Can't believe almost another full month has gone by.  With both of us working full time, it's much harder to keep up with everything.  Every second that I have at home and Ella is still awake, I'm just dying to be with her!  She has been to daycare for two weeks now and absolutely loves it.  She loves all the sitmulation there and seeing all the other babies.  I'm not sure if it is daycare, or just time, but she has learned so much lately.  She is really reaching for all of her toys now to play with, not just put in her mouth.  I'm truly amazed by how much she knows already.

She got another cold her first week at daycare, but we are looking on the bright side that this will just help build her immune system!  She's definitely feeling better this week because she's been talking up a storm!!  The other big thing that's changed lately is that she really loves sucking her thumb now.  Other than if she's really tired or frustrated, she soothes herself all the time with her thumb.  This helps a ton and lets her sleep much longer since she can put herself back to sleep. 

Ella is headed to Kansas in two days to meet a lot more of her family.  I know her and Josh will have a great time, and I'll miss them both so much!!  We figure she will be a world traveller by the end of the year :)
