Ella's 2nd Birthday

I am a bit delinquent. So far I have failed miserably not only at writing in my blog on a more frequent basis, but I am also posting things that have happened almost a month ago. Ah well, time seems to tick on so fast.

Ella had her second birthday on January 30th. Two years is such a brief span of time and yet it seems amazing to me that I already have a two year old. Me!! Someone who could hardly fathom the thought of even having a child, much less caring for them and having them survive to be a year old. For some reason, it just seemed so foreign and impossible and yet here we are, two years later, alive and well. So, every year on her birthday, not only do I celebrate her, but I also celebrate myself (inwardly of course). Seeing her grow and thrive gives me a great sense of accomplishment! Ah yes, and grow she has. It amazes me how someone can go from being incapable of doing anything to being a completely functioning little person that can walk, talk, use the potty and feed themselves within such a short span of time. She is wonderful though!

Due to some problems with the weather, we had two parties for Ella. The first was with my parents and the second was with two of her little friends. We did a Yo Gabba Gabba theme which seemed to suite her well.
