5 weeks old and counting

This week has been full of fun. Last weekend we had our first Christmas party where we hung out with very pregnant Aunt Jen and friend Charlotte who is 3 months old. Sunday was Grandpa Angelo's birthday. This week we visited Daddy at the office. He was so proud to show off Ellia. She was a big hit! She is growing so much and nearly out of all her newborn cloths. She allowed mommy to finally get up the Christmas decorations and mail out the Christmas cards this week as well. Daddy also had daughter bonding time this week so mommy could do some shopping. This weekend mom and dad hope to have a date night! Enjoy some pictures from this past week.

One Month Old!

Ellia is one month old this week! Hard to believe. She had her one month check up and weights 10lbs. 11oz and is now 21 3/4 inches long. She is in the 75th percentile. Her coordination skills are developing more and more as she follows objects and tries to focus in on peoples faces. This past week we had Great Grandma Angelo's birthday, visited Grandma Ollis and Aunt Jen at work, went to the mall and to target. Here ares some pictures from this past week. Vader even helped watch Ellia with Daddy.

3 Weeks Old!

Ellia is 3 weeks old already. I keep thinking back to when she was born and how much she has changed. Here are some pictures during her "pleasant" time. Pleasant is in quotes because they don't last too long!

First Thanksgiving!

Ellia's first Thanksgiving was a hit! From the pictures it looks like she ate too much turkey. Mommy and her even adventured out on black Friday. We went out to the mall with Grandma Ollis, Aunt Jen, and cousin Alex. Surrounding shoppers ooh'd and ahh'd over her. It was really good for Mommy to get out of the house for awhile. Hope everyone had a good Holiday.

2 Weeks Old!

Well Ellia is now 2 weeks old! She is growing bigger each day and changing into her own little person. She has taken a bottle already and her belly button is almost all the way healed. She as also gone to Giant Eagle and Target too! Kevin went back to work on Tuesday and I am trying to get used to being on my own with her. Here are some pictures from the past week. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and I will send some pictures of Ellia on her first Turkey day.

One Week Old

Well yesterday at 2:37pm, we have had Ellia for one whole week! It is going by so fast and she is growing so much already. We took her to the doctors to see if she made it back to her birth weight and she exceeded that weight. She now weighs 9 lbs 2 oz. She is doing really well with feedings and getting better at night with sleeping 3 hours before needing a feeding. She has been cranky though the last couple of days and her little temper comes out more and more. It makes Kevin and I smile. What a little individual she is. Here are some pictures from the past couple of days. Hope everyone is doing well.
