Here is Ella one morning (with some bed-head going on!):
I tried to brush her hair to make her presentable before going to the sitter's...it kind of worked...I stuck a bow in it and it was just fine! :)
We went to Romp 'N Roll this past week...and this coming week is her last time going (at least during the week)....maybe we'll join a weekend class...I'm starting back at work full-time in February. I've enjoyed being home part time...but I will also enjoy being able to pay off Josh's student loan for his Master's! Maybe we'll win the lottery one day! :)
It's been cold here (even though I know I don't really have room to complain)...we had our snow last week...which lasted about a day...and we got snow again on Friday...only about an inch....just enough to cover the roads and make them slick. Ella and I actually didn't leave the house Friday...but Josh did and said he was sliding around a bit coming home (and he got to come home early)...and it melted on Saturday! Annnnd it's supposed to be 67 on Wednesday! Yay! I'm ready for spring!
Ella had a "Breakfast Party" on Friday morning....
She had to line up her baby dolls to sit next to her while she ate her breakfast! I had to help her a little bit with the chairs as she couldn't quite drag them to where she wanted them...but she put her baby dolls in each chair and gave them blankets. She loves her babies!
It's been a fairly low-key weekend...no movie premier's this weekend! I just went grocery shopping....and Josh is at the shooting range now. I have been a little "Suzie Homemaker" in the cooking department...Josh informed me he was soooo sick of CHICKEN...so I have been trying to be creative in making new things....I made a "Baked Garlic Penne" dish last night which was pretty good...I got two thumbs up for that one! I just took out of the oven some "Pumpkin Cream Cheese" muffins...and I am getting ready to bake some sweet potatoes. I am trying to cook more "clean or fresh" instead of using processed items, etc....that are filled with additives and chemicals! And sorry Josh...there is 1 chicken dish on the menu this week!
Ella is just adding to her vocabulary...she can say, "Bella" and "Brinly"...it's more like, "baLLAA" and "brrLLEE" lots of emphasis on the ending of the word! She's getting close! She can't say Grandma or Grandpa yet...too much of a mouthful....we've taught her "Nana and Papa" (for Josh's grandparents in Texas)....she can say those really well! She can say "Nanny" (Josh's mom) well...and she's still struggling with "Grampy" (Josh's dad). Today we learned "Matt" and "Zach" (two of her cousins)....the other three....Aaron, David, and Silas....she just looked at me like I was crazy when I tried to get her to say those...those 3 are a little harder!
She is starting to put a few words together....like, "Bye Daddy" when we leave in the morning....or "Na-night Puppies" when we put them in the bathroom before we leave.
She can say...soup, applesauce, book, bug, bow, brush, seat, hello, milk...that's the majority of her everyday vocabulary....and she can moo, quack, meow, ruff, and baaaa with the best of them! We learned about pigs yesterday and that they say "oink"...which she is trying to say!
I was trying to get her to say "Ella"...and every time I would say it...she would tickle herself and just laugh and laugh...she did say it once...but she was having more fun tickling herself!
Well time to go pop the sweet potatoes in and do a little cleaning while Ella is napping!
