Yesterday Ella, Josh and I went on an outing...well it was just errands...but Ella did great...we had to go to the Dry Cleaners, Target, TJ Maxx and Kroger...I thought maybe by the end she would be sick of sitting in the car seat...but she did fantastic with her toys that we brought and as we were walking through Kroger she even fell asleep! Speaking of sleep...she's going through a little phase that just started this weekend that she has an absolute meltdown everytime I lay her down in her crib either for bed or for a nap...she CRIES and CRIES and gets herself so worked up she starts "choking"/coughing. So last night she held her breath and then let out this huge cry...it broke my heart...it's worse than the cry at the Doctors after shots...so I told Josh I am rocking her to sleep! I know that is supposed to be a no-no...but I have only done it once since she's been born...so I scooped her up and sat in the rocking chair holding her...and sure enough...after about 15 minutes she was out....her eyes did flutter open when I laid her down and she looked at me and whimpered...but then closed them and went right to sleep. She did it again this afternoon when it was nap time...this time I just let her cry it out...it didn't last too long and it was a whimper...Josh went in to check on her and she was asleep...and this was how she looked...
Her face wasn't covered (that was my first thought as he showed me the picture)...but she did have that little birds feather stuffed right in her mouth...which brings me to the next thing....anything and everything she can get her hands on....it goes directly to her mouth...her favorite being the remotes and cell phones...although she is NOT allowed to put those into her mouth...she can touch them...but they get taken away before they go in...we really encourage her toys instead! :)
Yesterday was her first "scoot." Josh had her on her belly...and she wanted so badly to go forward...so he put her feet against his chest so she could push off of him...and she did! She certainly didn't go far...but she did make it forward!
Ella got a package in the mail from her Nanny from Vermont...with a few pretty dresses...she wore one today for church...its a cute sweater dress and she had on little black tights under it...Josh took a picture of us before we left for church this morning...and as usual...Ella didn't smile! (I promise she is a happy baby and smiles a lot..just not in front of a camera...clearly she didn't get that from me!)
