Sunday - July 3, 2011

Hello Sunday!  Ella slept wonderfully last night (9:30pm to 7:00am) and continues to wake me up by her cute sucking sounds.  We spent most of the day indoors as it was HOT outside. 

Morning/Afternoon Activities:  After I fed/changed her, she spent the next 45 minutes playing on her play mat.  She's starting to "talk" when you talk to her and making cute noises.  I am loving her smiles and funny frowns as she learns to control her facial muscles. She must have been tired or going through a growth spurt because it felt like she slept all day.

Video:  Ella playing on her play mat - you can hear her talk, smile, giggle, etc.

Evening with the Steele family:  We had Brian's parents and Grandpa Steele over for dinner.  Ella did great for most of dinner until she was ready for bed at 8:15pm.
