All night long

Ellie is officially sleeping 11-12 hours at night without eating! Last week I decided to give it a shot, and take away her 11pm "dream feed." The first couple of nights she did wake up and fuss a couple of times for 15-30 minutes, but after that it's been pretty smooth sailing. Well, other than the night that I worked. RJ told me she cried for 15-20minutes and he couldn't handle hearing her cry, so he fed her. She has him wrapped around her little finger.

Her second upper tooth has poked through in the last couple of days. Can't wait to see those cheesy smiles with 4 teeth!

She has graduated from her baby tub to her "big girl tub." I probably should've done this a little while ago, but that thing took a long time to blow up.

Last bath in her "baby tub"

First bath in her "big girl" tub. And it quacks!

I've been giving her more attempts with real food. Breakfast usually includes a little bit of a pancake with some pureed fruit, and she can't get enough. Dinner has been some cheese and spinach ravioli or bits and pieces of what we're eating, with some pureed yumminess to actually get some nutrition in. She's getting much better with actually getting the food in her mouth on her own, but it definitely makes dinner a process. No more eating dinner on the couch watching tv.

First tastes of a cheeto.

I guess she liked it!

Father's Day was pretty low key. I gave RJ a "me" day, and let him pretty much do what he wanted. He slept in, worked out, and even took a nap when Ellie and I did. I made him pot roast for dinner, and then he spent the night with Ellie while I went to work. I hope he remember this when I want a "me" day...

RJ's gift was a new tennis racket. He's already talking about teaching Ellie.


Give her a blanket and she'll entertain herself for a while.

I guess she thought she wanted to put my pajamas on. If only she could dress herself in her clothes.
