I am feeling like the weeks are flying by since Ellie has arrived even more so now with me really delving into Stella & Dot part-time....there isn't enough hours in the day. I honestly thought me staying home, I would be able to get a ton done...not so much. The closets that were organized when I was nesting is now disheveled and I can barely keep track of the laundry.
But Ellie is doing amazing. Sleeping like I said has been a struggle even with Adam coming home. But today we did have a 2 hour nap in her crib all by herself...thank the lord. Because Ellie's baptism is this week and I ended up getting mastitis so I was out of commission for a few days. Ellie is laughing up a storm and loves it when we bury our head into her tummy or when we give her kisses on her neck. She has he cutest little giggle and every once in awhile will let a shriek out. So stinkn' cute. In the morning, she sits in her bumbo and we make Adam's lunch for him.
One of my most favorite times lately to watch Ellie is when we are running errands and she in that in between state of almost falling alseep and she seems so peaceful and is just watching out the window...I always am wondering what she is thinking.
Ellie also has learned how to work it in the cute deparment. She will be whining in her crib and as soon as we walk in to check on her, she stops crying or whining and will give this big gummy grin and wave her arms around.
Ellie had her 4 month check up and has bumped herself up to the 50% in weight...she weighed 13lbs and 13 oz. She was also introduced to alittle rice cereal in her bottle in the evening since I am not producing as much milk because of my mastitis. She doesn't seem to mind it. This weekend we will attempt giving her some with a spoon.
We also had Ellie's baptism at our church, All Saints. It was a beautiful ceremony even if the priest kept calling Adam Marc for some reason. Jackie, my sister and Adam's brother, Matthew are Ellie's godparents. She wore the gown that I wore when I was baptised. It was a gorgeous day out and we were so lucky to have all of our friends and family to celebrate. More pictures to come from this day.
Best invention ever...Mom used to put me in a laundry basket with pillows and I loved it so I tried with Ellie....it's amazing. As we speak she has been entertained in it for 45 minutes while I catch up with this blog
