Happy Valentine's Day!
Ella is sick now with some sort of throat infection (not yet strep, but we'll see what they say tomorrow). Anyway, before she was feeling so terrible, Ella and I went Valentine's crazy in the kitchen. We made some fun cherry flavored popcorn, festive for Vday. Also some delicious new bars which have oatmeal (healthy), peanut butter (okay...sort of healthy)...and chocolate (delicious!) They've been a huge hit with everyone who's tried them. And, last but best of all, we made funfetti heart shaped cookies with a red velvet frosting for dipping. OMG!
Have a great Valentine's Day!

February!
Wow. January FLEW by! I can't believe the great weather we've been having. Lack of snow is just fine in my book, but I sort of feel bad that Ella hasn't had one chance yet to wear her new snow pants! (I just knocked on wood....hoping to fend off any chances of snow for a while). We know it's coming though, you know? I mean, this is Minnesota after all.
We've just finally gotten Ella over her first ear infection (ever). What a crazy few weeks that was! We are fortunate she's never had one until now, but I kind of think we paid for it with a really tough one to get to clear up. Thankfully (again...knocking on wood) I think we've gotten past it now.
I was just checking our camera for pictures to post, and sadly, we haven't taken many since the holidays. There just hasn't been much going on. I'm making a little mini resolution with myself to try and capture more ....even the every day stuff will be fun to revisit in a few months...years...she's changing so much now!
Ella weighs 31 pounds now. She's still crabby about visitng the doctor, even when we talk it up for a day beforehand. What a stinker! She cried and cried when the drs were trying to check her ears, and then she refused to stand like a big girl on the scale. So guess what? I had to stand on the scale with her, then put her down, and get weighed myself. Not what I was planning to do that day! Thanks Ella. Now I am also scared from the visit! :)
Lately, Ella has been asking us to tell her what we'll be doing (or she'll be doing) later. And then she'll say "What's next Mommy?" or "What else Mommy?" It's cute because she's obviously picking up on things, but at the same time I can only think of so many responses!
Ella's favorites right now: Dora the Explorer, The Disneyland sing-a-long movie, Blues Clues on Netflix and playing with her dollhouse. She LOVES to play with her dollhouse, and she also LOVES to boss us around while playing. She wants us to play dollhouse with her, but we have to do exactly as she says or she's mad. Unbelievable! We got her a few extras for the dollhouse as part of her Valentine gift this year, so hopefully she will be able to play a bit more with her dollhouse on her own!
Happy February!
