Monday - July 4, 2011

Hello!

We love five day weekends with Brian (woohoo! Brian is off until Thursday)!  Ella went to bed last night at 8:15pm and woke up at 6:00am - amazing!  She's such a good baby and I LOVE her sleeping habit.  She continues to make lots of bubbles and doesn't suck her thumb too often. 

Morning Activities:  After our morning bath, we went to visit Mary in her new home in Woodland.  Ella slept the whole way there and back home.  I work my whole driving schedule around her nursing/changing schedule.  She is not a happy camper if she's hungry or needs to be changed.

Afternoon Activities:  We went to the mall to look for shoes, watched Larry Crowne (Ella took her afternoon nap during the whole movie - it was great!) and had lunch at Johnny Rocket.  I enjoy receiving comments by random strangers on how cute Ella is or how awesome her hair is.  ;) When we got home, Ella enjoyed playing on her play mat for almost an hour before we went over to Grandpa's house.

Evening Activities:  We originally wanted to catch a comedy gig, but we decided to hang out with Grandpa Steele.  And boy did we have a blast.  Ella went swimming for the first time ;) along with Claire and Dexter.  It was a fun treat for the whole family as we even got to play Settlers.  When we got home, we gave Ella a bath/change/fed and we then put her down for the night.
