Friday - September 23, 2011

Happy Friday!  Ella slept from 9pm to 7:20am last night.  Woohoo! She must be waking up starving because I no longer wake up to the sound of her cooing or talking, I wake up to a slight "I'm hungry, come get me now" cry.  What's funny is she gets mad if I take my time (i.e. change her diaper first or get the nursing pillow). 

Morning & Afternoon Activities:  We left the house a little after 8am and Ella slept for most of the drive (morning naps are great).  Ella played for the first 1.5 hours with Leslie and then we fed her rice cereal.  Leslie did great for her first trial at feeding Ella.   She didn't finish all of her food but that was mostly due to her desire to sleep.  She slept from 11am to 12:40pm ;) and again from 2pm to 2:20pm. Played with Leslie for the rest of the afternoon.

Evening Activities:  We left work about 4:00pm and got Ella home at 5pm.  She helped me wash the sheets, put the clothes away, wash her dishes, and make the bed.  Ella is going to be my awesome little helper when she gets older.  Mary came over for dinner and we got to try the new restaurant in West Sacramento called the Eatery.  Delicious!

Instead of driving down the street, we decided to walk and take Ella in the stroller.  Ella was fussy as she was sleepy so we carried her half-way and she then fell asleep in her stroller.  She did great during dinner (slept during the wait and for the first 15 minutes of dinner, sat on my lap for the rest of the night).  It was past Ella's bedtime so we took dessert to go and finished dinner at home.  ;)
