Sick

Ella is sick this week. She has been coughing at night and it wouldn't go away. I finally called the doctor and they said bring her in because it didn't sound good at all. She was making this chocking and gasping cough. Some thoughts were that she had developed asthma or that she has croup. Turns out that she has a sinus/ear infection. Poor little girl. Her first sinus and ear infection. At least she got it when she was almost 1 that really does help her out in the long run, but this is her 3rd illness this fall. It's going to be a long winter.  Good news is she likes the flavor of her medicine, so that will make it easier to give her her antibiotics. Chris made Walgreens change her medicine so it would taste better, good thing too. They had it in berry flavor and Ella hates berry flavor so we got it made in apples. She has to be on antibiotics for 10 days. I hope she feels better soon.

Pumpkin Patch

Ella and Mommy went to the pumpkin patch today. We wanted to go on Saturday but with the ice storm we had to wait till today. Ella had a blast. It was windy, but she enjoyed every minute. She loved the sheep and goats, corn box, slide and best of all the bunnies.

Ella's first sandwich

How Ella likes her PBJ sandwich:  - PB and double the J, with a tall bottle of formula.

11 Months Old

Ella is 11 months old! How did we get here...?!?


So what is in the life of a 11 month old? She is walking all over the place and mostly by herself. She is eating table foods and loves it. She is starting to hold the bottle all by herself if it is lite enough. She is starting to take a sippy cup, we are on cup type #4.... She is gesturing more and is useing more social works like "Hewhoa" (hello). She loves to talk on the phone and play with Baby. She likes to watch PBS Kids while sitting in her basket. She likes to play peek a boo with anyone who will play. She likes to help out where ever doing what ever, and she thinks she is the greatest help. Still no teeth....


One month to her 1st birthday!!! Hard to believe it, but it's just around the corner.

Baby

Meet the newest member to the Campbell family, Baby. Baby is a doll that on of my friends gave Ella while she was watching her one afternoon. My friend and her family are in the middle of packing to move and Ella found Baby amoung the toys that were going to make the trip to Good Will. My friend tried to take Baby away from Ella but she would just scream. Ella loves her Baby, Baby joins us for dinner, for rides in the car and some times nap time. She gives Baby hugs and even pats him on his back. It is so sweet. She is going to be a girly girl. I better start putting money away for all of those Barbie Dolls.

It is offical...

Ella is a walker! She took one small step about 2 days ago and than didn't walk for awhile than today she stood up in the middle of the living room and walked 7, count them, 7 steps all by herself!!! She seems more sturdy and confident on her feet now too. She will be a pro in no time.

10 Months old

Ella is 10 months old! Only 2 more months before her 1st birthday! WOW!!


So what is in the life of a 10 month old?  She can now say over 20 words and make small phrases like "Hi Daddy." She loves to feed her self with her hands, she is getting closer to walking, but still doesn't have any teeth. She is learning more how to get into trouble and pretend that she isn't doing anything wrong. She knows how to turn pages of a book and is learning "open" and "close". She is so gifted.
