I know it's been a long time. but i'm back. Ella Steve and Shadow are doing great!
Ella is Walking and Talking and Signing! She's Signing "more", " all done", "eat" "please" and
" Thank You" Although her thank you is sometimes more like she's blowing kisses. but we know what it means and it's so cute!

Ella and Shadow are the best of friends. She loves getting him toys and he like following her around the house. especially when she's carrying food. what a smart dog right?

This past week we've been really working hard at giving Ella her pacifier only at naptime and bedtime. So, on Tuesday when I gave Ella her pacifier to settler her down for naptime she had a huge smile on her face and did a 180. She marched right to her room for naptime and stood infront of her crib. I was Floored! She did the same for bedtime and for bedtime the next night as well. we also found out she's doing it at daycare too! I couldn't believe it. I hope this keeps going it's been great. so, we'll see what next week brings for us.
