Easily Excitable These Days

These days, Ella is eager to show us when she is excited, which is quite often.  First, she starts by rapidly moving her legs and arms simultaneously up and down.  While doing this, a big smile will form followed by several "panting like" sounds.  I don't know how else to describe the sound other than saying that it sounds like Mac and Bailey panting when they get happy.  John asked me the other day if I thought maybe Ella picked it up from them.  She does observe them on a daily basis so maybe she is attempting to imitate them.  Who knows!
