Ella!

This week Ella has been pulling herself up into a standing position, and generally showing some interest in walking. She has also got better at colours. Her favourite colour seems to be yellow ("yeh-lah") but she is still not sure what to call red. Sometimes it is called "rah" and other times she says "bih". Other new words include "yeah" (yes), "bah" (book, among many other meanings) and "lah" (light, or lampshade). Ella has spent the week playing in her paddling pool, making police-car noises, and drinking frappuccino through a straw. And through the wonder of digital video, here are some video clips showing Ella's mad shuffle, and Ella being pushed around in her car-car.
