Yeah for the sunshine! The high reached 60 degrees today with clear blue skies and slowly started melting all the snow. Knowing Colorado, we will still be in for more snow before the warm weather decides to make a permanent home here for the summer months.

Ella slept well last night, but started getting cranky at 6am, which is early for her. I took care of her from that time till about 8am, then switched places with Josh. Through my slumber between 8am – 10am, I could hear Ella all the way down the hall screaming (through shut doors). It just sounded like she was giving her Daddy a hard time. Man, her temper is fiery!

Although we are keeping Ella’s volume of food the same, we have started to increase the daily feeds and decrease the amount given at night via the food pump. We want to take slow steps to see if we can get to a place where we are just feeding her during the day and not using the overnight food pump. We’ve taken small steps up till now, but so far, so good.

The Bun and I had a good time playing today. I did not have the camera handy to show off her sitting up and smiling routine, but she did a good workout for an hour! Her endurance is definitely getting better. Once I let her rest for a bit, she made sure to let me know that her nose is still bothering her too (pictures above). I can only hope that will go away this week and that we do not catch other cooties on our visit to Children’s Hospital on Thursday.

Psalm 143:8 (NIV)
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
