My baby is back! After several of nights of waking every 1 - 2 hours, Ella is back to getting up only once per night. I conclude that those dream-killing nights were caused by her ears hurting from the ear infection. Poor baby. A few nights ago, we couldn't get her back to sleep and Josh had to sleep with her on his chest in the recliner. Josh and I have both been zombies at work this week - not to mention that Josh had to get up at 5am this morning for his "Tai Chi Running" course at the Dow fitness center. This week Ella learned to give a high five. We can tell that she recognizes a number of words now. She is so brilliant! Her standing has been getting stronger and she can stand unassisted for several seconds on her own.
