Elle Marie: One Month Old!

Elle is officially one month old!!

Age: 1 Month

Weight: 8 pounds 12 ounces- which is what Jack weighed when he was BORN! Lol!  She is in the 25th percentile for weight, 90th for height, and 50th for head size

Eye & Hair Color: Black & blue eyes

New "Thing": She can focus on our faces, follow our voices with her head, and raises one eyebrow when we do something she's not used to- we call it her "Dr. Evil" look LOL  

Likes: Nursing with Mommy, sleeping on fur blankets in the front of the fire, taking baths with Jackson, sitting in her bouncer on the counter while Jack has his meals in his highchair

Dislikes: Her swing

Mommy Likes: Is there anything not to love about a new baby?  I love how small she is, I never had the experience of having such a little thing, and I love that she's a little Girl; of course two boys would have been fun as well, I'm still pinching myself that we have one of each!

Sleeps: 2-3 hours at night and of course a lot during the day, and she loves to sleep on me on night between feedings

Changes in Mood:  she has established a "witching hour" from 6-8pm now that we are working on a bedtime routine

Eating:   BFing every 2-3 hours with a little supplementing

Clothes:  Still in NB clothes! She's so tiny I love it : )

Looking forward to:  sleeping more at night when she drops one of her feedings!  Although I don't mind waking up with her at night at all, just so tired...we are beyond blessed and so lucky to have Elle in our lives!

Thanksgiving Weekend 2014

Turkey, stomach flus and snow....all in a 4-day weekend!  We spent Thanksgiving with "Nana & Bobbo" this year, followed by a Black Friday puking rally from Jack, Saturday day trip up to the mountain with family & friends for the Civil War game, and football ALL day Sunday!  Here are our favorite pics from the weekend, no sick kid ones included : )

Christmas Card Shoot & Elle is 2 weeks old!

Ok these past two weeks have flown by- Elle has dropped weight to 6.5 pounds which makes her the tiniest little girl ever!  I love to hold her and I would all day long if Jackson would allow it : )  The day after Halloween we had our Christmas card shoot.....it was SO easy with a newborn and toddler....said No one ever.  Let's just say I'm looking forward to photoshoots when they are a little older and can cooperate a little more.....Elle is also two weeks old!   

....this past week in pictures....
