Ella has those few words down that I have mentioned before...Mommy, Daddy, Mama, Doggy, Puppy, Baby...those are the words that she has down pat...
She has a few words that she uses...but it's not really the real word...like after every bottle (she has one in the morning, afternoon, and before bed) - she drinks the whole bottle and then stretches her arm out as far as it goes holding the bottle and says, "daaaa"....which is really "done"...I'll ask her if she is done...to which she nods vigorously that yes she is done.
Saturday - we spent the morning being lazy. I actually made French Toast for Josh and myself...I tried to give Ella a bite...as I actually made a whole piece for her...and she wouldn't even take one bite of it!!! I also made scrambled eggs with cheese in it...which I got about 10 bites into her. I think she may have inherited my picky eating :( She eats a nutra-grain bar every morning...haha although Friday she wouldn't eat it unless it was dipped in peanut butter (maybe she's a bit like her Grandpa O'Bryan who will put peanut butter on anything!) So after our lazy morning...we went and got Josh's hair cut...and then headed out to CenterFest in Bedford where we had made plans to meet up with the Hermosa family! After our adventures there...we went to Josh's all time favorite restaurant (China Super Buffet) - haha....he says he could eat there at least once a week...they have a few "american" foods...like Sweet Potatoes, Mac and Cheese....you know...stuff for my picky eater! So that was what she ate! By the end of the night she was exhausted and immediately fell asleep when we got in the car to head home.
Sunday - we went to church and then went grocery shopping. We came home and Josh grilled for us....he makes these "black and blue burgers" topped with chedder cheese and this time...we even had peppercorn smoked bacon to add to it...I figured...since he was making lunch...he was free to make whatever he wanted...it was very good...it was a late lunch and filling so we skipped dinner. We are going over to a friends house for dinner tomorrow night...and I offered to bring a little dessert...just some cookies...so Ella got introduced to her first batch of "fresh out of the oven" chocolate chip cookies....she took her first bite and went, "mmmmmmm!" And continued to say, "mmmmm" after every single bite! I caught up on laundry today - 5 loads and I finished! I also made my favorite soup (Turkey and Wild Rice) in the crock-pot today. I make a batch of it and stick it in the fridge...and it's my lunch for the week.
So back to the picky eater...thank goodness for goldfish, yogurt, nutra-grain bars, and peanut butter sandwiches....otherwise I don't think Ella would eat! I tried to feed her some of my soup for dinner tonight....which she proceeded to spit out. Then I made a few cheese ravioli's...again...spit out. I was frustrated and said to Josh...well if she's not going to eat any of it...then she will just go to bed without anything....which lasted all of 10 minutes and then I felt bad and couldn't really let her go to bed without anything...she's tiny as it is...she needs her meals...so I gave in and made a peanut butter sandwich...and she ate every last bite of it!
I'll leave you with a little video of Ella "dancing"....and playing in a pizza box (that was another thing she tried...had veggies on it and everything...she ate it right up!)...this kid doesn't need toys...just a lifetime supply of pizza boxes and she's a happy girl!
