Today we had "Meet the Teacher"

Starting next Tuesday Ella will go to Mother's Morning Out. I have to admit I am very worried she will not nap there. Mother's Morning Out lasts from 9-2 and they have to be able to fall asleep on their own. Well most of you know the problems with sleeping and naps we have had with Ella ( she just doesn't like to). Ella's friends Hudson and Olivia will be there with her on Tuesdays.

Ms. Penny, Ella and Ms. Debra

Ella has started snapping her fingers when you say cheese b/c that is what we do to try and get her attention when taking her picture. Also Ella has started saying, Hudson, Chloe (doeyee), Up, Out, Ella, push, and more I can't think of right now.

We are off to the lake for the weekend so I will post pictures from there. Have a great Labor Day weekend!

We have an ear infection

Despite Ella's ear tubes she still managed to get an ear infection. Other than a runny nose and slight cough she is acting fine. She is on amoxicillin to try and clear it up. Hopefully it will clear up with no further antibiotics. She was weighed while at the doctor and she is up to 23 lbs (gaining 3 in the past month).

Ella is particular about her shoes

Sara insited I post this one. Mike took this last week.

Under Construction

I have been debating lately whether or not to stop blogging. So I will try a new look on my blog to see if that motivates me to blog more often. I was really hoping to purchase the copyrights of some of the pictures Ella had taken in Florida to use in the new look but I wasn't able to. Please bear with me as I make these changes.

Ella and her new ride

This is when she first got her car.

Well this is Ella in Husdon's car and him in her's.

Hudson also got a car this weekend.




She even had her first passenger

Ella had a playdate today.

Go check out the Campbell blog for pictures from Ella's playdate.
