Ella is 16 months old today!

Ella has been keeping us on our toes lately. It seems like she is always getting into some sort of mischief, and it makes me realize that it is absolutely impossible to completely "baby-proof" a house.
This morning she pulled the pin from the hinge on her closet door, and also was obsessed with digging in the wastebasket in the bathroom. Maybe we need to get her a few new toys to distract her.We did get a little table and chair set for her, and she has been coloring with crayons. She has a very clear preference for the yellow and green crayons, and is always holding on to the same three all at once.
She has also learned about stickers, and loves to put them just about any, and everywhere.
We find little stickers of puppies and kittens in the most bizarre places.
The other day, poor Griffin had one stuck in his paw fur, and Ella was desperately trying to get it out. He patiently waited for her - he's so tolerant.
Ella has been trying to mimic a lot of her words, and sometimes she'll say a word so clearly, but then, she won't be able to repeat it again. She does like to make animal sounds, and can identify many animals, and make her best effort at their animal noise. She particularly loves quacking like a duck, and barking like a dog.
