My Darling

Happy Girl!

Today has been a very sleepy day! Nick and I feel like we have hardly seen Elle because she has pretty much been asleep ALL day! We missed her! We did however, get to enjoy our happy Elle tonight for awhile. She finished eating and was all smiles until she went back to sleep! ( as you can see, she even smiles in her sleep!)
She keeps us smiling!
Well, all the frames are taken down and our kitchen cabinets are emptied ( well, the food we don't eat). Getting excited!

Lucky

We are SO lucky to have Elle! She is such a good little girl. Since she was about 5 days old she has basically been sleeping through the night...well the past couple days we can lay her in her bassinet when she is getting sleepy and she falls right asleep. Part of me wants her rock her still....but the other part is so proud of her that she is independent enough and feels safe enough to fall asleep on her own. She is smiling tons now! Mainly after she EATS....she LOVES to eat. She is also finding her voice....she will make sounds....stop as if she just realized it came from her...and make the same sound again. She has also screamed twice. Once while I was taking too long setting up for her dinner....and another time at Nick for no good reason at all. It is pretty funny! She is just perfect and we love her so much!!!

FUNNY story....I was on the phone with our leasing agent the other day, who is on Spokane...and I was asking her if we could install our own ceiling fans to cut down on utility costs ( we have our own fans installed in our apartment now). Well, she said no and told us we could just use floor fans. I asked her how hot it has been and she said..." Well, today was a warm one, the high was 81." HA...she actually honestly said that was WARM!!! I laughed at her and told her that was our winter...and I haven't been worried about the bills since. :)

Happy One Month Birthday!!!

WOW....Elle is one month old today! She has spent her special day sleeping and playing with her friends ( the sheep and the polar bears...we still need to name them). She is getting so big! She is smiling A LOT more. She just lights up when Nick gets home from work. By that time, she is done with mommy and ready for her daddy!
We are busy getting little things done here and there for the move. Our apartment is set and ready to move into. B116 here we come! :) I have been checking the weather everyday and it looks like it is a little cooler than Tucson...okay...A LOT cooler!


Happy One Month Birthday Elle!

Beautiful

I have seen this on face book and other friends blogs...but never opened it until today. WOW....it is amazing and made my heart fill with even MORE love ( if that is even possible) for my little Elle. I love being a Mother.

Elle

Wow...time flies when you have a baby. Elle will be 1 month old on Monday. She is doing GREAT! Weighing in at 9 lbs 15 oz, she is growing beautifully and healthy! She is sleeping through the night for the most part, with a couple feedings slipped in of course! :)
She is very advanced for her age. She is holding her head all the way up by herself, kicking off people and rolling over to her side sometimes. She is starting to smile more at Nick and myself...which is just adorable!
We are so blessed to have Elle in our family. She has brought so much joy into my life, as well as Nick's. We just sit and stare at her, STILL, I don't think it will ever stop!
The move is quickly coming upon us! About 3 more weeks to go and we will be in Spokane for at least the next 3 years. We are really excited to start this new chapter in our lives!!!
