Week 2 Highlights


As each day passes, our little girl continues to steal our hearts! 
Her second week of life was full of fun milestones:

Ellery started "tummy time" and seems to love it especially when she has her black and white books to look at.  
Since babies at her age see best in black and white contrasts, "Lou Lou" gifted her with lots of newborn black and white books and picture cards.  
It's amazing how well they hold her attention!

We took Elle back to the doctor to check weight gain and she now weighs 7lbs 3 oz!  The doctors were impressed with what a good eater she is!  

She not only loves her food but ADORES her sleep!  She got the green light from the doctor to sleep 4-5 hour stretches at night!  And she does!  We are so grateful for a good sleeper. 


She even slept through a visit to Mom's school {after the kids were gone} to meet the teachers!

Mom and Dad had their first date night since Elle was born.  She was in wonderful hands with Mimi and Grandpa Wes!  She entertained them for hours with faces like this:

We love her expressiveness!!




Our little girl loves the outdoors.  We take daily walks (when it's not TOO cold out there.)  S
he loves looking up at the gorgeous Carolina blue sky from her bassinet.  


Bath time, though, is still a family favorite!   
Ellery isn't quite splashing around yet; but she loves watching the water {as long as it's WARM!}
This girl does not love the cold!

Week 3 is a big deal in Elle's little life - she celebrates her FIRST Thanksgiving and gets to meet her Aunt Belle and Uncle Mattie!! 
We can't wait :)

Happy Thanksgiving!! 

Love,
Michael, Emily & Elle
