We had a real treat today - Ella spent the morning at the Katsumata's (thank you Jisato for babysitting!) house while I went to see Brian for two cavities. Good times I tell you. When I went to pick up Ella, Jisato just finished feeding her rice cereal and got her down for a nap. I felt bad for taking her when she was in such a good mood and could have stayed longer!
Ella spent the afternoon playing, sitting up, and drooling. At one point, she's learned to flip over after she falls faced forward. If you watch the video, towards the end she performs her new skill.

We took a nice long stroll to the grocery store to pick up ingredients for Mexican tortilla soup. ;) I have to admit, taking a stroller is awesome. Was able to put everything in the stroller's basket with ease.

On the way home, we got a surprise text from Michael that Mayelle went into labor. We rushed home, packed our bags and took the next flight out to LA. We initially were excited to catch the 7:55pm flight (instead of the 8:50pm flight) but were terribly disappointed. The flight was delayed, by the time we boarded and started to take off the Captain stopped us and notified us that there was a mechanical problem and we had to de-board. They put us on a new plane and we didn't take off until 9:35pm. Sigh.
Day 1: Ella's 3rd Trip to Los Angeles
We happily arrived at 10:30pm and Ella was greeted by her uncles and grandparents. She did pretty good for the first hour and then passed out. The only problem with traveling is how Ella wakes up throughout the night to eat. I'm not sure if its because I'm sleeping right next to her or she's not use to the bed? One can only guess.
