hold me, entertain me, or else!
The last few days Ella has been needier than usual. at first we thought that it's because of the vaccinations she got (the dr told us she may be crankier than usual), but it's been long enough after...
last week she used to be happy just sitting in her bouncer and looking at her starfish for a while, or swinging in her swing. this week, she really really wants to be the center of attention all of her waking time. preferably be held by one of us. OR ELSE. if we just put her down for a minute she starts yelling.
i think she's starting to learn the power her crying has on us.
(in the picture: ben spent a good fraction of yesterday holding and shaking this frog toy in front of her face.)
i spent a few hours "wearing the baby" in the baby-bjorn carrier. yeah, walking around looking at stuff. new favorite: the colorful wall under the bridge on our street, and our own little art museum (see picture --->)
hopefully, just another delightful phase!

So she spent the weekend here being held and cooed at and generally catered to every waking moment and then got a vaccination on Monday that made her cranky. Can't imagine why she thought she ought to be the center of the universe the rest of the week. ;)
I'll bet that when she can hold things and grab things and put things in her own mouth she will entertain herself better. Her ability to entertain herself right now is pretty limited by her physical abilities. But the fact that she's got you guys trained tells me she's no dummy.
