Return of the snot-nose

Ella is working on using a spoon to feed herself. So far it's been very messy and only slightly successful, but she's getting there.



Ella loves showing her tummy, particularly her bellybutton.



My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades!


Ella's gangsta look.



We had a little play group, pizza party for the play offs last Sunday. We ended up having six girls and one boy age three and under. It was a little crazy to say the least.




Ella is sick again. I think she picked up a bug at Toddler Time last week. She has at least two and maybe four teeth coming in, so I think her immune system is a little run down. We've been giving her probiotics and of course she still breastfeeds, so we were hoping that would help keep her well, but I guess not. We've been spoiled by no illnesses in her first 14 months, but I guess we're making up for it now. She just got over that lingering cough about a week ago, and now it's all the same junk again. She was really feeling bad yesterday, but Jeff and Erin managed to get a dose of ibupofen in her and she seems to be feeling better so far today, although still very snotty. She hasn't eaten much since Monday and every time she does, she winces when she swallows, so I guess her throat hurts too. She's been nursing A LOT though, and we discovered yesterday she'll take ice chips. I'm trying to remind myself how lucky we've been with how rarely she's been sick and how minor those illnesses have been, but, still, this stuff is no fun!
