  This past week, Ella perfected her ability to clap and today she began to sing! Well, it's more like her usual stream of babbles became melodic instead of their previous monotone. We're very proud. If she follows in the developmental footsteps of her brother Aidan and cousin Sean, banging her head against walls is next! Don't worry, it's a normal response to suddenly realizing one has rhythm. It tells of our family's long musical tradition.
