Zoo 08/25/12

This weekend was Matts work party with STG, they had the event at the Zoo. We had all three kids with us, it was a lot of fun. Brayden was unsure of what he thought about the animals. But he had a lot of fun looking at them, I think he would have had more fun if he could have pet them. Ella did pretty good, she didnt want to lay down in the stroller. So we let her sit up in the stroller, she had a lot of fun looking around. She did good till the end of the day and started crying and wanting to go home. She cried most of the drive home. We also had a few friends over to celebrate Matt's birthday. Ella did great, she slept most of the time, but stayed awake for some looking at friends. Brayden enjoyed the night with his girlfriend Lexi. They stayed up together and played till almost 1am. They didnt stop at all, they just kept on playing. We thought they would fall asleep a lot earlier than that. Marian was also able to spend the weekend with us, she had her best friend Lizzy over. They had a lot of fun dressing up and playing games. It was nice to see all my children having a great time with friends.
Ella started talking a little over the weekend also, she is now 9 weeks. Ella also started to take my hand and hold it up to her chest with her hands. She holds my hand so tight that I cant let go. Ella is also recognizing mirrors and toys. I put a mirror on her car seat and she looks at herself in it and smiles.

We had a great weekend, next week is Ella's neurosurgeon appointment. We are looking forward to some answers on the fluid in Ella's brain. We will update as we get answers. Thank you all that follow the progress of Ella. She is doing so great and I pray she continues to stay on target!
