The last time I wrote was on Monday night...so Tuesday our day was exactly the same. I went to work, picked Ella up at 5...came home and we did our routine. Josh worked Tuesday night.
Wednesday - it was a cold RAINY day...I had errands that I could have gone out and done...but it was hovering around 38 degrees all day and rain, rain, rain! No thank you - we'll stay inside and save those errands for another day!
Thursday - out the door by 7:30...and I worked until 7pm. Josh had Thursday off...so he picked Ella up on Thursday afternoon after he got up, etc. I came home and she was already in bed. Josh had called and asked me to pick up some medicine on my way home...cold medicine as he wasn't feeling well...the sleep schedule has definitely caused him to be a little run down...so he's been taking daily vitamins and now some cold medicine.
Friday = Fun Day! As usual - we were up early! Around 10am Ella and I left the house to go meet Grandma in Lynchburg! They were having the Murano worked on...and it was going to take a few hours...so we had a girls day! First we went to Once Upon a Child....I brought some of Ella's clothes to consign. I bought a really cute outfit there for her. It's a bright pink shirt with a little white jean skirt...both are brand new with Old Navy Tags - I got it for $5.50 - what a deal! Retail it was $20! I love a bargain! :) So from there - we went to Sweet Pea's (another childrens consignment shop) - we didn't score any bargains there - but had fun looking around. Then we decided it was lunch time...so we went to O'Charley's for lunch. Everyone that walked by Ella had to comment on her eyes...and how cute she is! :) She was such a good girl at lunch - as happy as could be! Smiling and laughing at everything! After lunch we went to Target and spent a while walking around. I had the hardest time...they had all these great clothes that were on HUGE clearance (Christmas/Holiday/Winter clothes) - and I really wanted to buy a few things...but I just didn't dare...I have no idea how Ella will continue with her growing. If she hits a growth spurt she may catch up in size...right now she currently is wearing 3-6 months in quite a few things and straight 6 months in other items...I am getting ready this week to start introducing 6-9 month this week...and she's almost 8 months old! She's just petite! So I bypassed all the great deals :( But she did get new socks! :) Oh and of course Grandma went a little crazy on eBay and Ella made out all right with quite a few new outfits off of that! :) She'll be a walking model for Carters/Gymboree/Childrens Place! After Target - we headed back to Nissan as their car was done and it was mid-afternoon. Josh was awake and Ella and I wanted to get home to see him for a bit before he was gone again. We made our way home and showed off all of our goodies when we got home! Josh took Ella and snuggled up with her on the couch...while I did a few housework things...Poor little Ella...one thing I did was I brought out the vacuum to do the rug in the living room...which Ella has seen me do many times...but I turned on the vacuum and she wasn't expecting it...poor little thing jumped a mile and burst into tears...and then her Daddy rescued her! :) Around 5 - Josh headed off to work. And Ella and I did our night routine again. After she went to bed...I started taking pictures of all kinds of things that I wanted to sell on eBay (I was inspired after seeing Ella's new wardrobe!) - so I went through a good portion of clothes that she has outgrown...and set aside all the one's that I couldn't part with :) And started snapping pictures...I stayed up late listing all my items...up until 11pm!
Saturday - Ella wakes up at 4:40am...are you playing tricks with mom Ella?? I get up - change her, give her a bottle, and lay her back down. Thankfully she goes to sleep without a problem! It took me a bit but I was able to fall back asleep and not to much later Josh comes home. So Ella hears the noise and I am up again...thankfully for Christmas we got a big supply of coffee - I was drinking it this morning! :) We did our best to stay quiet - mostly playing in the living room. We read for a while in Ella's room. She took a few cat naps. This afternoon before Josh went to work...I was putting her swing away. She hasn't used it in a while - so I was making space in her closet and I brought out another toy that she hasn't played with before. She is "borrowing" it for the time being from her cousins in NY - it's a little "rocking horse"....
Josh stayed knelt down beside her to make sure she wouldn't fall...but she had fun on it! She would have kept playing except I picked her up as Josh was getting ready to leave.
After he left it was dinner time for Miss Ella - she had Sweet Potatoes and Chicken (Earth's Best) - I just love their combo's and Ella really likes it. Then we did bath time. And then Ella got to get into a special pair of PJ's that Grandpa O'Bryan picked out just for her....
She was pretty sleepy - I worked hard to get some smiles out of her...it wasn't happening! She had a few minutes of playtime, a bottle and then bed...
