Happy 2 Week Birthday Ella

Where did week 2 go?!  Michael went back to work this week, so we had our first couple Mommy, Addy, Ella days.  All went surprisingly smooth.  On Friday we even made our first girls trip to Target.  Ella went shopping with me earlier in the week and the experience was must less intimidating with her than it was with Addy.  One of my biggest fears of having 2 kids was how to manage everyone when we went shopping.  Mission accomplished though.  Not sure how we would have done if it was a big shop (think we'll save those for when Addy is at school) but I managed to fit 2 kids, one in a carrier and our stuff in the cart.

Ella seems to be going through a growth spurt.  We had run out of newborn size diapers and the 1s seemed a bit large.  I bought some newborns yesterday and when I actually got them on her they seemed tight.  And I liked the newborns b/c they have the cutout for the umbilical cord and the day I buy new ones the cord (a.k.a Mr. Stumpy) falls off.  We certainly won't miss Mr. Stumpy though. 

Yesterday Ella was starving every 3 hours, even at night when she had been eating closer to every 4 hours.  She is also staying awake for longer periods.  We are trying to keep her awake and play more during the day to make sure she is good and sleepy at night.  Addison is still having fun trying to entertain Ella, which is cute to watch and quite helpful!
