Ellie Rolled Over!

From February 2009

Whoa....breaking news in the Gramkow house. Lori called me today and said that ELLIE ROLLED OVER FROM HER TUMMY TO HER BACK! Yippee! I can't wait to see if myself. And of course, Lori said that she tried to get her to do it again, but she wouldn't! Here's a picture of Ellie and her good friend, Bridget (whom Ellie loves to watch go back and forth all day long!).

We're so proud..and looking forward to hopeful, good reports from the NICU follow up developmental clinic on March 3. We're actually going to go to Topeka and stay with Cousin Audrey on March 2 and pay a visit to the night shift nurses...so all of you reading this - I hope you're working March 2 or March 3! We can't wait to see all of you again!

Ellie's appetite, I'm happy to report is back! Wahoo! And I'm really hoping the croup is gone for good! She's feeling lots better and is back to her smiley self. Aside from her new news of rolling over, she's really taking a liking to hitting the dangling toys we put in her carset, her bouncy seat. She also looks at her bears on her mobile. It's funny, you watch her and its almost like you can tell she's thinking about hitting it, and then will kind of borderline spaz out hitting them. And then it's like she's tired again. We think it's pretty funny. We'll get it on video here maybe this weekend! So about the suspect old milk...well, there were a lot of factors, and I think that theory went out the window when she was still having runny diapers and spitting after eating fresh milk. It's interesting - maybe it just didn't want to settle. Things are better in that area now though! Prayers for Ben - he's been in the lab the past 3 days non-stop it feels like with a class project...also hasn't had much time to continue to work on last semesters classes still - those engineering classes, I tell you what! Also, please pray because he was really excited about a lead with Honeywell, and so far they actually have denied even an interview with him. He's still trying to contact the HR person to see what is up. He's frustrated because at the career fair, they sounded genuinely interested. I guess we just have to wait a little longer to see what God has in store for him!

Today's been a good day. I actually went and got my hair cut and am loving it! It's already about 100 pounds lighter..and I think it'll be a good do to have for someone on the go all the time! It's quite a bit different, but I think it's all good! Good work Stephanie Z. at Hair Experts. My good friend Alisha had to hold my hand, ok, not literally, but it was a big step...I think they cut off about 10 inches..and it was great to have girlfriend support! Too fun! Also, funny that Dr.Roles (my OB doctor) was getting her hair done in the next seat. It was fun catching her up with Ellie's latest. I had a really good time and Stephanie was way fun...so for those of you in Manhattan looking for a stylist, she's a good one! Oh, AND Alisha and I also went to Varney's to order our (and for ben too) GRADUATION GOWNS! Wahoo! Only 80 more days until all this hard work is paid off! I'm just a little excited about that! Ok, well, enjoy the pictures! Better get to feeding my little girl...and then the homework part....so I can actually do that graduation part...
