Friday evening we went out to dinner...just to Jersey Mike's and split a sandwich. Then we went to Sweet Frog for a sweet little treat (it's frozen yougurt with about 50 different toppings to choose from)...it was our family date night! Someday Ella will like family date night...now she's just along for the ride :)
Saturday it was more beautiful weather...Josh did some outside projects while Ella and I went to a baby shower.
Again today - just perfect outside! Today was Baby Dedication at our church. So we got Ella all dressed up looking cute...and my parents were coming over for the service and to our house for lunch afterwards. So we get to church and Ella was a little antsy so I'm holding her trying to entertain her before they call up all the parents with babies who are participating in the service. She stays entertained for a few minutes. Then we are called up...and she starts crying. Her whimpering subsides and there is a few minutes of silence...then the WAILS begin! My little quiet mellow girl is wailing at the top of her lungs in front of the whole church (yes I was squirming big time!)...I whispered to Josh that I was taking her out...he said no no it's ok...she's fine...then I don't even know how it was possible...those wails got louder...that's it she's out of there...so yes Ella made a scene :) I'm sure it won't be the last time! Here's a picture before the wails began:
So I take her out...and lay her down on the nursery floor...immediately stops crying. Now she wasn't all smiles or anything...but she was MUCH happier! So I left her in the nursery and I went back to church...she fell asleep with one of the girls holding her in the nursery...and after church I went and got her and she was still asleep...never even opened her eyes while I got her buckled in the carseat and then slept all the way home.
We grilled for lunch. And Ella got lots of "presents" from Grandma and Grandpa....her wardrobe is just about complete for Fall/Winter. Lots of great outfits and even a little winter coat (which matches her "mushroom" hat perfectly!) Grandma and Grandpa left and Ella went down for another nap...after an hour and a half, I went and woke her up...I was ready to go out for a walk! So we all got ready (Bella and Brinly too!) and off we went for a nice walk! When we got back...I was saying how nice it was outside and that I didn't want to go back in...Josh said well lets open up the windows and the doors going out to the deck...so we did! We had the windows all open and the door open...it was so beautiful! Ella had her bath and then she sat in her boppy and played with her toys and "talked" quite a bit! Now she's fed and tucked away in bed (which she was asleep in about 2 minutes flat!)
Hard to believe tomorrow is already Monday again! The weekend flew by!
