The days are beginning to blend together! Ella keeps me so busy...from 6:30am-7:00pm that girl is on the go! Let's see...Memorial Day - Josh had to work...so it was Ella and I on our own...we stayed home and kept ourselves busy...we did venture out to Target to get out of the house...Ella needed some new PJ's...she has gotten taller and all those 9 month PJ's were just starting to get a little too tight...so we did what we do best...went shopping! :) After Target, Josh called...he had a little break and we were able to meet for lunch.
Ella had her 1 year check-up on Wednesday...18lbs and 10oz (the Doctor said...well Ella has never been the biggest girl on the block!) and 29.5 inches long...she did have a 3 inch growth spurt since her 9 month appointment...lucky girl...she'll be tall and thin hopefully :) We talked about foods, and milk, etc...what we can give her now that she is a year old...so the possibilities are now endless! She has tried quite a few new things this week...she had some sugar free/fat free chocolate pudding...which she thought was good stuff! She got to try a "snack bar"...which is made by Earth's Best Organics...it's basically like a Nutri-Grain bar...but a kid's version...it was strawberry...that was a little messy as I had to cut it up and she managed to squish a lot of it in her hair :) She has also had some peaches cut up, I mashed a banana up at lunch today...I was having a sweet potato with hummus on it (I got the idea from a co-worker...and it was soooo good) so I mashed a little bit of that up and Ella tried that...she wasn't quite the fan of the sweet potato...it was a different texture than what she was expecting! She had some Sweet Frog frozen yogurt...she has had that before...but I let her have a few more bites than usual!
We went to Romp N Roll yesterday...which she always has fun at. Josh went shooting with a friend yesterday at the Isaac Walton League (a park nearby that he joined which has a shooting range) so Ella and I played at home. Anything she can do standing up is her favorite thing...as long as she can stand up and hold onto something then she is a happy girl!
Today was church...Ella has such a hard time going to the nursery...I think because it is always different people...so she cries and cries and is very serious...doesn't smile or "talk" at all...then as we were walking out to the car and it was just the two of us...she was "talking" up a storm! Must be she saved it all just for me :)
Here she is dancing around one of the kitchen chairs...a favorite of hers!
Often when I go to wake her up...she is sleeping just like a little inchworm...bottom straight up in the air!
