Another month has flown by! It's been a busy month with lots of new adventures. Ella continues to amaze us... and test us with your orneriness, resilience, wit, and spunk.
1. You had cleft palate repair surgery on October 9th. It was a big, scary surgery but you have rocked the recovery like only you can! You are taking her medications like a pro (as apposed to needing to be held down by both Mama and Baba). Your pain is decreasing every day. You are eating better and getting in more nutrients. And you are talking more every day! I love hearing that voice more and can't wait until you feel more comfortable talking to us.
2. Ella, you continue to be a good eater. You like yogurt, fruit snacks, granola bars, hot dogs, turkey, eggs, applesauce, popcorn, pretty much everything. But you LOVE Chinese Noodles!! If ever you have a few days where you don't eat well we order Chinese Noodles to get you filled up.
3. You are loving KState Football games! All the hustle and bustle, the music, the clapping, and of course time with Lau Lau and Pappy. In the hospital, we were watching the KState game and it was getting late so I laid you down in bed. In your own way, you asked for me to raise the head of your bed so that you could see the game better! We were so proud :)
4. You are ornery and keep us on our toes all the time! You are always pushing buttons, especially your sisters. You just love to see what you can get away with and can put on quite the drama show if you don't get what you want. Although you are learning your boundaries, you continue to test. One day I'll miss this stage ;)
5. As much as you like to pick on your sister; she is always your favorite! You can be having a rough day but she can always get you laughing. I love how you girls snuggle up together to watch a movie and how you giggle together as you dance around the house and how you tackle each other because your hugs are so vigorous!!
6. You occasionally will watch TV or a movie. But even if you do it's not usually done sitting still. I love that about you! The movies and shows you act more interested in are: Daniel Tiger, Madagascar, and more Daniel Tiger.
7. But you do love books!! You are constantly looking at books or bringing books to Mama and Baba to read to her. Her favorites are Stinky Face, Celebration City Express, I Love You So, and all the books that talk to her or have buttons to push :)
8. Favorite toys and possessions are: Sofia Blanket, Ella Blanket, Tigey, and puppy she received from the nurses in the hospital. Other favorite toys are cars, car track, pushing babies around in the stroller, and the shapes ball.
9. You spend hours coloring and putting together puzzles. You are one smart girl and are getting down your numbers, learning colors and letters. We even bought 2 new puzzles this month since you've mastered the ones we already have.
10. You are a daycare pro! You don't always want to get up in the morning and get going (but who does?) but you know the routine. When we get to daycare you give me and Ava a kiss and hug as quickly as you can so that you can run to your teacher and grab breakfast. You're usually already sitting down for breakfast and waving good bye to us as we walk out the door. You have great days at daycare but you're always ready to go home at the end of the day. I love walking in and having you run to me with a squeal and big smile!
