Not much to write....

It's another Friday here in Cali and its sunny and pretty warm. Gotta love the weather here!

So I don't have much exciting to write this week. (Although, I'm sure I'll ramble on here for a few paragraphs). Andrew actually took a personal day yesterday to spend some time with us. It was wonderful! We had forgotten how much fun it is to all be together as a family, it'd been so long--like 24 straight days! I was also just dying for a break to not have to worry about the kids for once. I'm also looking forward to this weekend because Andrew will be home the whole time and we have absolutely zero plans. Whoo hoo!

Ella is saying "yah" this week to counter her very accurate use of "no". She also is trying to put sentences together. I think I understand what she's saying, but then again, I could just be making up what she's saying. There is hope that she may become a girly girl someday. For some reason, she has started wanting barrettes in her hair! She asks me to put them in and she stands very patiently while her anal mommy gets them just right. Then she leaves them in! At least for a little while. She still runs around like crazy and they get all messed up. But she looks so cute with then in! And it controls her wild hair a little bit!

In other news, we have moved the crib into the living room temporarily and we are attempting to get Lily to sleep through the night in it. (if it hasn't been apparent in previous blogs, the crib has been in Ella's room--we don't want to have two kids awake in the middle of the night so we are planning on seeing if she'll sleep through the night in the crib and then move her back into Ella's room) I'm sure many of you who have visited us are wondering "Where the heck did they put the crib?" Well it's on the wall under the pictures. The couch is now next to the balcony where the loveseat used to be and the loveseat is up against the bookcase. Not ideal, but not horrible either. I can live with it for a little bit. Now, back to Lily's progress. Unfortunately for me and Andrew, she's not progressing. She is getting up two to three times a night. We are slowly trying different things to see if we can find the right combination to her to sleep. Last night it was having an extra fan running for white noise. This definitely seemed to help for her afternoon nap. She slept great. But it didn't help at night. So tonight, we'll add a night light to the mix. Maybe its too dark and she gets scared or something. I swear, trying to figure out a baby's mind is so hard! You'd think it would be simple, their brains are not complexly developed yet. Well think again!

So send us good thoughts for a good night's sleep soon! We need it!

See, I had no problem rambling on even though I had nothing to say. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
