Happy 4th

It was so nice to have a full night sleep after a week of excitement. Ella slept very well and Daddy got up with her this morning so I could sleep in...until 10am! We are all well rested and back on schedule with nap time and bedtime. Such an easy baby. We grilled out at Grandma and Grandpa's for the 4th of July. It was nice to visit, relax and then go home with leftovers. I feel spoiled when I don't have to do anything.


Ella's already in bed and sleeping like, well, a baby. I'm going to pick a book and relax. Tomorrow I'm off to Babies R Us to check out high chairs and pick up some rubber spoons for Ella to play with. Soon she'll be on baby foods so I'll let her get used to a spoon and maybe give her some rice cereal out of a bowl instead of the bottle she's been getting.

I'm also going to pull out the jolly jumper and see how she likes it, she's always trying to stand when you hold her anyway so might as well give her some entertainment too. It's a big week for our baby, lots of new things to try out!
