Miss Boo Turns Two

 Our sweet baby Ella Boo turned two last Saturday.  We celebrated with balloons and singing when she woke up, a trip to the doughnut shop for breakfast, and had family over for a celebration dinner.  We are having a birthday party for her and Griffin later in February.  Ella loved being the center of attention all day and was so happy every time someone sang to her.
We can't believe our little girl is already two.  She is such a happy, sweet, spunky, loud, silly, cuddly, hilarious, toddler.  Her favorite person in this world is probably Griffin, aka "Bubba", with Daddy in close second.  Don't get me wrong, she loves her momma too!  She has brought SO much joy and laughter to our family.  Ella can be quite entertaining and keeps us laughing constantly.
Recently she has really started talking, I think taking her paci away two weeks ago helped!  She has the cutest little voice and loves using her words to express herself.  The girl can SCREAM, when she's happy or sad, and believe me she knows how to throw a tantrum.  However, she gets over it quickly and is overall so happy.  Ella loves her friends and has started wanting to hold everyones hand...so cute!
She had her 2 year well check with Dr. K today and everything was just perfect.  Ella actually loves when the doctor comes in and was very social with her.  She had to get one HEP booster and didn't shed a single tear.  Such a tough little trooper!
Here are her two year stats:
Height- 34.75" (74%)- I was shocked by this, I always think she's so small :)
Weight- 27.25 lbs (59%)
Head- 19.5" (92%) we have big brains in our family...hehe
We love you sweet sweet Ella Kay.  The world just wouldn't be as bright without your sparkle!    

Loved opening her presents...thanks for the book Aunt Lane!

Playing with her color peg board

 She LOVES her jumbo jungle animals and insists on taking ALL four of them everywhere we go!

 These two play so well together

 I LOVE this picture because it's SO Ella!  This was at the end of the night and she was plopped in the middle of all her gifts with her silly helmet on...happy as a clam.  

 CHEEEESE

 Plenty of help with the candles

 Chugger loved all the action

 I made Cousin Jack his own cupcakes (he's allergic to wheat, dairy, eggs, nuts) and he LOVED it!  We were all so happy to see him enjoy something so much!

Crazy birthday girl
