Our new high chair!

Well, we were finally able to get a new high chair for our dear Ella Bella! A friend of Ian's offered to let us use their own one - which will work really well for us! Up until now, we've just had her in her bumbo in the middle of the dining room table, and she would use her ninja arms to get into just about everything!

We sat down for our first meal together this morning - eggs, potatoes, toast, a little baby food (she prefers what Mom and Dad are eating) and finally, some of the little Puffs (little stars of no nutritional value that dissolve in her mouth). Now, I feel like I need to admit - we fed her every little bit of food that was listed above. She is having a hard time with the finger/thumb grasping! But, that's why we had some fine motor skills practice at the end with the Puffs - anyhow! She'll get it :)

Last night she slept in her crib for..... wait for it..... 30 whole minutes!!! Whew!! I set up an awesome sleeping place for her - it's all padded and comfy and secure (which I thought was what she wanted!) Well... 30 minutes later she was crying... and needless to say, she ended up in our bed for the rest of the night... sigh!!

On a wonderful husband note - Ian is always great on Saturday mornings, and when Ella wakes up at 7:15 (which she always does) he whisks her away downstairs so that I can get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep - very sweet!! Plus, it's some good Daddy/daughter time...

Question of the day - should I link Facebook and the blog so that posts are available to all? I took all of my students off my friend list - so now it's just people that I actually know... hmmmm.... what do you think?

I suppose that's all for now - Hope you all have a great weekend and week!
