Elle - 2 months

Sweet sweet girl. We love you so.

You love to sleep as long as you are swaddled tight and either in your crib on the boppy pillow with another pillow cradling your legs ( a mock swing that I made up in your crib) or in your swing. You love to breastfeed most but take bottles good from your daddy and your aunties. You have done one stretch of sleep at night for 8 hours but usually you go about 4-5 hours at night. You have a new found dislike for your car rides and will scream until you fall asleep...which makes for long car rides for Walker and I. You started putting weight on your legs and standing while we hold you - daddy calls it your "exercise time". Walker still loves you so much and asks daily if we can keep you. Sadly, you have already been sick - a cold caught from mom, dad and Walker but were such a champ during it. You are still a spitter - but it doesn't seem to bother you. You love your pink Soothie pacifiers and use one to go to sleep for all naps and nighttime. You started smiling and now smile all the time - especially right after you wake up in the morning after your first feeding. You also have a little giggle that you do sometimes when you are smiling. You grunt when you are hungry and I am not getting it to you fast enough! :)

We love you sweet girl - you have completed our little family and we can't imagine it without you!
