Eight full hours!!!

Sweet Little Ellie,

You are amazing!! Last night you slept from 11pm ALL the way till 7am!! Yippee! I heard you at 7am and could not believe it was already light outside. I was so proud of you! We have been working really hard to keep you awake during the day and making sure you had enough to eat to last the whole night... and you did it!

You are more alert than ever and we love it! Your brother could never stay awake like you can. You are going to be full of energy! You are going to live life to the fullest. You are a going to be our sunshine girl!

We love you little sunshine girl!

Love,

Starting to Smile

Sweet Little Ellie,

You have been smiling since the day you were born. You are a smiley girl! We have so many great pictures of you smiling, smiling, smiling. You are so precious!

But for the most part, your smiles have been here and there with no real rhyme or reason... until today. I picked you up from your crib this morning, kissed your forehead and snuggled you close like I do every morning. When I looked down you were smiling. I sat down with you and tickled your little chin and began talking to you... you continued to smile. I could not believe it! You are only a month old and are giving full blown, purposeful smiles.

You are so full of expression... we always know what you are thinking by the look on your cute little face. When I try to give you a binkie and you don't want it, you spit it out and give me a look of disgust. When you are tired you will flash your half smile that says, I love you.

Your smiles mean the world to us...

Much love,

Mom

Luscious Lashes

Sweet Little Ellie,

When you were born you had gorgeous little eye lashes. But just recently they have thickened up noticeably and you, little one, have luscious lashes! They are thick and dark and seem to look longer everyday. You are so lucky! Right now your eyes are crystal blue and with your dark hair you are such a beauty. In fact, people comment every where we go what a beauty you are. You are a little china doll... so beautiful, so perfect!

Your face is filling out and your little cheeks are just so kissable... but you are still so tiny. You are still wearing newborn clothes because everything else is just too big on you...

Little girl with a very big spirit, we love you so much!

XOXO

Mom
