" What do you want Momma?", is probably what Ella's thinking. I'm constantly taking pictures of her. She is changing so much, it's crazy. I look back at the pictures of her as a newborn and I can't believe how much she's grown.
Ella just waking up from her nap. She's still pretty sleepy in the picture.
I'd like to introduce Ella's friend, Audrey. For those of you who don't know, her parents are Angela and Fred Belanger. He plays for the Saint-Francois de Sherbrooke and Ange is from Halifax.
So this afternoon we us girls all got together and ran a few errands. We went to Costco and then to the mall.
Once we were done at the mall Audrey and Ange came over to the house for a bit. In the picture above Ella is a little pooped out so she was starting to fuss.
They're going to have much more fun together once Ella is bigger. Right now being 5 1/2 months seems like ages.
She also likes to look at herself in the mirror that's attached to her Activity Center.
Ella's been really sleepy today. We spent a night at Mammy's this weekend and it always seems to throw her off a bit. Not sure if it's the sleeping over part or if it's the being passed around from arms to arms. She's not use to seeing that many people. For the last two weeks it had only been Ella, Mom and Dad. I think she's happy to be back in her things.
I can't believe that she is already 3 months old. She is changing so fast. She is now in her drooling stage. Some days you could mistake her for a Saint-Bernard. One of her new things is to suck on her hands. We really think her teeth are coming in. I had teeth when I was four months so it is possible.
She loves smiling and will smile to anyone who will give her the time of day. If she doesn't smile at you, there must be something wrong with you. She's also been chatting up a storm. Oohhing and Ahhing away. She loves to mimic us when we ahh.
*She is already into 6-9 month clothes. At Children's place she is into 12 month pants. They're a little long but they're just right around her belly.
*She loves watching hockey. Put a baby Einstein movie in and she may watch it for 10 minutes but put a hockey game on and you won't hear her until it's a commercial.
*She loves playing in her baby Einstein Activity Center. She can stay there for an hour before she gets bored. This is good for me because I can get some stuff done around the house while she's playing.
*She still adores bath time. It's probably her favorite thing to do. As long as the water is warm enough she won't complain. We have a little diva in our hands. She doesn't like the bath unless it's between 38 and 38.5 degrees. She won't drink her milk if it cools down too much. If she doesn't drink it fast enough, we have to warm it up for her if we want her to finish. She is already quite demanding. We aren't looking forward to the teenage years. (LOL)
Aren't her pjs just the cutest? The Blackneds sent them to us along with lots of other goodies. Thanks again to Cynthia and Brant.
Well that's it for the Ella update.
We hope all is well with everyone.
