Many Faces of Ella

We took Ella to the Waukesha County Fair last week with Tony's Family, she loved it. She was awake practically the whole time. She loved looking at all the lights in the midway. We all couldn't stop watching her because she had sooo many different facial expressions, we were all cracking up. I thought I would share some of the pictures with you.

Sleeping Baby...

A quick update on Ella! She is doing great! Ella has been in her crib for about 2 weeks now and she is taking the change like a CHAMP! We are putting her to bed around 9pm every night! She doesn't fall asleep right away but she will just talk to herself in her crib until she does. Most nights she has been sleeping from 9pm-3:30 or 4am, then I feed her and she goes right back to sleep. She'll wake up again at around 6 or 7am eat and go to sleep for another couple of hours. Some nights though she will sleep from 9pm-6am and then feed and go back to sleep until like 8 or 9am. We couldn't be more happier for that. We are hoping it stays this way.

We've still been having a great summer. I'm soaking everything in because I will be going back to work in less than 5 weeks. Ella will be 6 weeks tomorrow, that's hard to believe.

We hope everything is going well for everyone.

Take Care!

One Month Appointment

Ella had an EXCELLENT one month appointment!!

Stats:
Current Weight: 8lbs 6oz- she is up 1lb 2oz since her 2 week appointment
Info: 50th percentile for Weight, Height and Head
Sleeping: Pediatrician said we don't need to wake her at night for feedings, YAYAYA!!!!! She can now eat every 3 hours instead of every 2.

The first night that we didn't need to wake her she slept from 11pm-7am. The second night she slept from 10pm-5:30am and then went back to sleep until 8am. Also we had her sleep in her crib for the first time on Saturday night. She did great! She is awake when we put her in there but she just talks to herself until she falls asleep...she is such a smart baby, we are so proud of her!

I'm a little sad though because she is growing so fast and I don't want her too. She has start to smirk at us, but we are waiting for the big smiles. The doctor said she should be smiling more at us in the next week.

Her next appointment is in August for her 2 month check-up.

Our Little Girl Is ONE Month Old!!!!

I can't believe my little girl is one month TODAY! She is truly a blessing. She is such a good baby, Tony and I have adjusted very well to her being here. She has changed so much in one month. If I could let her sleep through the night I would, but the doctor still wanted us to wake and feed her during the night. On Friday we go for her one month check up so hopefully the doctor will give us the go ahead to let her sleep during the night. When Ella is awake she is so active and alert. She loves to just look around and move her arms and legs. We try to put her on her stomach twice a day to help her practice lifting her head. Ella and I are enjoying the summer, I can pretty much take her any where with no problem or crying. She loves riding in the car and going for walks. She is truly the light of our lives and we can't explain how much we love her.

My friend Kristy went back to work today, which was really sad for me because we spent a lot of time together while we were both off. Ella and Madison are already best friends, below you will see in some pictures. We really enjoyed spending time with Kristy and Madison!

We hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!!
