One Month Old!

So our little Ellie is already one month old! I can't believe how fast its gone. We have our 1-month well check-up next week so we'll know how much she has grown then, but I can attest that she has gotten bigger (especially her head!). She is following her toys with her eyes and head now. And she mimics me when I stick out my tongue at her or purse my lips together, seriously!

She is still pretty mellow and I don't hesitate to take her with me wherever I need or want to go. On Wednesday it was in the 60s in Boston so I put her in the baby carrier and we took a long walk around the neighborhood and did some grocery shopping. She isn't a fan of sitting in her car seat, unless the seat is in the car and is moving. Her eyelashes are growing longer and her hair is getting more blonde (she actually has reverse roots), but she still doesn't have very visible eyebrows (they are just really blonde).

Nick being back to work seems to be going well. He is still getting up at 4am and changing Ellie's diaper before her feeding. I have no idea how exhausted he is at work, but he isn't complaining.

Thank you to everyone for the lovely gifts and well wishes!

Yesterday I took probably close to two hundred photos of Ellie. She wasn't really excited about the photo shoots in the morning, but in the evening she relaxed a little bit and we got some good pictures. Enjoy!

(see, she wasn't really enjoying the morning photo shoot...)

This is a photo of her tummy time on my stomach, this is the view I get to see all the time!

A very exhausted Nick stayed up to watch the Illini in the NCAA. Too bad we were the 5-12 upset this year...

Oh yeah, Happy Spring! Too bad its like 35 degrees out here in Boston.
