On Friday - Josh and I were both off...so we just had a family day at home hanging out!
Saturday we went out and ran a bunch of errands...including the grocery store (one of my least favorite places to go!) - and I decided to try something new for Ella's meals...some yogurt! As soon as we got home it was lunch time for her....so I gave her the regular lunch she eats...and she ate it all up...so then I introduced her to her first bite of Yo Baby Organic yogurt (Blueberry) - the first bite was awful (so said the look on her face) - the second bite not so bad, and by the third bite...this stuff is A-Ok! She only got a few bites as I wanted to see how this did with her stomach...but she did well with it. At dinner, once she finished eating her dinner...I thought well I will give her a few more bites of yogurt...so I brought it out of the fridge - and gave her a bite - she looked at me and spit it out...I thought hmmm that's weird...so I tried it again....still didn't like it. I couldn't figure out what it was...then I thought...I bet because it's cold! She doesn't eat anything cold - it all is always heated up...now yogurt wouldn't taste good warm....but when she ate it at lunch it was probably pretty close to room temperature as we had been out...so I stuck a little bit in the microwave for 5 seconds...tried it again....and no problems - ate it right up!
Sunday I woke up at 6:30am to Ella coughing....hmmmm...and it just went downhill from there....slight fever, runny nose, and a nasty cough! So we stayed home and went to church from our living room...we actually tuned in to Josh's dads church in Vermont...we could Live Stream it online...so that was pretty cool. So our Sunday we laid low...Ella was sick...and oh yeah...it was snowing like crazy! We ended up with 7 inches or so! Here is Ella "watching" Veggie Tales with her dad....
So as Sunday night progresses and little Ella starts sounding worse...I notify my managers at work and tell them that I am not going to be able to come in on Monday as Ella is sick and is unable to go to the sitters. Poor little thing is so miserable!! All day Monday I only got a handful of smiles...one time she looked at me...the lower lip came out and she just burst into tears...so sad! I tried really hard to get some "mama's" out of her...and you know what...she didn't say it once...only "dada"....I couldn't believe it...she would look right at me and say, "dada"....I think she was doing it on purpose! :)
Here are a few of Ella's eBay purchases (well mom's purchases for Ella)...
Today - Grandma came over to watch Ella so Josh and I could both go to work...Ella did OK...still had a pretty rough day...just so stuffy, etc. I gave her a bath tonight...she kicked and kicked her legs...I'm pretty sure I had more water on me than what was in her tub!! She became a little happier after her bath - chatting away....still only saying "dada" might I add!
Josh came home all happy tonight....he came home with a "written commendation" from his Supervisor, which will go into his file...not too bad for still being in training!!
Well it is 10:00 and I am exhausted...Ella was up about every 1.5 hours last night coughing...which woke me up and then I had to check on her...so I am ready for some good sleep...she's been sleeping for 3 hours and hasn't woken up yet!
