Say Fromage

Today is a post all for Ella in this adorable raglan sweater Kacie from MamaCase Prints sent her. Of course with me being French I adore this “Say Fromage” sweater, it is so soft as well I would no doubt where one myself once I am back to be pre pregnancy size! Right now Kacie is on maternity leave so her Etsy shop is closed but you can follow along with her on her Instagram account @mamacase. These shots were taken in June so Ella has change so much since then, she’s had her ears pierced, she is taller, her hair has grown and she is talking double what she was then. It is unreal how much changes in such a short amount of time with these little bundles of joy. Ella is on her 4th night without a soother, I really didn’t care to take it from her till she was 2 however she kept biting of bits of the ends which we all know is way too dangerous! So our first night without was Friday which was the worst and now it is smooth sailing. I am hoping to have her big girl room finished being painted tonight so that the room can air out for a couple of days. Then we can build her big girl bed and start her in it later in the week, since she has started to lodge her knees in between the crib rails (actually getting them stuck where I struggle to get them out). Smart little ones aren’t they? My mother says I did things like this too, I am not at all surprised. Ella does this so I come in and save her as she doesn’t want to nap now without her soother, meanwhile she genuinely cannot get her knees out without some force…if she wasn’t in leggings I would literally oil up her knees in Coconut oil before the attempt its in there so tightly! So fingers crossed that the big girl bed is a success, I am hopeful yet I do expect more nights of crying & lack of shut eye. Mommy hood is quite the adventure with its trying moments but the great moments  truly outweigh them, there is nothing like the role of being a mother and even going through this hard moments at 31 weeks pregnant I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world.
