10 Days and 10 Weeks

Elle and Barry's baby, Kate, who is 10 days old played together yesterday! It was so cute to see them together and crazy to see the difference that 10 little weeks made! Here are pictures of the two of them together!

YaYa bought Elle a precious set of rocking chairs, one with "Elizabeth" on it and one with "Baby" on it for her little dolls when she gets older. But now, Elle fits into the tiny baby doll chair! The picture of her in this miniature chair is so funny!!

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads and GrandDads!

We celebrated Andy's first Fathers Day with a fun breakfast at Flying Biscuit and a mousepad of Elle's face that he can bring to work!

Elle is now 10 weeks old! She is doing very well; she is eating better these days and she is really settling into her napping routine. She can get cranky in the evening after her 7 pm feeding so we are working on keeping her happy at that time of the day. She is sleeping most of the night these days! She goes to bed after her 10 pm feeding and she usually sleeps until 4 am to 6 am! Amazing! She is still waking up around 4 am or 5 am because she gets out of her swaddle but once I fix that she goes back to sleep until 6 am or so. So with mom and dad getting more sleep, we can't complain!

Love you all!

2 Months Old

Wow - Elle is 2 months old! She had her 2 month Ped visit and she is 10 lbs, 11 oz. and 22 inches long. She is growing fast! Today was a special day because it was Elle's first day at church! It was fun for her parents to finally get to go too! We have missed our church! Elle really liked church because she stayed awake the entire service instead of napping! Here are pictures for her 2 month Birthday in her dress that Amanda made!

8 Weeks Old

Elle went to her first Birthday Party last night - Happy Birthday to Lindsey!

Elle is doing well! Eating is going well although it depends on the day. Some days she is really uncomfortable and cries during feedings. Other days (like today) she does great each time! She is also getting better about naps; she is crying less (or not at all) before each nap. We are very excited about her progress! It is so fun to play with her because she now smiles and laughs! Here is one of her 8 weeks pictures with a big smile! She is a very sweet baby!

Memorial Day Weekend at St. Simons

Hi all! We spent a really nice weekend at the beach with YaYa at her house in St. Simons Island. It was a lot of fun to relax with the family! Elle loved her first visit to the beach! It was a beautiful weekend and we took a lot of pictures! It is really wonderful to think that this is a start to many wonderful memories for Elle with her grandmother at St. Simons! Elle was 7 weeks old on Sunday and we took lots of pictures with the hair bows that her YaYa bought her! Check out all the pictures!

6 Weeks Old

Elle is doing much better with eating now that we got her on a different medicine. The first medicine the Ped gave her for reflux worked for a couple of days but then it stopped working and she was miserable (and so was mom!) during every feeding. She has been on a new medicine for four days and she is doing great. Now we are working on the crying before naps. She is so active and alert and does not give into sleep very easily during the day! Andy and I are excited about a date night tonight! YaYa is coming over to hang out with Elle and I pumped this week so I am going to be gone more than two hours tonight for the first time! Elle will get her second bottle ever tonight from YaYa! Have a good weekend! Love you all!

Happy Mothers Day!

Elle is one month old! We celebrated her one month with lots of pictures and ink hand prints and footprints to frame. At her one month Ped visit we found out she is right in the middle for her age for average height, weight and head circumference. She now weighs 9 pounds 4 ounces so she is gaining weight really well! We had some special visitors this week - check out the pics! HAPPY GRANDMOTHERS DAY to YaYa and GMom. Love you all!
