So much has changed since she was first born. Ellie loves her swing now, I usually put her in it while I'm cooking dinner, or doing dishes or something like that. It swings both ways, side to side and front to back. She likes to do both. Her swing also plays music, and makes farm sounds. She definitely stays entertained. She doesn't mind her car seat, and she LOVES to go on walks. The past few weeks she has slept in her bassinet, and has done really really well. She slept in her "rock and play sleeper" for the first 7 weeks, because she didn't like her bassinet at all. Now she doesn't mind it, and sleeps through the night!
Ellie has a pretty good routine down. She takes a morning nap, afternoon nap, and sometimes an evening nap... depending on how well she slept during the day. In between her naps we like to play. We do tummy time everyday, and most of the time, she doesn't seem to mind it. She is getting so strong!!! She is a precious growing girl.
We went to the doctor a couple weeks ago for a checkup and to get some shots. I can safely say that I am NOT going to enjoy shot days. It was sooooo sad. Of course I cried right along with her as she got her shots. Later that day, she was hurting so much. I gave her some Tylenol, and we just cuddled on my bed. Other than the shots, her doctors appointment went really well. She weighed 10 lbs 14 oz and was 22 1/2 in long. She is in the 48th percentile for weight and 50th for length. She takes after her daddy, and is in the 75th percentile for head circumference :)
Ellie has many nick names that we like to call her. Ellie bellie, stinker girl, love bug, precious angel... my mom aka Nanny, likes to call her Ellie Belle, or Eller Belle, or Eller Beller, lol. She is getting more and more hair, which I'm pretty sure will be blonde. She still has blue eyes, and they are absolutely beautiful. I'm hoping they don't change. Neither Kenton or I have blue eyes, but we have them in our family... so we will see.
I can't think of anything else I should tell you. Our lives have changed so much over the past couple months, and I wouldn't change it for the world. It has been a fun adventure so far and I can't wait for the rest of it!
On a sadder note, last week was a very sad week for our family. We lost my grandmother very unexpectedly. Ellie would have LOVED her great grandma and it makes me very sad that she will never meet her. My grandma is in heaven right now, and that brings us a lot of peace. Please keep our family in your prayers!
Hope you enjoy the latest pics!
