Two Months

Ellis is two months old today!  Time has flown by and I am amazed at how much she changes each day.

Things Ellis likes...

• Waking up in the morning and staring at the sunlight coming in the window
• Kisses on her cheeks
• Bouncing, swaying, walking
• Looking at herself in the mirror 
• Her pacifier
• Dancing in the kitchen with Daddy to whatever is playing on the Sirius radio

Things Ellis does not like...

• Dirty diapers...particularly number ones
• Tummy time
• Sitting in your lap (this girl has to be moving!)
• Changing clothes
• Getting out of the bathtub...it's cold!

Here are some pictures of Ellis at two months old:

Meet the Family!

Ellis's cousin, Noelia, was born exactly one week before her.  Two new babies right before Christmas!  We finally had a chance to introduce them a couple of weekends ago at Nanna and Papaw's house.   It will be so fun to have the two girls grow up together and it won't be too long before they are playing (and getting into trouble, I'm sure) ...till then, they just stare, cry, and sleep.

Brian got a few great pics of Ellis and me.

This past weekend, we went to San Antonio to celebrate Grandmommy's birthday!  What a treat for Ellis to finally meet her great-grandparents and the rest of the family.  Happy Birthday, Grandmommy!

All the great-grandbabies!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day!

Good Morning Happy Girl!

Ellis is Miss Fussy most evenings (some folks call this the "witching hour," or in our case "hours"), and last night was no exception.  Screaming, crying, refusing to eat...total meltdown.  Then voila, she wakes up this morning happy as can be.  I just can't get enough of her smile!  Here are some precious faces from this morning...

And here is she is discovering her hand last night during bathtime (pre-meltdown).  It is amazing how much she changes each day and I love to watch her discover new things.  Hello, world.

Six Weeks Old

Yesterday was Ellis's six-week birthday and check-up.  Here are her stats:

Height:  21" (28th percentile...shorty takes after her Mommy)
Weight:  9 lb 7 oz (40th percentile)
Head:  15" (59th percentile)

She is a healthy girl and growing like a weed!

One Month Old...

 She loves to eat.  This is her just after a meal, totally relaxed.

Scot thinks she looks like a drunken convict.

But she does not always love tummy time.
