Babies at best at imitating and I can’t believe how good Ella is at it! I guess it’s not a surprise to see her blowing raspberries and have saliva spurting out of her mouth all over the place but it really tickles her fancy when Daddy joins in with her. What encouragement Daddy!!! *NOT* I have it recorded but it’s an . AVI file and it’s a monster of a file so I might have to format it into .mpeg before I can actually upload it in here.

It’s really cute to see the both of them communicating and sometimes I really wonder what goes on in the little mind of hers especially when we’re pulling stupid faces and making weird noises. Although she grins open-mouthed alot, getting a baby giggle out of her is like striking the lottery! Don’t get me wrong….Ella is a very happy baby and is all smiles most of the time, even from the moment she opens her eyes – well, most of the time anyway. But to actually hear her giggle and gurgle like babies do is so rare that when she does, I find myself repeating whatever it was that got it out from her just to hear it again – don’t matter how stupid I look or sound, I would do it in a heartbeat over and over again. Isn’t it a wonder how that sweet sound lifts you off the ground? I know that’s what it does to me and I find myself smiling all teeth when she does it. I think she knows that Mummy likes it so when she is in a generous mood and wants Mum to look silly – she rewards me with her laughs.

On the Farex front, I think Ella is going good. She doesn’t really finish all that is prepared but that’s ok – one baby step at a time, I say. I’m planning on giving her sweet potato next but am wondering if it should be mixed with the rice cereal or plain on its own. Have to look it up and get it done before it goes bad!!

Well, I think I’d better get ready for bed. We’ll be out early tomorrow because we’re going into the city to get Ella’s passport application in. YAY!!!! Hope it will come through asap coz we really need to get her tickets.
