15 weeks old...these pictures were taken Sunday, a day before she turned 15 weeks old. She is wearing a new outfit that she got from our friends, the Kalanys. She can now sit in the walker or exersaucer if we put a blanket in to fill the extra space and help support her. She loves watching her brother, and it makes her smile. She is sleeping well at night, sometimes waking once to eat but otherwise sleeping about 11 hours (going 12 hours without eating). She is getting talkative too, making lots of fun sounds.

Ellery is three months old! Ellery is already three months old, and here are a couple pictures from the weekend. She is starting to smile more and more, so we got a few happy pictures this time. Her aunt Erika came to visit for an afternoon while she was in Atlanta, so we snapped a picture of the two of them together.

Ellery's trip to Huntsville...not that she had a clue what was going on, but we went to Huntsville Alabama to visit her great great aunt and uncle and saw the space museum. But she slept through some of it and didn't know what was going on the rest of the time!

Ellery's Christmas...not that she knew what was going on, but Ellery seemed to do well at Noni and Lito's house and enjoyed her time with family friends, the Kalanys. She stayed awake during the Christmas Eve service and didn't fuss too terribly much. She has started sleeping through the night, going 12 hours between feedings. She eats some nights, but mommy is glad for some full nights of sleep.

Christmas is coming, and Ellery is all smiles! Here are a few pictures from a get together with Anthony's family and Ellery in her Christmas outfits. Too bad she wasn't smiling a couple weeks ago when we took the Christmas card photo, but now we can get some smiley pictures. She also slept through the night twice this week (eating at 7 and making it until 6:30 or 7 AM) so that is her gift to mama for Christmas!

Two month pictures...Ellery is now smiling as you can see from some of the pictures. She is doing a litle better at sleeping at night, eating at 7 PM, going to bed around 8, waking at three-ish to eat, and then making it until a little after 7 AM. She went to the doctor a few days ago, and she weighed 12 lbs 6 oz. Elan didn't weigh that until he was three months old, so she is a month ahead of where he was. But he also didn't seem to need to eat as often!

First bath and first dress...Ellery is 6 weeks old today. These pictures were taken yesterday when we dressed her in her first dress and gave her the first bath. Last week (at 5 weeks) she went to the doctor and weighed 10 lbs 2 oz. That was nearly four pounds of growth in 5 weeks, so you can see why she looks so chubby in the pictures! Maybe she'll give mommy a break and slow down on the eating soon!
