Two Months Old...


Ella is two months old today and has changed so much in the last four weeks. She has finally outgrown her premie and newborn outfits and now fits in 0-3 months. Her bedtime routine is most desirable, bath at 8PM, feed/sleep at 9PM, feed/sleep between 2-3AM and feed/sleep between 6-7AM. Ella not only recognizes our voices, but follows us around the room with her eyes and turns her head. She is able to hold her head up in longer intervals and enjoys sitting in her Bumbo chair. Ella smiles more often, and we can get her to smile by making silly faces and talking in silly voices. She also enjoys taking walks in her stroller and being in her carrier.

One Month Check Up...

Ella had her one month check up today and received a clean bill of health. She weighs 8 pounds and 4 ounces and is 20 inches long. She is measuring in the 25th percentile, so she's still tiny, but has made a great improvement from her last check up, only measuring in the 5th percentile.

First Bath...

One Month Old...

Oh, how time flies! Ella is one month old today and has changed so much in the last four weeks. She has associated our voices with our faces, makes eye contact, sucks her thumb, holds her head up for minutes at a time, rolls her head from side to side when on her stomach and holds her pacifier in her mouth. Ella has gained close to two pounds, her cheeks have filled in and she has little rolls on her arms and legs. She is absolutely PRECIOUS and reminds Matt and I everyday just how lucky we are!!!
