Catching Up!

Well last Sunday night was Josh's last "night" for 6 weeks...yay! Ella and I had kind of a long week....I worked Monday - Thursday....looooong days! I worked and Ella went to the sitters. She woke up Wednesday with a cold...but actually seems to just be about over it...which I am hoping that means it's short as it just hit me about an hour ago :(

Josh got a little clip of Ella climbing the stairs (she is getting quite good at it!)

I finally found a little hair clip that Ella doesn't pull out of her hair...I love it! She doesn't even seem to realize it's there...I only bought one to see how she did with it...she did great...so I just bought 3 more!

 

This was early this morning eating breakfast...in style of course! :)

Josh joined Ella and I today (his first time) at Romp N Roll! He got to see Ella in action...she has so much fun there! She sacked out on the way home...

She stayed like this until I finally woke her up to give her a bottle...which she drank and then went back down for a nap and slept some more!

After her nap...she had lunch and then we all went grocery shopping...such a fun family event! :) This afternoon Ella played and played and played! That girls is getting quick! She was everywhere...playing in the living room with daddy and then she was flying into the kitchen to play with me...she was having a blast! I was in the kitchen doing a test run on Ella's birthday cake! We aren't doing a party but instead we are having a photographer come and do some pictures....after we do some family shots we are going to do a "smash the cake" little shoot...so I bought a new Giant Cupcake pan to make a "giant cupcake" to smash...so I wanted to try out the pan to see how it worked...so here is a sample of how it turned out (this isn't how it will really look...just wanted to see how the cake baked, etc)...

Ella was ready for bed early tonight...she went down around 6:45...we were invited to a cook-out but it didn't start until 7...I told Josh to go ahead and I would stay home with Ella....which ended up being good since I just cake down with this cold! I rented a movie, "The Vow"...so it's me and the "pups" hanging out!
