Happy First Birthday Ella

Constructor's Note
Last year, when my granddaughter was born, I constructed a puzzle welcoming her to the world. She just turned one, so another puzzle is in order! I plan to construct a puzzle each year for her birthday with clues and answers relating to her. Happy birthday, Ella!

            Nice! Though technically, 13D is a bit wrong. The object is correct but the song is called Rubber Ducky, not Rubber Duck so having both in the clue is a bit confusing. :)

              You are quite correct. Her favorite song actually is (Do De) Rubber Duck, which is a different from Rubbery Ducky; it's actually a really cute reggae version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc5T06SsnkA&ab_channel=mstatz

                Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Ella. I've relayed them on and she waves hi (or bye; it's hard to tell) in greeting.
