unbelievable.

so ella's morning nap lasted for two hours. her afternoon nap happened easily, with maybe ten minutes of on-again off-again fussing. i watched her through a crack in her door and she was playing with her "bunny lovey" and reaching for her mobile as she fell asleep. she woke up a half hour later but only fussed a little bit and then i saw her just laying in her crib peacefully looking around and slowly letting her eyes close. she slept for an hour and a half.

tonight when i put her in her crib awake for bed...

...SHE DID NOT CRY AT ALL.

not at all.

oh, and we tried the rice cereal. she didn't like it. hah! i thought it would be awesome, but it was hilarious to see that she was actually completely rejecting it! she wouldn't open her mouth, and she started taking the spoon and trying to throw it on the floor.

so now what do we do? do we try rice cereal again for a few days? or do we try something else, like oatmeal or veggies? i'm not sure. better ask a. or c. three babies for one and four for the other... i'm sure they've dealt with this.

and she has a little rash on her belly and back. what is that? it's like little red bumps. i sort of feel like waiting until we go to her appointment in a week and a half, but then again, maybe i should call the doctor? i think she had it before we started giving her formula... but i don't think it's her bath soap because she has used the same stuff since she was born, and this is new. we've used the same diaper wipes forever, too.

hm.

oh, she just woke up and cried about twenty-five seconds and went back to sleep.

awesome baby.
