7.30

 Ella was up at 6:15 again. I was going to meet Beth at 8 to run but Ella seemed like she wanted her nap early so we went a little early and walked a bit. Then Beth and I ran the loop (3.09 mi) running the entire way.  Then we decided to run:walk since my neck isn't back to normal. We didn't have specific intervals. We started with run 2 walk 1 but then ran further different times and once we walked 3 minutes. We went another 2.25 miles. It was 2.24 but  I made us turn around in the parking lot and run more to get 2.25. My nexercise app said 5.52 miles but I'm more inclined to believe my Garmin.  Ella didn't even nap for a half hour of the run!

Then after we sat on a blanket for about an hour! I took plenty of pictures.

Ella wanted to nurse but we were about to leave so I thought I'd make her wait until we got home. She cried the entire way home and was super crying at home. I guess I shouldn't have made her wait. It was only about 10 minutes too!   Then she refused to nap though. Maybe she got in too much of a freak out mode.  She finally napped at noon. She napped for 2.5 hours then we headed to Blanket Babies (the meetup group we have been going to for a few months).  I took my good camera this time and actually used it. Our normal spot was closed off so we were in a different area that I kind of liked better. It was the first time Ella didn't care about me and rolled around and went on other people's blankets and played with whatever toys. She was so independent and also a social butterfly.   We left at 5 when everyone else left.  I saw Ella doze off on the trip home but she woke right back up.

She didn't nap when we got home. She had gotten in the habit of having a 5 PM nap but that only lasted a week. She nursed, she hung out with Dave after he got home, I fed her dinner, she played, and then she went to sleep at 7:30 PM!  This is insanely early for her but late for a lot of babies.

I ended up staying up too late watching TV and using my computer.  You'd think I would have gotten a lot of blogging done and make albums for my pictures but I mainly did emails and random little things that I said I'd email to people.

I read in bed and ended up staying up until 11:45. I stay up too late!
