Wow, this mommy stuff makes it hard to be a productive adult!! Why did no one tell us this? Poor Ella's baby book is a disgrace. We have no idea what day her 1st, 2nd, or 3 tooth came in. We were just SO EXCITED, and sleep deprived, we never thought to put it in the baby book. Pictures are just stacking up on top of her baby book, waiting to be placed carefully inside. This blog, that was supposed to be our backup, isn't shedding any more light on the questions we have either. And if all that isn't enough, now I'm behind on the blog too! Ugh. Multiple Mommy Fail.
Well, since the last post, Scott & I have had out 1st weekend away from Ella. We had a lot of fun at the AFCA & AFCWA convention in San Antonio. We saw a lot of good friends and had a great time just the two of us.
I highly recommend The Contessa Hotel if you stay on the Riverwalk. Loved it! And if you have kiddos with you, they get the living room (pull-out couch or tons of room for a crib) &
you have your own bedroom.
The Alamo. I'd never been before.

We sure missed our little girl though!!! I felt guilty about leaving her, but I knew that Scott & I needed time to just be a married couple and I was assured that Ella would be so happy when we got back that all would be good upon our return. Um, not so much. Ella was FURIOUS. She literally shook with anger and would not look at us for an hour! We fed her and gave her a bath and she was better but it took TWO DAYS before she was back to her happy self.
Her happy self is SO AWESOME!
We leave for Mexico in a few weeks and Lord only knows what she's going to be like when we get back! This trip was 10 years in the making, so not going is not an option. For those of you doing the math in your head, no, I did not know Scott 10 years ago. Scott & his college buddies started this & this girl is reaping the benefits!! Woot woot!!! Scott's parents are coming to watch Ella, so this will be such a
great thing for her. She won't remember it, but she will have such a
great time being loved on by her Grammy & PaPa, and what a wonderful
gift to be able to spend time with them. Scott and I are excited to
finally be going on a vacation where we don't have to do anything; no
wedding, no convention, nothing. Just the beach, the two of us &
friends. I'll let you know how she does. We might end up being "those parents" who Skype with their kids while they're on vacation but man, I'm Irish, which means my kid is Irish too & we hold grudges. *Lucky Scott*
We do have an appointment with Ella's allergist on Thursday, so at least we'll have a gameplan on that front before we leave the country. After two severe reactions, her pediatrician wanted to see what's going on....so do we. Hopefully we can get things figured out for her!
Ella Update is coming soon.....she's changed so much!!!
