I Did It!!!!


We are so proud! Our little Ella rolled over today for the first time! From her back to her tummy. She really doesn't like to lie on her back for long periods of time but when she rolls over she gets even more annoyed. We are battling the sleep issue still. Ella has mixed up her nights and days. The Colic is long gone but we are still not getting sleep. We are trying many different methods and found one that sorta works but so as not to jinx this method we will not share till she is a self soothing sleeper. Oh how we long for sleep. We are in the process of having our 1970's Luv tub removed and having the sub floor redone as to move my mom into a different bed room so Ella can have her own. Part of her not sleeping through the night is that she can smell the all you can eat buffet and thinks it is open 24 hours. She will just nibble here and there. Cole was in his own room at this point of his life and yes he had a night feeding but he went back to sleep afterwards. Ella likes the nightlife she likes to Boogie. Cole language skills are amazing an I am always wowed by what he will say. When Ella cries in the car he will lean over to her seat and whisper in his own language. She stops crying. One time I think I heard him say to her to suck her thumb that it will make her feel better. Makes me smile. I asked him if Ella loved her big brother he said "Yes!" I then asked if she loved her mommy and daddy. He paused and said not so enthusiastically "yes." Wow they are already talking about what awful parents they have. We are in so much trouble. Not much else is really going on that comes to mind. Cole goes on almost daily walks around the neighborhood and always asks to do so by standing by the door demanding "Walk, Walk!" mumbles a little then grabs his shoes and hands them to us and puts his foot up so we can put his shoes on. He has only put his shoes on by himself once so far. I was so proud that I did not have the heart to tell him they were on the wrong feet. Well enjoy the picks. Cole loves his bubbles, rocky road ice cream and Ella enjoys making silly faces.
