To start off Friday, Ella was awake for Daddy before he left for work. While he played helicopter/superhero Ella, she spit up right in his mouth! I wish I had been home to see that! She must have listened to what I whispered in her ear that morning...haha, just kidding. Later today, for Mamaw, Ella decided to really pull out the stops and go back to something she hasn't done since she was really little. While she was getting changed, Mamaw realized Ella was dry, but about 30 seconds later before the diaper was back on Ella peed all over. Needless to say that was outfit 1 done ready for outfit number 2. And speaking of diapers, we weighed Ella on our scale and she is almost 15 pounds! No question if she is eating enough for sure. I think she has outgrown diaper number 1s and is ready for 2s.

Tonight was also the first night she started reaching and grabbing for what she saw in front of her with a purpose. She stares intently at her rings and frog spin toy in front of her and hits and grabs at it. While in her swing, she dropped her pacifier and was able to grab it with her hand and put it back in her mouth! She is simply amazing. I can't get enough of her.

Then she really outdid herself while I was holding her this evening. She was laying across my lap, smiling up at me, when all of a sudden I felt something mighty wet and warm all over me. Yep! Miss Ella James had peed through her diaper, through her clothes and right onto my stomach and all over my pants. So there went outfit number 2 and out came outfit number 3 for Ella and outfit 2 for Mommy. If she were a boxer, we would be down for the count. Although if you look at her eye, it looks like she beat up herself with her two scratches. Out come the nail clippers.

We are starting to have her wear a bib more often since she drools so much now. She looks like a superhero with her cape on backwards! Too cute. She also is finally accepting a different pacifier, compliments of my friend Holly. They are so cute but still have the straight nipple like the soothies so they are developmentally appropriate.

On Wednesday, Ella and I made up a little dance. She just laughs and smiles so big when we do it. It is our giggle wiggle dance. I will have to post video soon. "Do the giggle and wiggle, the giggle and wiggle..."
