What is she up to now?

I realized we haven't posted anything lately about what Ella is doing. For those of you who are not Grandparents, this will not be a very exciting post, so feel free to skip it!
In the last couple of weeks, her vocabulary has grown by leaps and bounds. We've felt a little guilty that we haven't read to her as much as it seemed that we read to Max, but now, I don't think we have anything to worry about.
She pats Zooey on the head and says "dog dog" - actually, it's kind of hard to tell if she's saying "dog dog" or "woof woof", but either way, she makes the same sound each time she sees a dog. She also makes a monkey sound when you say the word "monkey", says "sheep" and "baaa" (which sounds a lot like laughing -very cute), duck, and will say "moo" anytime she sees a cow.

She says "shoe", "sock" and "sit". Bows for her hair are "pretty", and of course she is really good at saying "Mama", "Daddy" and "Bubba". She has also started to say "milk" and is making the sign for it, as well as saying and signing "more" and "eat".

Ella also now knows herself in the mirror - this weekend she pointed and said "Ella" (it really sounds more like "Eya".
