I think Ella must be going through a growth spurt - twice this week she has woken up for a 3am feeding...and she had been so good about sleeping through the night...but I am not complaining...it's only happened twice and she is excellent about going right back to sleep! So after she had her 3am feeding last night she went back to sleep and stayed asleep until 6:45ish...then she was ready to rise and shine...we do have a semi-routine down...we're always up between 6:30-7am - it's breakfast time and then she goes into her swing to play with her "friends" - Roosty and Miss Piggy - which is what Josh and I have named them :) She usually falls asleep in her swing after about 45 minutes to an hour...which of course she did this morning..and she took a good nap - about 2 1/2 hours - yay for Mommy! I got lots of cleaning and laundry done during that time. By 11 - I figured she was well rested and I woke her up! She is alllll smiles whenever she wakes up from her naps...I tried to get a couple of pictures...
The first two pictures were in our first set of PJ's...the third picture was before we got our fresh new PJ's on! :) Notice the changing cover has been removed as well :)
Ella did snooze from 12:30-1:45 as well - which yes I did take a quick little 45 minute nap as well :) Then she was up for the rest of the afternoon/evening!
I love when Josh comes home and she hasn't seen him all day - he sets his bags down and comes right over to talk to her. She was sitting next to me on the couch in her boppy lounger and he bends down to talk to her and her feet start kicking, hands flailing, smiles from ear to ear, cooing noises galore - it's so cute!
I noticed today that Ella can really grab onto things and hold them know...all day she wanted to grasp my finger...I would get a few of her little toys out and she would wrap her fingers around them and really hold onto them. It's fun to see them learn new things!
Well Ella is now tucked away into bed...she has a large pack and play that she sleeps in next to our bed. Josh said around 8 - I think I'm going to go to bed now...I was surprised...but the last few days at PT really gave him a work-out and he could barely walk tonight his muscles were so sore. So Ella and her Daddy had the same bed-time tonight! :) Bed time is one of my favorite times - I don't know if I've said this before or not...but I could sit and rock Ella for hours with her all cuddled up in my arms - absolutely one of my favorites!
Well I do believe our weekend adventures won't lead us far - Josh has a 16 page paper to write along with a few other assignments...and it's supposed to be a rainy weekend...maybe tomorrow will be another pajama day?? :)
