Boy, How Quick They Change!

Well Ellie is now almost 11 weeks old. "They" say that everything changes at 3 months old, so we are getting there, not quick enough. Although I have to say things are getting easier as the days go by. She can somewhat entertain herself. She is sleeping better, although not last night... She seems like she is getting more into a pattern. I have the great pleasure to do some babysitting tonight. Stacy has to go to a meeting. Stacy has been trying to work at home and at the same time take care of Elliott. She is doing a way better job than I would. She is a great multi-tasker. We went to the doctors about two weeks ago and she was weighing in around 10 lbs (I think, probably need to remember these things).

I have been trying to remember to take more pictures. Most of the time I forget. I get home from work and get going on our "pattern" of food, taking care of Ellie (somewhat) while Stacy gets some work done, then sleep. So not much time for (or time to think about) pictures. But here are a couple of shots taken in the past couple of days. Enjoy.

Just after getting her diapers changed.


Concentrating on a "movement"....

I had to get one of her crying. Seems like all the pictures that we download of Ellie is of her smiling and being happy. Well believe it or not, she is not always that way, especially when she gets into her car seat.


Dazed and Confused



She loves her baths. And loves to have a warm blanket to wrap up in (Stacy insists on putting the blanket in the dryer before Ellie gets out of the tub).

More Updates and Pictures Soon, I Promise.

I have been trying to get Stacy to join the "excitement" of adding to our blog site. I think she has been busy, not sure what with.....


Anyways, I will be downloading some more pictures soon. It seems like our/my free time has dissappeared. From working, playing with Ellie, trying to keep the yard/barn cleaned, and battling bats (yes we have had a vistor last week), my time is spoken for.


Some updates (text version) regarding our little girl. She has been doing well. It is amzing how quick they change and how they start notincing things. Ellie seems to be getting the hang of how a 24 Hr time period works. The sleep pattern is becomgin just that, more of a pattern.


I do have to run, should have started this entry a bit sooner. More will come I promise.


I do want to instert one picture. Just made me smile (because it is true...)

OK, OK, OK......

This time no captions...seems people just like to look at the pictures.

I guess this would be her one month pictures. People ask if the first month has flown by. This is my answer. If you take it as a whole and look back, it has gone very fast. BUT...if you take it night by night at 200am-400am, it sometimes feels like she should be a teenager by now.

One side note, the other cute little baby in the picture is Ellie's cousin Owen (Stacy's brother Doug's son). We had a pretty eventful weekend up at Silver Lake this past weekend. Thanks again to Neil and Katie (and Katie's parents) for the hospitality. Again, some of my costumers asked if I had a relaxing weekend...? Well, it was fun and the weather was beautiful. However on the weekends I get to wake up and take my turn with Ellie. So it seems like I took a couple more naps than normal this weekend.

Anyways enough with the boring chatter, bring on the princess...
