She's 11 weeks old already!

Well, Ella turned 11 weeks old yesterday. She is growing like a weed & is already fitting into majority of her 3 month clothes. Good bye to the newborn days. She loves to play on her play mat. She's figured out how to kick at the toys with her feet, however, she is not coordinated enough yet to grab the toys that she aims for. When she's on her tummy, she can lift her head about 90 degrees. She's doing wonderful & as healthy as can be. She sleeps through the night only waking up 2-3 times. This has been a blessing because she was waking up at least 5-6 approx. a week ago. She smiles all the time now, and loves to take naps throughout the day.

Jonah is doing well. He is in Al Qaim. There has been great progress with what our military has been doing in this area. The city was even able to open a bank. That tells you that some progress is being made. Please keep him in your prayers though because he still is in a war zone even though it seems to be a lot safer than what we expected. If you are interested in sending him a package, just shoot me an email: edornbos@gmail.com, and I would be more than happy to give you his address. Other than that, we (Jonah, I, & Ella) are incredibly homesick for each other. Only 5 more months to go though! :o)

I've joined Curves to help get myself back into shape. It's a pretty good program & I enjoy the "Mommy Time" I get with the help of my mom watching Ella while I'm out. Other things, Mom has been teaching me how to sew & yesterday I learned how to make a purse! Well, baby girl is waking up! That's all for now.
