Ella, Baby!!

When someone asks Anson what his baby sister's name is he says "Ella Baby"! He came up with that on his own and we though it was cute! Ella finally had her 3rd ultrasound today. She cried for most of it but I think I would have too! Two different doctor's came in to make sure the images were coming out right since this was a "re-take" on their dime. They both said that the hip looked secure in the socket and that the brace was definitely doing its job! So tomorrow when our doctor gets the results, we'll find out how much longer she'll need to wear the harness. We're ready to be done with it!

Anson went with us to the hospital this time. I was a little worried about how he would behave (because the appointment was at 1:00 - naptime!!) but he did a great job! They turned on a TV for him to watch and he sat there "glued" to Clifford! It was a real treat since we still don't have a TV. Don't get me wrong though, we watch movies and TV shows on the internet. And Anson watches DVD's on a small portable player in his room. Some of his favorites are Veggie Tales, Boz the Green Bear, and Hermie. Gramma and Papa Camp keep us stocked up on DVD's! He usually watches one in the morning while I get ready, then he's off to other things.

As you can tell by this little video clip, Anson loves entertaining Ella! He is always really sweet to her. The other day she was getting fussy around dinner time so he went to her room and got her a toy! And it worked!! When he talks to people on the phone now, he'll say "Hi! What are you doing?" And he is starting to sing along with music now! I see so much growth in him every day now! He's physically growing too, as today I noticed that his 3T jeans look like high water pants! Yes, he looked a little nerdy so I guess we better go shopping! You know how much I HATE to shop! (wink, wink) ;o)

Well, as always, we'll keep you posted on Ella Baby. Thanks for reading!
