Ella has got her routine down pat...almost always asleep between 7:30-8:30...if I am able to wake her up at 10-11ish I will to give her a little "snack" - and then no matter what time she went to bed....always about 4-4:30 she's up to eat, back down for a little bit, and then up for the day between 7-7:30. So not too bad...I know what to expect now...which is better than trying to figure out what her routine is going to be...it gets mixed up a little bit on days that I go into work early...but that's ok...we just work around it.
Yesterday we didn't have any plans...so we lounged around for a bit...Ella was the most talkative she has ever been...and why I didn't get a video of it...I don't know....but I promise I will very soon! We had quite a full bed, the two of us, Ella, and the two dogs! And Ella just talked and talked...she loves having something to put her feet against and push..so Josh put his arm out so she could just push and kick against his arm...all while talking...she did this for about an hour straight...a little motormouth she was! :)
Today was our long nap day...on Sundays she doesn't get a very long nap in the morning because we are at church...so she gets just a mini cat nap...so always on Sunday afternoon she takes a good 3 hour nap...so Ella napped in her swing, I was on one couch sleeping with Brinly, and Josh and Bella were sleeping on the other couch...but Ella was the one that took the 3 hour nap...Josh and I didn't!
We've been working on getting Ella to hold her head up...she still is a bit of a "bobble-head!" - so she got lots of neck exercises this weekend...she's getting really good coordination with her toys...and has learned to bring things up to her mouth to try and put it in her mouth...yuck!
I've been doing my research about making baby food...and have been bidding on a few items on eBay that I would like to have for that project :)
That's been our week in a nutshell...Mom, Ella, and I are making the 12 hour trek up to Vermont this week providing the weather is ok...I'm very nervous about this adventure with a baby and such a long drive! But Ella has lots of people anxious to meet her! Then the following week Ella and I will be spending the week at the lake while Josh is out of town for training. Then September will be practically over!
