Ella 5-6 weeks!

Ok, I'm already getting bad. I skipped week 4, but I'm going to try to get better! Ella is still doing great! She loves her swing and she's starting to smile on command (look below). Her last visit at the doctor was last Friday. Her percentiles have changed a little. Height is 75%, weight is 25% and head is 50%.

Our baby girl is growing so fast. Brian said she needed to start sleeping in her own room, so last night was her first night in the crib. I was sad, but I guess at some point she's gotta move out :(. Her sleeping habits are really great at night. There were two nights that she slept from 10-5 and then 5:30-8, but her usual schedule is from 10-3, 3:20-6 and then 6:20ish-9. I definitely feel well rested.

She also loves our nightly walks in the stroller and riding in the car. I think we are REALLY lucky for that because a lot of babies scream when they're in their car seat.

She goes back to the orthopedist this Thursday to get her hip checked. I'm hoping the dysplasia is doing better, but even if she has to wear her harness longer, there is no surgery involved!

She brightens up my days and life. I couldn't imagine my life without her now. I love staying home with her.

This was taken on Saturday, July 18th. I took it myself with her in my arms. That's why it's completely off centered, but we caught her smiling!!!

She still has blue eyes!

I really don't hold her that much!

Sleepy time in her swing!

This is at 5 weeks, trying out her crib!

Her little polo outfit that Grandma had to get her!

Right after bathtime. She LOVES the bath and hates getting out!

Sleepy time with daddy! I love this picture!
