Quite a week

Ella has had quite the week. Here are just a few highlights:

Monday: Ella was at Rusty's moms. She likes to touch the air vents that are in the floor, especially when the air is coming out. She was playing and then Rusty's grandma walked by and Ella made a mad dash to catch her. (funny in itself. Rusty's grandma is no spring chicken). So anyways, Ella goes to catch Granny, Ella's finger stays behind. Poor girl! She's got a pretty nasty gash on her finger!

Wednesday: I put Ella down for a nap only to have her wake up screaming about 20 minutes later. I go in to see what is wrong and she's got a gash on her cheek that's bleeding. Hmm. Later on, we're in the kitchen and I see her sitting in the corner, munching happily on something. 10 minutes later when I finally pry it out of her mouth, I find that its a huge piece of mulch. Gross! We also went to Kinkos to look for her bday invitations and she managed to knock a ton of envelopes all over the floor.

Today: Lets see...grabbed her the second before she dove down the stairs (from the very top! Her had was litterally on its way down the first step). Was making dinner, went to check on her and she'd figured out how to crawl up to the 2nd step and right as I was about to get to her, she lost balance and fell backwards and hit her head on the floor. She learned how to gag herself-nice. She did it all day long today. All the way through Target. I've heard of kids doing this before, I don't get it. It can't feel good! And if I hold down her hands so she can't do it, she'll just make the noise like she's gagging and then just start laughing hysterically! Also today, she found the power button on the TV and turns the TV off and on continually. She also found the one outlet I forgot to put a cover in and stuck her finger in it.

Even with the "active" week we've had, its been great. I love her spunk :) She's gonna keep me on my toes, that's for sure!
