What a month! Elle continues to be a happy and sweet baby. She is becoming more and more social and loves to interact with anyone she locks eyes with. Nursing now takes a little longer because she wants to look up at me and chat every minute or so. I love it!
A few things from this month:
-Elle caught a cold along with a cough. She let me suction her nose out with no problem... in fact, she smiled through it all!
-We thought she contracted Pink Eye in her left eye, but after a visit to the walk-in clinic we were relieved to discover it was only a clogged tear duct.
-Elle is obsessed with her hands! She chews and sucks on them every chance she gets.
-She hasn't fully giggled yet, but they are just below the surface! We are having a lot of fun playing and trying to get them out!
-Elle can be very upset and crying, but the minute we go to her she is all smiles!
Getting BIG!
Grace and Elle are becoming great friends! Grace asks for Elle the minute she sees me. She loves to hold her, help change her diaper, and always makes sure she has her socks, hat, and pacifier.
Elle loves the Bumbo!
A rare picture with me!
Tummy time, trying to sit up in the swing, and kicking out of her pj's!
Reece now loves Elle! Once she started smiling and chatting with him he was sold!
Reece ran to get me saying "Uh oh!" and this is how I found Elle. When I asked him what happened, he showed me...
...how he helped her roll over. Such a nice big brother (I need to watch him much closer now that he loves her!).
We tried a photo shoot on the rocking chair, and I got a good first picture. Elle loves to arch her back and stretch out - and this is what happened:
The floor is a much better place to take a picture... for now!
Elle's hair after our photo shoot. It's a little crazy these days!
Sawyer and Dakota decorated our dessert pies. TTara brought a snowman craft for the kids while they waited for dinner (genius!).
