Slowly but surely we're getting into a routine here and after about 9 months of Matthew not sleeping and crying every second of everyday we seem to have turned a corner... discovering a milk allergy and making him scream himself to sleep 3 times a day for a week changed our world drastically! So now, all is well in the Holcomb household.
Ella is a wonderful big sister, she loves Matthew (whom she still calls B- in fact, we all do most of the time) to pieces and is a great helper. She is a little chatter box, just like her mommy. She has to narrate everything she does during the day and everything Matthew does too.
Matthew, almost 11 months old now, started crawling a few weeks ago and graduated out of his physical therapy routine. Yea B! Ella's having a few issues with the fact that he can now get to her toys but she's getting used to it. Lately though I hear a lot of, "Mommy, take B somewhere else."
We managed to get out of the house sans Matthew last night to take Ella to Raleigh for a Carolina Hurricanes hockey game. She loved it! Every goal they missed (which, unfortunately was a lot) she yell, "oh man! missed it!" and shake her head. Hysterical!
Earlier this year, in January, Bryan had some work to do in Orlando so Ella and I tagged along. While Matthew got some QT with Mimi & Teddy for a weekend in Winston. Ella was flabbergasted to see that Cinderella's castle actually is a real place. We were not allowed to get close to any of the characters because Miss Personality is petrified of them, but she was in awe of Disney World as a whole and I am so excited to take Matthew in a few years. Pretty sure it will be a completely different experience but equally as fantastic!
Now, with promises (for real this time!) to return soon I'll leave you with 2 picture of Matthew to show you just how far our sweet 4lb baby boy has come in the last 11 months...
