8 weeks old

Well it has been 3 weeks since my last blog. The holidays have come and gone so fast. Ellia is also changing so much. She has her 2 month old check up next Monday. I am sure she is around 12 lbs by now. It is amazing how alert she is for a 2 month old. She holds her head up almost 90% of the time and seems to want to talk to us. She smiles, coos and we swear she says hi back to us when we talk to her. Christmas eve we spent with the Angelo's. She wore her Christmas dress and her outfits letting everyone know it was her "first" Christmas. Christmas day was spent with my side of the family. However my dad was taken to the emergency room due to shortness of breath. We thought he had pneumonia again, then the doctors said he may have had congestive heart failure. He didn't come home to New Years Eve and has to be on oxygen. Please keep him in your prayers. Daddy also got Ellia her first set of diamond earrings for Christmas! I guess he is okay with me getting her ears pierced soon. New Years Eve we had a wedding for Kevin's cousin. Kevin did a reading and Ellia just took the whole night in. I hope all of you had a good Christmas and New Years. Here are some fun pictures from the past 3 weeks.

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!
