Ella's gifts were wrapped and neatly placed on her high chair along with a mylar balloon (that she loved - and clearly we could have saved money and just bought her the balloon.) With a little help from Mom and Dad, Ella unwrapped her first toddler push & ride car! After finishing our morning routine, it was off to Lubeley's bakery to pick up cookies for daycare and for mom and dad's workplaces. When Ella arrived at daycare, she was greeted with cheery happy birthday from her caregivers.
After work, Mom picked up Ella and brought her home. Now it was time for a second present - a Mizzou cheerleading outfit. Go Tigers! Next, the momentus cake smashing. While a little timid at first, Ella managed to get a few good handfuls of icing and licked chunks of icing from her mini cake. Once she realized how delicious sugar tasted, she quickly caught on to the cause and effect of digging into the cake and moving the hands to her mouth. Just a few minutes into it, Mom and Dad realized that perhaps feeding her dinner first would have been a wise idea.
Mom, Dad and Ella spent the rest of the evening playing and recording Ella with the video camera. What an amazing 365 days.
Ella's stats:
Weight, 17.5 pounds.
Length, 27 inches.
Age, 1 year.
Beautiful and perfect in every way.
