Week 6

Loves laying on her daddy

Trying to get in any last minute uses of her newborn outfits

Sweet dreams

Ellie's first night with a babysitter (Auntie Em) and mommy and daddy's first night out

Ellie is growing like crazy, it seems lately. Sometimes, I think back to when she was first born and how tiny she is. When people first meet Ellie they comment on how tiny she is which makes me laugh because she has gotten so big from when she was first born. Adam came home to visit for a few days which was wonderful. I was able to use him during the nightime which was nice. We are still working on nightime sleep. She is currently sleeping in a mini pack n' play which she has clearly almost outgrown or she is just too much of a wiggle worm because she always ends up waking herself up in the middle of the night because she turns and becomes perpendicular to the edges. So it might be time to start testing out the crib. As much as I am dreading having her out of our room, I know it might be time. Although, I think she is secretly waking herself up becaue she knows if mommy and daddy are tired enough they will put her in bed with them and sleep. Not the best situation, but when you are running on no sleep, anything that works is worth it. She loves cudding in my arms or laying right next to me and falling asleep. I can usually ger her to sleep until 9ish when that happens. She is still smiling alittle, I am sure in the next week or so she will be giving smiles right and left. She has outgrown her newborn clothes if I haven't aleady mentioned in previous posts and also has moved up to size 1 diapers. She is very inquisitive with things and has started really focusing in on things.
