Perfecting her bridge
Learning to use the springboard for the vault
And what has Ella been up to? Eating with utensils and hiding in cabinets! Oh, and emptying the cabinets out first so she can fit in them!

Lauren started gymnastics in September, and she is really doing well. It is her first structured class and it is really neat to see her listen to the instructor and follow directions. The instructor expects a lot from these 2-3 year olds: this week we did two different flips on the high bar, started doing two-footed jumps on the balance beam, and attempted jumps with her knees tucked and then sticking the landing with their arms up.... yeah, it sounds easy, but two year olds like to land with their arms down on the mat to break their fall!

We had Ella's birthday party with the McNamara family last Saturday, and she definitely has this party thing figured out! She knew that the presents were for her and did a good job unwrapping. She also has the cake figured out, and wasted no time digging in this time around! Thank you to everyone, she has a lot of new toys- and I didn't think they made anything that doesn't already exist in my living room!

Somehow the time has come, my baby girl is already one. We celebrated Ella's birthday with Dan's family on Saturday, and she adored all of the attention. She had fun opening presents and devoured her cupcake. We will be celebrating again tonight with just the four of us, and Lauren cannot wait to give Ella the presents she picked out for her.
