New Picture...

She smiled for me today!!

 

She was such a sleepy goose today! Maybe due to the shot yesterday? Or maybe a growth spurt? She was up at 6:15 when Josh came home...he got her up and fed her while I stumbled up the stairs (it should really be illegal to be up before the sun is up!) Normally she goes down for a nap between 9:30-10:00 - but she was such a grouch around 8:30...I thought hmmm I'm just going to try a nap...and sure enough that was what she wanted...never even made a peep when I laid her down. She slept for 1 1/2 hours...and yes...I also went back to sleep! I felt like it was 2am - I had zero energy...I slept for about 45 minutes...just the power nap I needed! So once she was up...she had a bottle and we both got ready and went grocery shopping! I really don't like running errands with Ella...well I don't mind if Josh is with me...then he can lug around that car seat - it's so heavy! I even had a man comment on that as I was struggling to lift the car seat up to put it into the cart...he asked how old she was...I told him...and he said that he had a 3 month old little girl at home...and he said I bet that car seat just keeps getting heavier and heavier...Ha - that was obvious! But I did it...and around the grocery store we went...and then we headed home. I brought Ella in first...and then went out and got all the groceries...I let the dogs out...and I opened the door to let them back in and it was snowing like crazy...came out of nowhere! It's reallllly cold and windy here today....yuck! 

It was lunch time by this point...so Ella got to have "Thanksgiving" - it was Turkey/Apples/Cranberries....she loved it! We played some more...she had her bottle and 2nd nap time...this time she slept for 2 hours and I went and woke her up finally at 4....she would have kept on sleeping! She got up and Josh was up by now...so she went right to him and they played for a while. She was being quite talkative...and even threw in a few "dada's." Josh left for work and Ella and I continued playtime, then bath time, then dinner time, then play time, then bottle time, then bedtime! Whew - I'm tired out! Since it's just me tonight...I'm watching a chick flick!! I never get to watch a chick flick since Josh does not like them (I shouldn't say never - every once in a great while he watches one with me!) but not often! One of my friends at work lent me one...so the "girls" (Bella and Brinly) and I are going to snuggle up on the couch and watch our movie!
