I forgot to mention....Ella had her first taste of real food. I gave her a few noodles from my mac n' cheese and she chewed them up! (Though I had to hand feed her as she couldn't pick them up off the tray herself). We also tried Chicken and gravy (baby food version) for dinner tonight.
And....
A tooth has popped through! One of them has pierced her gums and you can feel how sharp it is against the rest of her soft gums.
She'll be 7 months on Sunday and I'm still nursing; it's been such an accomplishment for me and well worth it. I love our time together and we've bonded so close. I'm so glad I've been able to up til now and will begin to wean her off closer to her first birthday. (Though we'll see what comes of the whole teeth situation :) )
After a few errands this morning and a restful afternoon, we went over to Ron's Grandma's to help with a few house chores. Ron has her all hooked up with the computer and gave her a quick lesson on the internet.
(Hi Grandma!!!)
Ella enjoyed her visit as always and left with lots of love and kisses.
I'm not sure if you can see in the pictures but I think I figured out what Ella's fever was all about. She broke out in a rash today and her fever is gone. From what Amy has told me, it looks like Roseola; a harmless rash most babies get at some point. She isn't at all bothered by it, she isn't rubbing or itching at all. It's on her chest, across her back, her neck and the side of her face. Again, totally oblivious to the whole thing. (Amy - oh my goodness, no worries or apologies! It was a week after we saw Nolan. Besides, it's only fair as our pool could have given Nolan a lot worse! :) )
Woah! Did you see "Grey's Anatomy" tonight!!!!
