39 Days Left Until Christmas!

So I am very much in the Christmas spirit! Last weekend we made a quick trip to the lake...to get some pictures done for our Christmas Card! I am almost done Christmas shopping....now time to decorate and start wrapping! Our neighbors have their tree up already!

Last weekend we enjoyed 70 degree weather everyday...now we're back to the 40's/50's...booo! I took Ella "coat shopping" yesterday...that went over like a lead balloon...she was excited to put it on...and then she was trying to yank it off and squawking in the store...so I said forget this...she instead gets wrapped up in a blanket when we walk to the car. Once she's in her car seat she really wouldn't be able to wear a coat - they are just too bulky...so we run the heat and she keeps her blanket on her.

Ella has learned some new things...

1) She can now stand up in her crib on her tippy toes and stretch as far as she can and she can reach the light-switch. We discovered this on Monday. Josh went to go in and get her...he came back out and said, "did you already go in and turn Ella's light on?" To which I replied that I had not. Then again this morning...we were walking down the hall to get her and sure enough...underneath the door we could see that the light was on....she's sneaky! Time to move the crib over so she can't reach that anymore!

2) Ella has learned how to say, "Hello,"...more specifically this morning she picked up Josh's phone, turned it on (the light), put it up to her ear and said, "hello." Well it was in her baby-talk so it wasn't as clear as a bell...but you could tell that was exactly what she was saying...that was something new this morning!

3) Ella is now really into her crackers...and tonight she was walking around eating one. Well, she takes a bite, and then holds her hand down by her side....which is the perfect height for the dogs! And Bella is a brave little chihuahua. Bella snatched that cracker out of her hand so fast. To which Ella yelled "NO!!" and started chasing Bella yelling, "No! No!" What a good girl! :)

Ella is really on a "mine" stage right now. I'm sure this was picked up at the sitters! Having 4 kids all right between 1 1/2 - 3...everyone probably thinks the toy is theirs!

Ella's favorite thing at Romp 'N Roll this week was the trampoline. They have a little mini one...and she thought she was hot stuff. She kept running over to it to jump on it.

Josh was busy this weekend (along with his fellow co-workers)....(check out the link below to see)
