Nicknames: E, Belly (for some reason that one has stuck even though I know she is going to hate me for calling her that when she gets older), Lil Sissy
Likes: Lia, Miller, bath time, swinging!
Dislikes: being sick : ( My poor baby had strep and then another ear infection. We had to give her two kinds of antibiotics this time. After 3 straight weeks of sickness, she is finally turning a corner and we have seen improvement in the last few days.
Milestones: We had to move Ella's mattress from the top position down to the bottom because she learned how to pull herself up and we were worried she might fall out. She has also started using her sippy cup to practice drinking water, and she's getting really good at it : )
Feeding: Ella has 4 bottles a day, usually about 6 oz. each of Similac Soy formula using Dr. Brown's level 3 nipples and wide neck bottles. She also eats one 3.5 oz serving of fruit for breakfast, one veggie for lunch and one of each for supper.
Sleeping: She goes to bed at 7:00 pm and sleeps until 6:30 am. She usually stays awake about 2 1/2 hours between naps. She is trying to drop that 3rd nap and only take two long naps per day lately.
Behavior: She is always smiling! She has started to give me big, open-mouthed, slobbery kisses, which Philip thinks is gross and I just adore!
Clothes: 12 months
Favorite Moments: I swear I heard her say Mama the other day, but it hasn't happened again. I'm so excited to hear her talking!
Looking Forward To: Crawling! She is so close right now, lunging forward into the crawling position from sitting and even rocking back and forth, bu not quite crawling yet...
