Thursday - September 22, 2011

Ella slept great last night (even though she went to bed late).  She woke up this morning about 7:30am and found herself entertained by her Grandpa Frank for a couple of hours.

Morning Activities:  We fed Ella rice cereal earlier today to see if that will help with her afternoon nap (it did not).  She was a little fussy while she was eating as she was overdue for her morning nap.  At one point, she was eating while her eyes were closed.  ;)  Funny stuff.  Dad went to Brian's office for his dental work while we went to DDGE.

Ella did great on the car ride - slept through most of it.  Amber watched her today and she did great with Ella - - even got her to take a long morning nap. No crying or fuss  ;) so hurray for Amber!  An awesome babysitter is one who can calm Ella down and not let her cry to the point where she is mad.  We'll be using her again.

Afternoon Activities:  We left work about 1pm and got Ella home in time to play with her Grandpa Frank.  She continues to skip her long afternoon naps.

Ella's First - Sitting Up (without any support)
Milestone Moment:  Ella was playing with her soft blocks and I notice that she was doing well sitting up.  So we tried something new and she sat up without any support (I think she was trying to impress her Grandpa while he was visiting). I can't believe she is sitting up and balancing herself.  ;)

Evening Activities:  We made a trip out to Elk Grove to visit relatives and then met up at Michelangelo's for dinner with Brian's folks (Thank you to Great Grandpa Steele for treating us).  Ella sat in her car seat for most of dinner which allowed me to eat with both hands (awesome!).  I'm trying to get her use to sitting in her car seat more so that dinner outings are more enjoyable for everyone.  Tonight was a success!

We got home about 8pm, gave Ella a bath and put her down for the night. Poor thing, she was tired.
