Ella's 3rd pics

Just uploaded Ella's 3rd pics..will do birthday pics later this week when I get around to it. The pics turned out wonderful, Ella looks like a little model. Eva wasn't havin it but the serious ones turned out cute.

Ella's birthday is officially over after her party this weekend. We celebrated all week so we hopefully she won't expect any cake, surprises, or gifts this week or for awhile. We did have a little celebration last weekend with G&G and then Tues. was her official birthday and we went to Chucky Cheeses, which was her 1st time and she loved it. Eva loved the dancing stuffed animals but not if you got too close. :o) Ella had her 3 year Dr. appt. on Wednesday and it went well. She is in the 95 percentile for height and 90th for length. No shots, so that was nice and she was very well behaved probably related to us playing Dr. at home. She likes to play with my stethoscope and blood pressure cuff..so very familiar tools used. The Dr. though was concerned about her speech because she had a hard time understanding her. We will just work with her more and hopefully she will become more clearly and if needed put her in some early educational classes, perhaps speech. Although, after this week she can say her name so much better..so progress made. Her party turned out wonderful and most of her friends made it...it didn't rain all day so we were very pleased. We borrowed a bounce house from a friend so the kids had a great time playing outside. I have been so impressed with Eva lately, at recent functions with lots of kids she usually just plays by herself and is compltely fine with that. I just am an onlooker and go to her if she needs me, which is so nice to do. I can't believe how big she's getting...she will not watch tv anymore, maybe because most of the time its Scooby-Doo for Ella and shes not that into it. Who knows she's a busy girl...exploring! Tonight we did a little shopping and I found Ella a Scooby-Doo shirt and she could not wait to get home and put it on...its a little big so its PJ's now and hopefully when it does fit her she won't like it anymore...it was in the boy section. Not that she can't like anything thats not girlie....I guess! We're all fairly healthy, (girls have colds) and are looking forward to our trip home in the end of May.
