Bella Dancerella

Ella just started ballet at the rec center, and she is in heaven. (Ballerinas are right next to Princesses in our book!) She has always loved to dance, so I was excited for her to start too. Unfortunately, I think she spends more time leading the other ballerinas astray then listening to the instructor, but she is having a lot of fun. She loves how twirly her ballet clothes are. We are having a Primary Talent Show tonight, and Ella is dancing to "A Whole New World" in her Jasmine outfit. She is very excited to show off her new ballet moves. If I ever figure out how to download videos from my new camera, I will make sure to post it. :)

Happy Birthday Moose!

On Tuesday our little girl had her first birthday! This year went by so fast. She has taken a couple of steps and we are just waiting for the day when she will be off running. She loves to dance. If she hears music, she stops whatever she is doing to give us a little dance. She says 'mama', 'dada', 'ella', and waves and says 'duh-duh' whenever someone leaves. She still loves to shove everything in her mouth. But if I catch her all I have to do is stick out my hand and say "Molly..." and she pulls it out of her mouth and puts it in my hand. Her favorite thing is water. She is constantly trying to follow Ella into the bathroom so that she can splash in the toilet. Yuck! She LOVES bathtime. We took the girls to the museum for her birthday and they had a water table. She was in heaven. She is such a joy, and we are so grateful to have her in our family. Happy birthday Molly. We love you!!
