What day is it?? My days are beginning to run together! Let's see...Monday was a good day...Ella went down for the night on Sunday night at 9:30 and slept all the way until 6am! Those nights are always my favorite...and it was the first night in months and months that I actually slept through the entire night without waking up once! Josh and I both worked and Ella was at the sitter's for the day...although she came home in a different outfit...it was not the one she arrived there in...glad she was at the sitter's for that one ;)

Tuesday morning...ehh a different story...Ella was up at 4:48am and ready to eat...no problem...she eats and goes right back to sleep...when I get woken up at that hour...I rarely can go back to sleep...so I laid in bed hoping to fall asleep...which never happened...that was a, "stop and get coffee on my way to work" morning :) I picked Ella up after work...normally Josh picks her up every night but he has night training for a few days this week...so I was on duty...we came home and she was all smiles....

 

However that didn't last for very long...she was super fussy...the fussiest she has ever been...I did everything I could think of...she had multiple diaper changes, a new outfit put on, we sang every song that I knew, played with every toy we own, went in the swing, walked around, ate...she would be happy for 5 minutes...then get fussy...over and over...finally at 8:30 my patience was worn out and I thought...I'm sure she must be ready for bed...my plan was to rock her in the dark room with hopes that would make her sleepy and put her right out! Well we go downstairs and as I am holding her getting ready to sit in the rocking chair...she spits up...and I won't go into details....but eeewwww....so that was what had her so cranky...I quickly laid her down on our bed...so I could peel my soaked t-shirt off...after spitting up...she was instantly happy...I rocked her for a few minutes (which she didn't really need - she was out within 30 seconds!) and put her to bed...which I then also went to bed!

Wednesday morning was a repeat...up at 5am...however I was able to fall back asleep this time...until 7 at least :) Grandma and Grandpa O'Bryan came over for a visit...so that was exciting! Ella had a bath today...bath time really isn't her favorite...every time I put her in the bath tub...she just gives me this look of, "what are you doing mom??" She just stares up at me puzzled....but the minute she is out of that tub and in her towel...she just grins and grins!

 

Ella spent her afternoon napping, and we read lots of books, she helped Mommy fold laundry and do some organization, and we played with toys...we had a busy afternoon :)

This is Ella in her new PJ's and playing with her favorite...Katie the Caterpillar!
