Ella is feeling better, but still has a runny nose and cough. Oddly enough, the cough seems to be worse during the day than at night. She hardly coughs at all at night, but she's coughed so much she threw up during the day. I'm just glad she's able to sleep pretty well. We have no new teeth. Her gums are swollen in four spots and I suspect there are some teeth trying to come through under there, but it might be a while still. She has been so grouchy lately, I'm hoping it's just that she doesn't feel well and my sweet baby will come back when she's better...Actually, she is still really sweet. Lately when she's nursing, all of a sudden she'll wrap her arms around me and squeeze me tight and look up at me and smile. It just completely melts my heart. Also, if she does something bad and I'm using my stern voice, she will try to give me kisses and hugs. Every time she hears someone coming in the garage or the front door, she looks at me and says "Daddy?!". I heard her saying it to Erin when I came home from work the other day. I'm not sure if she was disappointed when she saw it was me.
She's really trying to expand her vocabulary. Every day she tries new words. Yesterday it was shoes and easy. I don't think she's retaining it though. She seems to understand what it means at the time and I can understand her pretty well, but if you ask her again later, she doesn't seem to remember. I guess it just takes a lot of repetition. When Erin gets a text or whatever on her phone it says "Droid" in a deep computer voice. Well Ella has picked that up and every time Erin's phone goes off she repeats the "Droid" in her high pitched squeaky voice. It is so cute and funny, we were all dying laughing.
