1 MONTH OLD

Our Little Ellie Girl

Weight: 9 lbs 8 oz

Slept 6 hrs straight last night! Wooohooo!

LOVES to lay on the floor and look around

Loves bedtime SONGS with big brother Gavin

Spits up ALL THE TIME :)

Gavin wanted to read baby Ellie a book about an elephant named Ellie!


Content to just check out the world


Big brother loves giving his little sister kisses


Don't they look comfy?!


Sleeping with her arms up just like Gavin did!


I can't believe our little girl is already 1 month old! Boy, the time has flown by. I am enjoying life a lot more these days. Those first few weeks of breastfeeding were difficult and having a sore bum is no fun either. But we made it through with the help of my wonderful mom Veniece and mother-in-law Launa. Ellie's colic is a little better now that we found a binky she likes and have started giving her colic medicine. Gavin is adjusting and the tantrums and acting out have lessened.

We have such beautiful, wonderful, amazing children!
I just can't get enough!

It gets easier day by day. She sure is a cutie. You'd never know she spits up all the time with those adorable cheeks! You DO have beautiful kiddos. Life is the BEST with kids!

Jen-I'm so glad you found our blog! I quit my job when we moved and I was bummed I didn't save blog addresses. Ellie is gorgeous! Such a different experience giving birth huh?! Your kids are so adorable and you all look so happy. I would love to know the name of the book you read to help Gavin sleep through the night better. I'm so nervous about giving up the crib for Austin:) We hope to head back to AZ one day and would love to meet up with you guys again! Hope you are getting some sleep. Two is so different than one child;)
