We had a fun, relaxing weekend! We have been super busy the past 3 weekends and it was so nice to have a quiet weekend at home with lots of family time. On Friday, her
actual birthday, Ella and I spent the morning at the pool and then went to her favorite place for lunch, Chick-
fila! Who doesn't love Chick-
fila nuggets??

Always cautious in the beginning feeling things out!

She was fascinated by the sprinkler and was thinking about drinking it and then...

Ella likes to steal the toys from the other kids at the pool and yes we do have our own but of course, she stole a bucket from another little girl. So, today I went out and got a new bucket and shovel for the pool and our upcoming beach trip.

Having so much fun at the pool, what a fun way to start out the day!

In the evening, we went to the church up the street. They had a music camp for all the 3-5 year
olds and so that night, they were having a picnic dinner and then the kids all sang. They were so cute!

And Ella loved playing with all the kids and "trying" to walk with friends!

Ella LOVES music so she loved watching them sing and would clap and dance along with them.

Who is a rock star? This girl! We got these glasses as party favors and Ella loves playing with them and actually kept them on for a little bit.

It was so hot again so we brought out one of her new birthday gifts, the water table and had lots of fun
splashing around and cooling down.

Finally, back to walking, Ella has been standing up on her own (not pulling up on anything) a lot lately and once she learns she can take a step, she will be gone. But right now, she is still very cautious and hasn't gained that confidence yet but I know it won't be long!

Bye everyone! Hope you had a good weekend because we sure had fun!! More videos to come soon!
That water table looks incredible. Someone awesome must have given it to her.
