I of course...caught Ella's cold! Started in on Sunday night...thankfully it was fairly short....only lasted until Thursday. I was taking extra Vitamin C and Sudafed every 12 hours! The first couple of nights I only ended up with about 5 hours of sleep each night...this was due to being stuffy....annnnd Ella's coughing! I was a tired Mama...and still am!
However, we are for the moment healthy!
There really hasn't been too much new this week. Last week when I was making the banana bread - Ella came right over and saw me with the banana's and immediately said, "banana." Which took me back a little...I haven't given her plain bananas since she turned her nose up at them months ago. So I asked her if she wanted some banana...to which she said yes. I cut up a few pieces and sure enough..she ate it right up!
Ella is very in tune to everything around her. I had the radio on one day this week on our way to the sitters house...and Ella was repeating words from the song! (It was a local Christian radio station!) When Ella gets out of the car now she immediately wants to get down. She turns herself into a rag doll and goes limp so I have to put her down. She is very good about holding my hand however....and we've only done this while walking up to the sitter's door in the morning.
Ella got a new cup this week..it's a bigger cup with a straw...well you would have thought she was just given a million dollars! She thinks that the cup is the best thing in the world. I filled it up with water last night...and she wouldn't put the cup down...I finally got it away from her and actually dumped some of the water out....her little tummy was filling up like a football!
She's getting very good at reading her books...she can point to things and say what they are...cup, tree, ball, snake, bug, truck, puppy, star...and if it's an animal she recognizes she will make the animal noise. She's a smart little cookie!
Ella also got some new shoes this week!!! And when I say she was excited...that's an understatement...she immediately sat down and tried to pull her shoes off and then took her socks off and wanted her new shoes on. She than ran around the house, stomped her feet, and squealed!
