Good Morning World

21 Weeks

The last time I posted was the 12 of January, what you noticed?

So much is changing here so fast. Things that are new

• Ella is sitting on her own.... I just bought her a bumbo go figure

• Ava is really starting to miss her Daddy when he is away, which is really sad, but we make it through together

• my sister starts school tomorrow GO NIK!!!!

• Ethan is my little helper around the house, his favorite is vacuuming. I rent him out. He'll do you whole house for $20. Just a warning he might out last your vacuum

• we visited my Mom and had a wonderful visit, the kids love it there
  

• the count down is on, our trip to Florida is in? OK I guess I'm not counting all that well cuz I don't know how many days are left.... I know it's too many
  

so many things happen here I want to post, yet I sit here a blank slate boo!


Thanks Allen, Bronwyn and family for the cute little sleeper Ella is wearing in the picture. Although it's still a little big!

To My sister on her birthday.
I remember the day you were born.
I remember your little hands and your cute button nose.
I remember the fun we had and the terrors we were to each other.
I hope you remember how much I love you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Sometimes you just have to spell things out for me.

Her Eyes Are Blue

Ella 18 weeks

This week Ella found her hands, she reaches and plays with toys. I am also aloud to hold her and sit at the same time, this is not a milestone, but trust me my feet think so. This is night 2 of a great routine everyone asleep by 8:30 and the evening to myself. So yet again I'm headed to bed early. I'm working on getting rid if the bags under my eyes.

Sleep

Tonight is a first. As you can tell by the title and the fact that I'm actually posting a string of words...... I put all my children to sleep at 8pm. Can you hear that? Yep silence. They are all asleep. Tonight is the first night that I put Ella down awake and she fell asleep on her own. I feel a surge of hope. I do not however have any hope that they will all sleep through the night, but this is a step in the right direction. Now I'm not going to be stupid I'm head for bed....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

17 weeks

New this week, blowing bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles which means drool, drool and more drool. We are on the cusp of 4 months and I can't believe how big Ella has gotten. I weight her today and she is 16 lbs. Not sure how long she is, I'm taking her into the doctors tomorrow because of a cough so I should find out then.
