Most of it was a normal day.  At one point I had her doing some tummy time and put toys ahead of her to see if she would reach for them. She did. Sometimes she reached with 2 hands and her head fell down though. She was content playing. I was on the phone with my mom. Well when I picked up my phone to send a link to my mom, I guess Ella didn't like to be ignored and she make shift crawled to the end of the blanket. I guess to get close to me. It was probably close to 10 inches if you look how far back she was when she started.  She would push her butt up and move forward and land on her arms. Then she worked to get them unstuck and repeat.

I finished my coordinating tank top with Ella. Too bad I forgot I don't look good in light pink when I ordered us matching colors.

Dave decided to ride his bike to work so I had the car.  So after a nap, I got Ella ready and we headed to the mall to exchange a shirt that I somehow ended up with the wrong size on.  She fell asleep as soon as we got in JCP so I shopped around a little then shopped for Dave. Since I was shopping for Dave, I decided to go back and try to find some stuff for me.  I ended up having to wait in line at the dressing room. I got lucky and ended up in the handicap room so there was enough room to actually change and have the stroller. When I was done, there were many empty fitting rooms. I changed Ella's diaper in the fitting room. She was starting to get fussy. Too bad the line was so long to checkout.  While in line some lady gave me Ella's toy football that she dropped.  Then later we lost her burp cloth but I was able to find it.

We hurried home and I fed her. Then we immediately left to go to the Blankets and Boardgames meetup. We were late. She barely napped all day. I knew she wouldn't last long. We stayed a little over 45 minutes.  People were leaving already too. I moved my blanket more into the group a few times as people were leaving.  Ella was getting really fussy. She wanted to sleep so bad. I get home and realize I don't have my phone. While driving home I was thinking about it and how it was in the top of the stroller and then I folded up the stroller and put it in the back. I drove back and it was right by where I was parked.  I was lucky that it was still there and not driven over.  I actually IMed Dave quickly before I left to go back asking him where it said my phone was on find my friends in case it was lost in the car.  He set up some thing to say it was lost and to call him. I saw that on the screen when I found it. 

Ella slept to and from the park the 2nd time. But woke up as soon as we got home.   She ate a little then slept for 20 minutes. Then she ate for 4 minutes. I thought she'd fall back to sleep but she did not. She went to sleep 2 hours later for almost an hour. She was up an hour and then went to sleep for the night.  Well she went to sleep at 8:20 and I thought it was for the night but she woke back up at midnight. (She went back to sleep at 12:30 and slept until 6.)
