Celebrations and other one month stuff

In the Vietnamese culture after a baby is approximately one-month old, there is a party to celebrate the baby’s one-month birthday. My parents hosted Ellie's the party for the Vietnamese side of our family to meet and celebrate Ellie.



This month Ellie has been smiling so much! And has even given us the occasional laugh (or high pitch shriek). It's been great that the weather has been warmer so I've been able to take Ellie out a lot more. She usually sleeps on our walks. Today we brought Ellie to Quiet Waters Park for the SPCA Walk for the Animals. We were really testing her patience since we were out for a few hours, but we got to take a nice walk and see some friends! Here are a few other pictures I've taken this month.

One Month Tomorrow!

Has it already been a month?!? We had our 4 week well-baby visit today. Ellie is now 9 lbs 5 oz! She's doing great! We were told to wait until Ellie was a month old to take her out to public places. We took our first trip to the grocery store on Tuesday, Ellie did great, she was intrigued by her surroundings and then fell asleep. This weekend we're taking our first trip to PA with Ellie. We are going to visit family and Brad has a race to run on Saturday. More updates later!
