peas and things

she slept through the night again. amazing baby. 12 hours of sleep. she's so pleasant and such a happy girl.

also, elenora has been eating peas. Loves them. in fact, she gets kind of impatient while i get the next spoonful ready. it's tricky feeding her, though, because she likes to help out by grabbing the spoon (right where the food is, of course, so it squeezes out onto her hand). also, she likes to suck on the spoon as if it were a bottle, or she blows out when the spoon full of food goes into her mouth, sending cereal or peas sputtering all over the place.

it's super fun.

one of my coworkers miscarried yesterday. i can't imagine the heartache.

last night i went out for the evening now that i have so much freedom to leave the house. k. and i went to tj max so i could find some clothes to flatter my lately slightly more curvy figure (a nice way to say i need to lose ten pounds). i found two shirts and some gray slacks, and a bunch of 9 month clothes for elenora. cute little summer things that i can't wait to put her in like a green polo shirt and purple striped pants. then k. and i went to royal orchid, a thai restaurant, for some delicious dinner and a glass of new zealand white. mmm. it's so fun to get out now. and when i got home ella had slept the whole time.

tonight j. and i might head out for dinner together while momB babysits. after an afternoon of babysitting myself i sure can appreciate a date!

here's some video footage of the peas. ella likes to talk with food in her mouth.
