Almost 3 months!

Ellie is almost 3 months!
Here are some pictures from our weekend!

A few firsts...

This month Ellie had her first restaurant experience (at the Kutztown Tavern), her first real giggle (it gave her the hiccups), her first real grasps for toys, and her first dinner at our dinner table with her new high chair seat (she didn't eat, but we did). I had my first Mother's Day, and this little girl is the best present I've ever gotten!
This month has had its ups and downs, but in Ellie's mind it's been great, Mommy gets to stay home longer to take care of her! Luckily, the weather has been very nice so we've been able to take lots of walks, and we have been able to get out and see family and friends.

2 months!

Ellie had her 2 month doctor's visit this week. She now weighs 11 lbs 6 oz, and is 22 inches long. She did great at the doctor's, I felt so bad she had to get a shot in each thigh though. Sleeping at night time is getting much better, she has gone 6 hours a few times but still usually wakes up every 3-4 hours. When she does wake up she goes right back to sleep after she eats. Brad and I have been trying to get her used to taking a bottle, it hasn't been easy, hopefully she'll start to accept it soon!


She doesn't really like tummy time when she's flat on the ground, but when she's leaning over her boppy she lifts her head up very well.
Ellie's favorite toy right now is her mirror, she loves to look at herself.
