Books 4.5.20

Liam loves books. When he wakes up early, we end up reading in his room. He loves the flaps of Dear Zoo. We have 2 copies of it.

I went for a run with the double stroller while Ella biked. We all went for a walk.

For distance learning, Ella had to read a book and write a few sentences about it. I mean normally the parent reads a library book and the child writes about it. This time Ella chose an easier to read book and she read it. Well she read most of it then I finished it off.  Liam and Miles enjoyed the story too.

I propped my phone and used a timer to get pictures of us. We often read and don't often document it.

2018 Week 52/52 Photo

I had many many photos I wanted to choose. I better blog a lot to include some of them elsewhere. I decided on this picture. Miles loves books. Here Uncle Mike is reading him one of the new books he got. We read this book about a dozen times in the few days we had it there.

Ella had her 6 month doctor visit.
We went to Trader Joe's right after the doctors.


I went to see Dr. Kim since near my incision was swelling up a lot in the mornings. It was actually nothing. I did learn that the pathology tests came back and it was not cancer!  The cyst was 3.5 x 2 x 2 cm.

We went to Target directly after the doctors.

{Old post. That's all I wrote. I was going to elaborate but it's something!}

Ella slept until 8 and woke up so happy.

I went to Safeway in the morning to buy milk so I could eat more peanut butter cake.

She napped early.

She opened more presents.

We did recycling and then hit up Wendy's.  She loved ketchup. She wasn't a fan of the chicken nuggets. She just ate the ketchup off her fingers.

She played by herself and I watched TV. I really enjoyed the break. I got out my laptop to blog and then it didn't go so well.

At one point I had gold fish and Ella grabbed the closed container. She kept shaking it. I thought she wanted some. I asked her and she shook her head. I didn't believe her and opened it and got one out and gave it to her. She didn't want it and then put it back in the container. I guess I should have believed her.

Around 7:30 I got water and she seemed to want some. Then a few minutes later I went to give her more and she kept pushing it away.  Then we did bedtime routine and she was asleep within 3 minutes.

Ella got a bath in my parents' kitchen sink. Ella went to her first library.  We visited my aunt and uncle. In the evening, Timmy stayed up late and took lots of pictures while we all hung out. It was so fun but Ella did get overly tired. (oops)

This was in the morning after Ella woke up. I have similar pictures of Ella with my dad holding her at the table just like this but she's in a different outfit. We changed her outfit when we bathed her.

The bath in the kitchen sink was a little awkward. Ella used my hooded towel after.  I brought a wash rag but also used an old wash rag from when I was little.

After the bath I cuddled with her to warm her up using my afghan from when I was little.

2:30 PM

Ella went to a library for the first time. It was Norwin Public Library. We saw a few people we know.
Ella tried to grab and rip this book after the picture was taken. She needs cardboard books but I just picked this up quickly.

3:13 PM

Ella was asleep in the car so we drove around more. Then we stopped for ice cream. But as soon as I got in the car she woke up and just looked at my ice cream longingly.

5:23 PM

Ella was napping on her stomach!  She will turn over and turn over again. She will also sleep on her side. But rarely if ever do i catch her actually sleeping on her stomach.

Ella played with some toys at my Aunt's house. This was taken in her living room but then we went into the spare bedroom/toy room and she played with a lot more. She played with one stuff animal that was my cousin's when he was little. He's 29 years old now.

I really enjoyed having some "free" time while my dad fed Ella. Too bad I spent most of that time taking pictures each day.

Ella wanted Mike's glass. She was so cute about it too.

10:40 PM

It started to rain so we went out on the porch to enjoy the rain. I never realized how nice rain was before. Well I do remember sitting on my grandparents' porch enjoying the rain when I was younger but this felt nicer.  It was fun to hang out too. Timmy also took a lot of pictures so of course that was fun.  Ella would pull my hair or try to eat my face and then the little focus light would go off on the camera and she'd stop and look at the camera so there wasn't evidence of her being anything but a perfect little angle.

Instead of spending another hour to try to get these pictures in a better order, I'm posting it.
