I cannot believe that my sweet Ella is 2 months old now! Why must time go by so fast? I already miss a new, new baby.... I decided that every month I am going to document what she has been up to...
We took her yesterday to get her shots and have her 2 month well child check. I just love our pediatrician!! Dr. Barhorst has been Hannah, Mady's, and now Ella's doctor. She knows our family and definitely knows how drama filled my girls are, she is so great with them. Ella did so well at her appointment. I'm not one to brag BUT she did say she was PERFECT!!! She now weighs 10 lbs. 12 1/2 oz and is 23 inches long.... She cried when she got her shots, I made Tracy hold her and then I swooped in for the rescue! Poor thing...
I went to get her out of bed this morning and I found her in only her diaper... She had wiggled and squirmed her way out of her gown and blanket... There she was laying in her crib naked with just a diaper at one end and at the other end of the crib was her blanket and gown...She is such a little Houdini!!
She loves to be sung to. Right now her favorite song is You Are My Sunshine...
She has started to suck her thumb this week! I think this is so cute but Tracy insists that we should really stop it before it gets worse!! I think I'll let her suck it for just a bit longer....
She smiles like crazy and giggles and coos at us now... It is the stinkin' cutest thing ever!! I just love her!! In fact yesterday she was laying down by me and I could hear her cooing and giggling... but she wasn't looking at me! She was looking over to the other side and definitely having a conversation with someone!! And they were making her giggle and smile!! I think that the veil is so thin for these sweet, sweet heaven sent babies! I looked at Tracy and said maybe she is talking to your grandpa and then he said maybe she is talking to your sister! Then he said maybe she is talking to her sister and I said or her brother!!! We were talking about the baby that we lost 2 1/2 years ago. Oh.. how I can't wait to meet him or her one day!
For right now I am just going to enjoy every little thing that my girls will bring into our lives! Being a mother is such a hard job! Your never prepared or ready for this journey and I just hope that I will always try my best and together we will have a pretty amazing family!! My girls mean the world to me and I love them soooo much!!! Heavenly Father has been good to us! We have been blessed beyond what we deserve!
