My favorite little girl!
Ellie turned 15 weeks on Wednesday. I can't believe almost 4 months have gone by since she came out of me. Boy, time sure does fly by. She has been the greatest blessing any momma could ever ask for. I was looking through my old blog posts a few days ago. It is really fun to look back from where it all started. I remember thinking that nausea and vomiting would NEVER go away, and also thinking "this baby better be worth it." LOL.... I would EASILY suffer through months of sickness to get my precious baby girl!! No questions asked. :) Hopefully with our next kid it wont be so bad, but if it is... its soooo worth it!
Some new things that have gone on in the day and life of Ellie are:
- She grabs things with her left hand... she might be a lefty????
- On average, she goes through about 3-4 outfits a day. (She is in her 2nd one so far today... gotta love blow outs! and the occasional spit up)
- She laughs when you blow on her belly, and kiss her neck.
- Her underarms are ticklish :)
- She loves her crib... and sleeps through the night every night, (well for the most part... last night she got up once).
- She is fitting into 6 month clothes... mainly jammies.
- She has a blocked tear duct that should clear up sometime in between 6-12 months.
- She is a morning baby!!! She is in the BEST mood in the morning, always smiling!
- Her hair is growing a lot... getting blonder everyday.
- Still has bright blue eyes.
- She loves baths! and story time.... her recent favorite book is Dr. Seuss "The Book of Noses"
- Her and Max (the dog) get along really well, he LOVES her.
- She is the queen of fighting sleep.... sometimes it takes an hour for her to fall asleep. She just loves all her surroundings!
- She loves all her blankies... one of her favorites is one that Papa Winters got her in London.. at Harrods (an extremely fancy store). It is nice and soft, and white. It looks a lot like my favorite blanket when I was a baby.
- She loves being outside. I think its the noise, and fresh air.
- She talks all the time. When we eat out, she talks really really loud... it's fun! LOL
Ellie is so much fun, and such a blessing to our lives. I really don't know what I would do without her. My life has changed so much, but all for the better!
I'll put up some new pictures soon. Got to get my camera out more often!!!

3 month old Love Bug
Hey All! I can't believe how big my little girl is getting. She turned 14 weeks today!!! We went to the doctor on Monday (she has an infected tear duct), and she now weighs 12 lbs 12 oz. Such a growing baby girl. She is the most beautiful baby, and she gets more beautiful everyday... I didn't think it was possible :) She has almost grown out of her 3 month clothes, I need to get out the 6th month clothes really soon.
I'm slowly, but surely trying to get her to sleep in her big girl bed (crib). She is nearly too big for her bassinet. I think its harder on me than it is on her. She naps really well in her crib during the day, and sleeps pretty well in the crib at night. She was sleeping through the night so well, but the last few weeks she has been getting up every 3 hours or so. I'm pretty sure she is just going through a growth spurt. When she wakes up at night, I'll nurse her and she will go right back asleep. I try and nap with her during the day, so I'm really not loosing a whole lot of sleep :)
Ellie is really starting to love her toys, and she is starting to put everything in her mouth. She loves to talk, and she loves to talk really loud! It wont be long before she starts crawling! She will love crawling, once she figures out how to.
Ellie still has beautiful blue eyes, and she has started to grow some blonde hair. She is just gorgeous! We just love her so much. We enjoy every minute we can with her, she is growing up too fast for mommy and daddy.
I will try to do a better job with blog posts. We stay very busy, so whenever I have a free minute I try to write something. We hope everyone is doing well. Love you all very much. Enjoy the pics!
