Birthday Party!



Our sweet Ella turned 1 years old on November 4th. She just devoured her cupcake. We threw her a Owl Birthday Party! We also invited a few of her friends that were close to her in age. We sent out some owl invitations, ate owl cupcakes, had lime sherbet with sprite as our punch, pink six lets to give the table some color, catelope, and chocolate dipped pretzel sticks. We love our Ella, she is such a sweet girl. She finally sleeps through the night. She goes to bed at 8pm. and doesn't get up until 6pm. When she wakes up in the morning we watch our sesame street snuggled up on the couch, which I love. This kid gives so many kisses and hugs during the day and I can't complain, I love it. She waves to everyone and even blows kisses to strangers. She says, Momma, Datty, ball, Hi, and oohhh ohhh, the sound an owl makes. She is such a blessing in our home and we adore her. She went to the Doctor last Friday and was 50% on her head, 60% on her height and 5% on her weight. Our doctor wants to fatten her up by giving her instant breakfast packets in her milk and extra butter in her veggies and whatever we give her. She weights 17lbs. and 10 ounces. We have to go back for a follow up check up in 4 weeks to see if her weight is consistent. I think it's more hereditary then anything. I thinks she eats a lot. We love our Ella, she really is a good kid!

Ella eating her first cupcake ever, well her first whole cupcake.
A banner I made for Ella with my cricut.
Ella's owl cupcakes that her Daddy made for me, so easy and fast!

Ella got a hippo that spits out balls and makes them jump up and down for her birthday. She tries so hard to keep all the balls inside the hippo. She also got a phone, that counts and sings songs, one of those see and says that points to the animal and makes a sound, a pretty dress, from Grandma Hess. She is so lucky to have her grandparents and be so loved by them.

Another banner I made for Ella, well my Mom made for Ella! She put it all together, she is super!
