Long Week!

So I have decided...juggling work, an almost 15 month old, and 2 chihuahua's all by myself for a week is a lot of work! A LOT of work! :) Thankfully we had a decent routine down...of course it meant that I had to get up at 5:30 every morning to make sure I was completely ready before Ella woke up...because once she wakes up...the girl is on the move!!

Things we did while I wasn't working...hung out around the house :) Taking Ella anywhere right now is hard...she wants to be walking by herself...so we hung out at home...and things Ella has learned this week...

She learned how to play with Lego's...

She had lots of fun with those...especially if I would build something and she could knock it over.

Ella found a cabinet that she can open and climb into...it's one of our smaller kitchen cabinets that doesn't have anything in it...it's right on the end so I can't keep it closed with a tie...so she can climb right into! She has discovered that she can climb the ramp that Josh built for Bella (to get up on the couch)...which she has gotten a little swat for climbing it...tonight I had to pick it up so she wouldn't go near it as she was choosing to ignore my "NO!"

Ella learned the word "shoe" today...it's so cute to hear her say it...she picked up a shoe this morning and said..."sshhhh shhhh ooooo"....quite cute :) She now says "bye" when waving good-bye.

Josh came home Friday night at 7pm...and was gone again on Saturday morning by 4:45am...wow! Now he's off to MotoGP in Indy this weekend. So Ella and I decided to go to the lake for the day. We hung out with Grandma...did some shopping...and then Grandpa was home from work...played for another hour...and then we were on our way home...

I think Ella had fun!!

Well time to go get some cleaning in...that only happens after Ella has gone to bed :)
