Party Girl!

Ella went to her first birthday party yesterday! She had been invited to one in October...but she was unable to attend due to her nasty cold that she had...so yesterday it was her first birthday party! It was a party for our friends little girl, Kayla...she was turning 2. There were lots of kids there all running around having a good time...now of course Ella wasn't running around (yet...that will come soon enough!) but she did enjoy watching all those kids! She kept her eyes on them the entire time just watching away!

We came home and she slept for a little over 2 hours! She woke up...it was time to eat...and a few minutes of play time...and it was round 2! Another birthday party! This one was for one of our friends...we had a big group- 18 of us that went to LaCarreta (a well-known Mexixan restaurant in the Lynchburg area)...Ella did great...she had toys to play with...we brought a bottle as it would be dinner time for her in the middle of dinner...so she did well until the waiters came out singing, and playing whatever instrument it was...and they were popping something...whatever it was it was loud! They popped 4 or 5 of them...and Ella had an absolute meltdown...she calmed down quickly...but it was loud and it scared her pretty good! About 20 minutes pass...and then I hear the waiters coming out again and this time headed to a different table behind us...I had Ella already in my arms...so I stood up and made a quick exit and waited out in the lobby until they were done :) I was glad I did that...we didn't need another meltdown! :)

Josh had tomorrow off so he gets to watch the little girl! He's got a few errands he has to run for work...and said it was fine that Ella was with him....so they will be hanging out together tomorrow!

I've got to start taking more pictures...Ella has had on quite a few cute outfits...a personal favorite of mine are her tights with the shoes...it looks like she is wearing shoes but it is actually the tights that have an image of shoes on them...so they look like little mary janes! Josh doesn't like them....but his only reasoning is that it's hard to put them on her because she is such a wiggleworm...which I guess could be true!
