Well, Ella's first real physical milestone has been reached. She can officially roll from her stomach to her back like a pro now. She's done it before but not consistently and now we can't get her to stay on her stomach for any period of time before she rolls right back over. She is holding her head up great now too so we can hold her on our hip and sit her in the bumbo chair (when she's in the right mood of course). She is grabbing things with both hands and putting everything in her mouth. Her smiles are a lot easier to come by and her laughs just make me tear up sometimes they are so cute. She is still a really happy baby and we are so blessed because she just goes with the flow most of the time. She is sleeping through the night with still a very early morning feed but she'll go down about 8:30-9ish and sleep until the 5am feeding then she's back down until 8am. She takes about 3 naps a day ~45mins to an hour (if we're lucky). Overall she is a great baby and the transition to work hasn't been too difficult. She is very lucky to be staying at our friends and neighbor's house where she gets to play with her friend Gabriella. My job is going well. I've transitioned to a new role which is a bit less demanding than the HP manager so I can maintain a normal level of balance which is working out so far. All in all, the Anderson clan is doing great and now that Ella is growing like a weed I'm sure we'll reach these physical milestones daily which means I definitely need to update the blog more often. Hope everyone is doing well as we kick off the new year!
