I got this idea from two friends that started blogging about their new babies. I thought that it would be a great way for Ella's family in Ohio to stay in the loop about what is going on with her and with our new family. Maybe I can get in the habit of posting once a week! I start work on Monday and Ella will start going to Peggy's. I went to Peggy's from when I was 18 months until I was around 11. She runs a home daycare and is less than a mile from our home. Kevin and I took Ella there today so that he could meet her. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful lady look after our daughter. If I have to leave Ella with someone then I am glad that it's Peg. My cousin Sasha's two children Natalie and Logan go there as well so it will be nice for Ella to get to spend so much time with her cousins. Kevin said that he really liked Peggy and was impressed at how well behaved all of the kids were there. Ella was all smiles. Its quite amazing how quick she is changing and developing. On that note we think that she may be teething already! My Nana felt what she is quite sure is a tooth coming in on top and I can see something white poking through. Peg noticed it to, so with two experienced baby people, I don't think that I am completely nuts. She has been fussy, putting her fists in her mouth constantly, and drooling up a storm. Her hair isn't falling out its growing and she is in 3-6 month clothing already because she is so long! She has her two month well-child check coming up soon and I am interested to see how she has grown, but am nervous about her getting all of the shots! In addition to starting work on Monday, the following week I start my spring semester of graduate courses. I'll be taking two this spring so with work, school and a little one I expect to be quite busy! We had a great first Christmas and Ella did amazing with all of the holiday parties. We couldn't ask for a better baby. While she isnt sleeping through the night yet, she only gets up once and goes back to sleep after she eats. I'll be posting again soon so stay tuned if you would like!
