Ella and Clare
Getting sleepy
Hello everyone! Today is Ella's Grandma Liss' Birthday, so Happy Birthday to Grandma Liss.
The long awaited photos from E's first cereal have arrived here :) She loves her cereal and gobbles up every bite in every bowl she eats. Miss Independent even grabbed the spoon out of my hand and ate the food herself and then started chewing on the spoon. I am sure it felt good on her mouth based on the little gummy smile she flashed me. She is always up to something new! The doctor said oatmeal will be the next cereal to try after this rice cereal. She can then graduate to veggies and utlimately fruits. I am sure we will be at fruits in no time seeing how fast time is going these days.
Since the last post, Ella has started transfering toys from hand to hand and can sit in a chair with minimal support from me. I also noticed she is very ticklish under her arms (she giggles when I dress her).
This past week Ella stayed at Aunt Sarah's (my sister's house) while I went into work for a quick meeting. She loves her Aunt Sarah and giggled and played until she fell asleep from all the action.
Last Friday, my friends Lisa and Ginnifer came over with their little ones. It was a nice visit. Clare is Gin's daughter and is a few weeks older than Ella. Jacob (Lisa's son) is 3 but was more interested in playing with the dog more than anything else. As I mentioned in a previous post, Lisa is Brigette's friend (and former neighbor from Valpo ) and Gin is from the mom's club. Ella and Clare are so cute when they get together.
My mom and dad stopped by for a visit yesterday (Saturday) and got to spend a lot of time with Ella. Today (Sunday) was another busy day for Ella as I took her to Crown Point to celebrate cousins Ben and Dana's wedding shower. She got to give her Grandma lots of Birthday hugs at the shower which made both of them happy! Again, she was right in on all the action and met some family members for the first time such as Mike's Aunt Dolly and Dolly's daughter-in-law Stacy. She loved the party favors, which were maracas that really captured her attention. She was held by many before falling fast asleep as her Aunt Dolly rocked her. She came home and capped off her big day with a bowl of her rice cereal. She ate a surprisingly big amount and then cooed and squealed with contentment until it was time for bed. She is such a happy girl :)
We are looking forward to another busy week. Can't believe it's March already tomorrow. The old adage, "They (kids) grow up too fast" seems very true these days.
