Well, I have good news to report! Ella has been sleeping through the night for a week and a half now. She falls asleep wonderfully around 10PM. Chris is in charge of her bath and book and bedtime! She will then start to fuss a bit around 5AM. Oddly enough it is the time the alarm goes off in our room for Chris to get up and get ready to head to Mitchell for work. I then some how sneak into her room and give Ella her paci and that seems to keep her content until about 630AM!
This has been so wonderful as well as seeing her smile every time we come face to face with her. That in itself is such a blessing. She is now starting to grasp onto her toys, is much more content playing by herself and is doing really good with learning to scoot around on her back and sit up on her own. She is still not even a little interested in rolling over... but we keep working with her on it. I have a feeling she will sit up on her own before she will roll over. We shall see.
Ella's cousin Amani (My sister Amy's daughter) also spent a week here with us. Amani and Ella get along wonderfully. Ella watches her every move and Amani was actually a big help for being just two and a half. We seem to thing it's a very good age gap for siblings. :) We had a wonderful time with her here and even painted all of our toe nails. Even Ella's! But not going to lie it was exhausting taking care of 2! I still haven't mastered one!
We're having a very productive weekend with Daddy being home for 4 days and enjoying everyone second of our family time together. Still no bites on the house, but we are hopeful. Until next time.... Goodbye.
PS -- HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!! We're looking forward to celebrating with you next month in Arizona!
