It's already been two weeks since Ella had her first bites of solid food. Saturday she will being to have it twice a day! Ella is offically 19 weeks old. Today she was laying in bed with Lisa and fell asleep. She snuggled with the burp rag which Lisa found to be adorable. Over the past couple of weeks we have been very busy. Lisa had to go on call for work which means she is on 24/7 for 7 days. Thankfully it was a calm week and she only had to go out twice (during non normal work hours that is!) Billy enjoyed spending time with Ella as he knew he would be heading off on a business trip on June 15th for a whole week. We new father's day was quickly approaching. We bought tee shirts for Papa and Grandpa that we needed to put Ella's handprints on...note to anyone reading this...its hard when the child is only 4 mths old! This past weekend was Ella's christening. She looked absolutely beautiful in her gown. We realized how blessed and loved we all are when almost thirty people came to see Ella baptised and to celebrate with us at our home after. This also gave Ella the first chance to enjoy her gift from her mommy and daddy...her very first pool! She loved the water and played with her friends Cameron and Emily. We also enjoyed getting to see Lisa's sister Lori who has been in NY with her new husband for the past couple of months. Billy left on Monday for Florida. Lisa has been very busy at work, but lots of fun things have occured. Ella's first tooth finally broke through the skin and she is knawing on everything. She also found that she can put her foot in her mouth. Ella loves to smile and is starting to recognize her mommy and daddy much faster. She is up to three tablespoons of cereal a day and sleeps 12-14 hours at night. Ella also rolled over for the first time in her crib and was found sleeping on her tummy. On Tuesday night Emily and her mom Elizabeth (who watches Ella during the day) came over. Elizabeth's husband is also on a business trip so we had a mommy play date. We had hoped that Ella and Emily could swim, but as luck would have it storms rolled in. Ella needed a bath anyway so Lisa and Elizabeth filled up the big tub and Ella and Emily "swimed"
Wednesday night was a huge first for Lisa. She went out with Elizabeth for her first girl's night in months and first since Ella was born. They went to see Legally Blonde: The Musical. This was the first time Ella was put down at night by someone other than Billy or Lisa. It was harder on Lisa than Ella, who went down great for her sitter.
All for now...sure there is much more to come!
