Other than that...things are going good! Over the weekend we ran some errands...
Ella did great tagging along! We went to Home Depot to pick out tile as our downstairs bathroom is being finished this week! (well probably next week....but we're making progress!) We picked out everything we wanted...then we ran and I got my hair trimmed up...and then went to the grocery store....then grabbed some lunch and headed home.
On Sunday - we went to church...and then came home where Ella was supposed to have a nap...but she just wouldn't take one...and was crying...wouldn't go to sleep...so I just let her come back out into the living room...and she was just as whiny as could be....Josh was gone to the shooting range...lucky for him! So when he came home...he took over watching Ella to give me a minute of quiet time (I needed it!)....after a little while she got over her fussiness...and we went over to our friends house as they were having a little super bowl party....we stayed until Ella laid on the floor and was ready to go "na-night!" Which was about 8pm....she got to stay up an hour later than normal! We live about 5 minutes from their house....and Ella was fast asleep when we pulled into our driveway! They have a dog named Oakley (a terrier I think it is)....with very similar colorings to Bella...so Ella was calling the dog "Bella" the entire time...it was funny!
She LOVES to read....
Ella has done great with eating a few things this week....I made the baked penna pasta dish again...and she did really well with eating that...and eating sweet potatoes....she likes to reach in with her spoon and scoop it out herself....so it's a bit on the messy side....but good for her to learn.
I picked her up from the sitters the other day...and she had a small snack in her hand...and I found out it was a pop-tart....I wanted to be like Noooo don't feed her a pop-tart...but it was a small piece...and I can't protect her food choices forever :) I'm sure a small piece here and there won't hurt her! Plus, Ella is not going to understand why she can't have a piece of pop-tart when the other 3 kids are all eating it. :)
Ella is getting more and more talkative each day...I wouldn't say that she has new words...but she just jabbers more and more. She's good at answering questions...like if you ask her what an "animal" says...she always answers...and she can tell you yes or no...but is actually answering the question that you are asking...and not just saying yes or no.
Well it's 8:30...and this working all week has made me tired! Time to head downstairs to read!
