How big is Ella? So big!

It's been a while since I have given an Ella update, so here's a running list of everything we've been excited to see her do over the past couple of months.

When you ask her how big she is, she puts her hands up in the air
When you ask her how old she is, she holds up 1 finger
She claps when you tell her to
She gives you a kiss when you ask for one
She signs "more" and "all done" and one time, I swear she did "eat"
She imitates hand gestures when you do songs such as Paddy Cake or Wheels on the Bus
She dances when she hears music
She says "dog", "dada" and "mama" spontaneoulsy, and a lot of other words in imitation
She knows "duck" and when you ask her what a duck says, she says "quack"
She loves cruising and can get anywhere as long as she can hold on to something, even if it's with one hand
She can go up and down the stairs all by herself, which is a huge relief for us
She can take one step towards us before she collapses to the floor (doesn't seem too interested in walking)
She can stand up all by herself for about 10-15 seconds
She walks pretty confidently behind a push cart and the other day, I got her to walk with it to the entrance of our culdesac and back. She loved it! Our neighbor Jane tried to get her to let go by asking her how big she was, but she pulled a one hander on us :)

We are so proud of our big girl.
