Last Sunday...
Dressed and ready to go to church! We have to get in all these Christmas dresses during the month of December!
Monday and Tuesday was our typical routine.
Wednesday - my favorite day of the week...we get to go to Rompy's house! Ella first got up and was as happy as could be...
First things first...she asked for her "baby"...(she's going to love opening up TWO new baby dolls at Christmas!)
We went to Rompy's house and had a blast...and then onto Target where it was totally crazy (people out Christmas shopping!) And we laid low for the rest of our day.
Friday - we did something a little different...we stayed home in the morning and played...Ella went down for an earlier nap than usual...got her up around 2...and we headed to my work...where I met up with the other girls...and we all went Christmas Caroling at Oaks Retirement Home...
The man in the picture is Jack...he came with us to each room to sing (he just hummed along to each song...but was actually pretty good!) All the residents enjoyed the singing and clapped for us...one man said..."oh all these pretty girls...Merry Christmas to me!"....I'm sure they loved having visitors...and I think they really enjoyed seeing Ella (she got lots of compliments!)
Saturday - we went and got Josh's hair cut....and then braved the grocery store...what were we thinking! Well I guess we needed groceries! But it was a zoo! Josh was like, "I HAVE to get out of here!" He just loves a crowd...I told him he was more than welcome to wait in the car....but he was nice and stayed :)
We came home and had lunch...and Ella played for a bit before her nap time...I thought after I put her down for a nap that it would be fun to decorate Christmas cookies with her....so while she napped...I whipped up some sugar cookies....
And then we decorated....
Ella did a pretty good job of having patience...she did keep saying, "bite," over and over again! However we waited until after the decorating to have some bites! :)
Ella and Josh got some quality reading time in today too...
Phew....we've been busy!
Ella knows and can say....hair, ear, eye, nose, and mouth....she can say each of those and point out where they are....today we learned cheek and chin...
She puts a few words together every now and then....yesterday as I was buckling her into her car seat...she said, "puppies na-night?" To which I told her that yes the puppies were going na-night while we went out for a little while.
She can say, "bottle"...she gets frantic if she is holding baby and can't find baby's bottle...she knows how to say, "milk"...but she uses that word anytime she just wants her cup that has either milk or water in it.
Everytime we plug the Christmas tree lights in....Ella says, "whoa" and smiles really big....she likes the lights!
She's learning a lot...and her little mind is such a sponge right now! She mimics whatever we do...it's funny!
Well the wrapping is done...just a few more days until Christmas!
