Ella had become that inquisitive toddler. She is always asking "what is that?" or her favorite "what does that word mean? Tell me about it." (Incidentally, Daniel got a dictionary app on his phone recently. This is not a coincidence.)
She is also starting to make astute connections. One day Daniel was wiggling his fingers to go tickle her, and she said,"No Spider, I'm not a spout!"
She also loves to be silly and insert one of her favorite nonsense words in place of words in stories or songs. One of her favorite replacements is "ham"
One day we were talking about being a helper and she piped in,"I'm a helper, mostly!" We smiled because that is a pretty apt description.
Our favorite is, what we've dubbed, her super hero/tv catch phrase: "I can do it. No problem."

Flower Pot Project
I got a great idea, and for once it wasn't from Pinterest! A house on the way to church had a brilliant idea. House numbers on flower pots! My poor friend heard about my "pot project" for much longer than they'd have liked, but our pots turned out looking great.
Now, to keep the plants in them alive...

New (to us) dresser
Sometimes when you are pregnant you get obsessed with crazy details. This month's crazy thing was a dresser or changing table. I'd been scouring Craigslist, Goodwill, and even Ikea trying to find something that would work.
Finally a $25 gem was located on Craigslist. It needed a shelf and new knobs, but that was doable.
Side note: if I had a reality show, there would have to be a montage of me swearing something will totally fit in my hatchback and then Daniel finding a way to get it home.
Other side note: This reality show would also have lots of episodes of me coming up with ridiculous but awesome ideas and Daniel to executing them. Like buying $25 dressers and putting a shelf in where broken drawer used to be.
