It's been awhile since I've posted, so I decided (even) without a recent pictures I would update everyone on our first Thanksgiving with Ella and all her new acomplishments lately. We started Thanksgiving Wednesday after work with a trip to Texarkana to visit Chris's dad's family with Chris's parents and his little sister Melanie. Ella did great in the car for the five hour trip there, slept most the way, and enjoyed the next couple of days being completely spoiled by family. We made it back on Friday, just in time for our friends Thanksgiving and ended our long holiday weekend in Mooreland with my mom's side of the family. Ella started (what I thought at the time) entering into a different developemental phase on Saturday with spurts of fussiness and a need of constant attention. Just after telling my good friend at work, how much of a ham she was being this weekend, I got a call from Ella's babysitter, Miss Judy, this afternoon telling me that Ella has been throwing up and hasn't slept very much since she got there. How did I mis-interpret her 'entering into a different developmental phase' as her not feeling good? Feeling like a bad parent, I left work to go pick up my little girl. Even though she was a little under the weather I was secretly a little exicted that she wasn't feeling well so I could have an excuse to spend the afternoon with her, and OH she was such a sweetie. All she wanted to do was to be snuggled and held. Just before she went to bed we were reading her books and she started kissing all the faces of the girls in her "Twinkle Toes" book. It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen. She recognizes faces really well. Some of the girls were on the right side and some on the left and she would find their faces everytime and kiss them. I really enjoyed being home with her over the break and today. Part time would be nice...
Our camera is out of commission right now, so hopefully Santa will bring me a new camera so I can keep updating pictures!!
