Going on 23 Weeks

It has been awhile since I've update this blog. Work has made my time limited and in the evenings I am usually tied up with even more "work". Ellia is doing great at daycare. She loves the kids and doesn't even cry anymore when I drop her off. Can't say the same for mommy though. This has been really hard on me. I miss her so much during the day and continue to feel like I am missing out on her growing. But I remind myself that I am truly blessed to have a job and a family and I'm working to provide her with even more blessings. They do art projects at daycare and have her involved in many fun baby activities. I get daily report cards on her schedule and her Easter art work is hanging on my wall. I am sure daycare is and will continue to help her develop her motor skills even more. A couple of Sunday's ago she started saying dada! It makes Kevin smile every time he hears her shout it out. She also loves to scream.. just to make herself be heard.

Easter was a great blessing. My dad was able to join us on Saturday and Sunday. He is doing so well. I praise the Lord for his increasing progress. I took off on Good Friday since daycare was closed. We made cookies and eggs and mommy took some fun pictures of Ellia.

Saturday was spent with my side of the family with my dad. We went to my parents and enjoyed time with cousin Alex and baby Samantha. Sunday we dressed Ellia up for church. She loves church and focuses in on the big choir. However when it's time to pay attention and be quiet.. that is when Ellia wants to "sing".. so mommy and Ellia spent most of the service out with other parents in the lobby. Sunday dinner was spent with the Angelo's and mommy again dressed her up as a little cotton tail.

Last night we tried cereal for the first time. She made some funny faces but ate it all. And then mommy got to have a good night sleep. well as good as I could with waking up and checking on her to make sure everything was okay. Until next time...
