Two Weeks of Parenthood

Here we are, more than two weeks of parenthood. I think the hardest part is getting a hat on a sleeping Ellie. We are really lucky with her. She keeps a pretty tight schedule and hardly ever cries (I'm knocking on wood right now). If she does cry its usually because we are changing her diaper.


This week was exciting. Ellie experienced her first City of Boston snow emergency on monday. We actually moved her doctors appointment to tuesday because we didn't want to drive with the snowstorm and semi-plowed streets. Tuesday at her two-week appointment, we learned she was in the 50th percentile for weight and head circumference and in the 60th percentile for length. We let Ellen know that this may be one of the few times she will be above the 50th percentile for height in her life so she should enjoy it.

On Friday we went out to lunch! I can't tell you how excited I was to go out to eat. She did really well sleeping through the whole meal.

Its amazing how much she has changed from when she was born. She is still adorable and still has dimples!

In adult news, I got my Professional Engineer license certificate in the mail. Its official! I have the stamp and the certificate now.

Enjoy the photos!

In the photo above Ellie is wearing a dress that was mine that my mom saved. Its polyester, totally 80s!!

She is sound asleep, seriously. She gets the biggest smiles (and dimples) while she is sleeping. I only wish I knew what made her so happy!!

So glad to hear you are all doing well! Hopefully Ellie has slowed down on her eating a little bit for you. It looks like she had a fun first outing, too! :)

I gotta think two great parents is the reason she's so smiley... even in her sleep. She's beautiful guys.

Am I the first one to think that Ellie looks like Mickey Mouse in her infant seat?
