Back to the Doctor!

Well Ella has been about 2.5 weeks into a cold...and really the only lingering thing is the cough...so this past Wednesday (it had been 17 days) - I brought her back to the Doctor as we were starting to get concerned about her cough...it actually hasn't been that bad during the day...it's more at night when she just coughs, and coughs, and coughs...needless to say...17 days I have gone without a solid night of sleep...I'm just as ready for this cough to be over! So back we go...and everything is checking out ok...she is starting to get a little fluid built up into her ears...but it was turning into an infection...so the Doctor wrote a prescription for an antibiotic...but wanted me to wait until Sunday before I filled it...so Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat...I tried the other tips she had for me...still a no go...the cough is just as bad...so after church this morning we stopped and filled the RX...and she got her first dose in her this afternoon!

Hasn't been too much of an eventful week...after the Doctors on Wednesday, Ella and I went to Target...I bought a "toy box"....kind of thing...so now things are slightly more organized :)

Friday, Ella and I went to a few different consignment shops...she scored with 5 different things...2 tops, two pairs of pants, and a little jacket...and I am bidding on a bunch of things on eBay...I get into trouble on that site :)

On Monday (Labor Day) - we did go out to lunch...and Ella is learning how to color...her Daddy was helping her...

In the evening we went to Josh's co-workers house...he had been smoking pork for 18 hours in his "smoker"....so they opened up their home to about 20 people...to all come and have some pork...it was very good! And Ella did great...I thought she might be really shy...but no...not at all! :)

This week...Ella spilled some water...and on her own she walked over to the drawer with the dish towels, pulled one out on her own, walked over to her water...and "cleaned up"...

Such a good girl!

I had nursery today...so I got to join in with Ella...they have a new toy...little boats that you can sit in...she may not like real boats...but she had a great time in this one...

This afternoon we went to our friends church as they were having an event, a circus, and games, food, etc...
Ella pointed to every animal and said, "doggie"....that's her new favorite word...it used to be shoe (she still likes that one)...but now when she wakes up...she immediately is looking for those doggies!
