I don't even remember what happened this week!
I last wrote on Monday...Tuesday - I worked all day...picked Ella up and we came home and did our usual night routine. Josh worked Tuesday night.
Oh yes it is coming back to me now...Wednesday morning Josh comes home and says - we need to bring the Jetta to the shop at 8...ugh....why?? Apparently some light keeps coming on - looks like a temperature light (fyi - we just replaced the water pump in it a few months ago...that was a pretty penny) - I wasn't thrilled that it needed to go in again! So off we went. We dropped the Jetta off and then stopped at CVS on the way home to get cold medicine...as now Josh has a cold...at least Ella keeps escaping all these colds...Josh and I just keep passing them back and forth :( We get home and Josh goes to bed....and I keep Ella entertained for the day! We left around 5:30 as Josh got the call the car was ready...went and picked it up...and yay...only needed an oil change and the coolant was low. A bill for $26 is waaaay better than the last $400 one!! Our friends had invited us over for dinner...so life was good...I didn't even have to cook!
Thursday morning was a whirlwind as always...I really do pack everything the night before and leave just the minimum for the next morning...but it always turns into a whirlwind...I guess that is because it is just unpredictable with a baby! I was all ready to go...all I had left to do was wake Ella up and feed her a bottle and get her dressed. Well, I got her up, changed her and got her dressed...then it was bottle time....I think a snail would have passed her...she was taking so long to eat her bottle...I was watching the time tick by...I was running out of minutes! So I took her and put her in her car seat - took a blanket and propped her bottle up so she could drink it while I finished a few last minute things. I scooped her out so I could burp her...then back in she went and out the door we went! I was running 8 minutes behind schedule...and of course...I hit EVERY red light (except 1 - I was keeping track) on the way to the sitters!!! But in the end....I only ended up being 3 minutes late...I am supposed to be at work for 7:40am...and I clocked in at 7:43am...oh yeah...and that is after I tripped in the parking lot...and actually came out of my shoes....what a morning and all before 8am! That pretty much sums up my Thursday!
Which brings us to today...Friday! I decided today that I would take Ella to get a few more of her immunizations. We're still playing catch up from her 6 month shots as I spread them out. On the list was the flu shot - which we denied...so she only had to get 1 shot and 1 oral one. She only had 2 big tears - and 1 loud cry/wail. Then it was over and she got a pretty yellow crayon band-aid :) I was anxious to get out of there...there were kids coughing all over the place...I didn't let Ella touch anything! :) So after the Doctor's...we went to Toy's R' Us. Now if she was older...she would probably be really excited! Her baby food that I use is still on sale there...and it's a pretty good deal...so I wanted to stock up on it! I know...so much for me making my own :( I bought the machine to do it...and haven't done it...the few things I did make she didn't like and wouldn't eat! I am going to try a few things again...of course the meats I am not attempting - but a few of the fruits and veggies I am going to try again. She took a really good nap this afternoon - I got some reading time in! She got up and played this afternoon. She's still doing good at saying "Mama" - she's kind of slowed down on the "Dada" - she makes more MMM and NNN sounds. And often just babbles away! She was pretty whipped this evening...I made her a bedtime bottle...and she barely drank any of it...I tried and tried and she just kept pushing it away...after 20 minutes she finally drank about 3 ounces...and then I gave up...she was done!
I tried to get a few pictures in today...but I just got the stare down....wouldn't even crack half a smile! I'll have to try again tomorrow. Oh she does have a new obsession....feet! Well of course her own feet she is always grabbing...but this afternoon she kept trying to get my foot (which I was wearing socks!)...so I would wiggle it and she thought that was sooooo funny...laughed and laughed and snorted :) She did the same exact thing with Josh. Now it's fine when we are sitting and playing...but at dinner time I put her in her high chair and tried to feed her and she was doing everything she could to look over the side trying to find my feet...which resulted in getting food all over the place...and as you know...I don't like things to get dirty...we went through a lot of paper towels!
Tomorrow our big adventure will be the grocery store! :) And maybe a few loads of laundry!
