Tuesday - September 20, 2011

Ella woke up about 6:30am this morning which was great because we had a busy day planned.

Morning Activities:  After we fed the dogs, prepared Brian's breakfast shake and lunch, and tidy up the house, Ella and I drove into work (no Leslie as she had to meet her teacher).  Ella slept the whole way there which helped her mood at work. She was happy and played for the first hour and half.  About 10ish, she was starting to get crank (ready for her second morning nap) so we decided to take our work home.

We made a quick surprise visit to Mary's house.  I don't remember the last time Ella got to see Mary.  Ella helped Mary on her work project.

Afternoon Activities:  We got home about 11:30am, had lunch, took care of the dogs and then prepared Ella's rice cereal.  I started to pump again (for fear that I may dry up!) and I think I have a good routine down now.  Ella ate a full tablespoon of rice cereal mixed with 1.5 ounces of breast milk. She did great!  Though she did not want to take her afternoon nap.  She napped for about 45 minutes (12:45pm to 1:30pm) before she woke up.  ;(  She tried to nap again from 3:00pm to3:45pm.  Sigh. So she played on her play mat, listened to Vietnamese music, and then did some tummy time.

Evening Activities:  Though she didn't get her afternoon nap, she did pretty well at meeting.  We got their early enough to play with the friends.  Ella enjoyed her time with the kids (Jenna, Little Ray, Gabriella, Samantha, Annie, and Savanna got to hold her - though I missed a couple of pictures).  Cynthia by far makes the most effort to making Ella laugh (playing peekaboo and all).  Love it!
