Our Sweet Baby Girl at 4 weeks!


Elle is one month old, and I cannot believe how time flies! I tear up thinking about my maternity leave already being 1/3 of the way over with (no, my hormones haven't stabilized yet - just ask poor BJ! ). I just never knew I could love something this much! It is so fun to watch her grow everyday. I can honestly say that I believe Elle is a great baby. She hardly ever cries. We are in the process of getting her on a schedule, and she is adapting pretty well (we are all sleeping in 4-5 hour stretches at night now!). I just wanted to share some of Elle's little characteristics that make her sooo sweet at one month:

1.) She is always grunting and squeaking. She has done this since the day she was born, and it still makes us laugh out loud everytime!



2.) She LOVES to eat.... I guess she didn't have a chance with BJ and me being her parents! When she takes her bottle, she drinks it slowly and savors every last bit of it.

3.) BJ and I joke that she may possibly have a mullet soon. The hair on the back of her head is growing faster than the rest. As my brother puts it... it's all business in the front and party in the back!

4.) Her favorite position is lying on your chest - especially if it is her daddy's!

5.) We believe she is going to have her daddy's blue eyes! Her eyes have gotten so much lighter these last few weeks.

6.) She loves to: swing, watch her mobile in her pack n' play, take baths (we call this her spa treatment) and most of all, sit in her bouncer seat!

7.) She could not live without her pacifier! I dread the day we have to take it away...


8.) She has had a very strong neck since the day she was born. We think she will be able to hold her head up soon!

9.) She is finally wearing newborn clothes after her 3 week growth spurt. We actually had to go out and by her preemie clothes after she was born (no one warned me of this!) She is almost ready to get out of her newborn size diapers, too.

10.) Her dirty diaper pose:

Our Little Snow Baby!

Elle got to experience her first snow yesterday! It snowed a couple of inches here in Franklin, which doesn't happen that often. Doesn't it look like she is having a blast ? ;) She may not have been old enough to play, but a least she looked cute in her snow gear!


Isn't this the cutest snow baby you have ever seen? :)
