With just a week before Ellie is five months old, she’s growing and changing at a rapid rate. She has the most expressive baby face I’ve had in a baby, and we thoroughly enjoy watching her expressions. A few for your enjoyment… There’s the “that toy looks fun” face…. the slightly worried face, the […]
In review: our last few weeks.
Before we went on vacation, the boys had a bit of auto maintenance to do. Sterling was assigned the role of tire pressure adjuster. Pierce supervised. It would seem Pierce did not approve of the level of noise the work conditions required when the air compressor kicked on. The day before we left, June 26, […]
Ellie
Sweet Ellie got her ears pierced this week. In typical Ellie-laid-back style, she hollered for a few seconds and then decided I wasn’t entirely horrible to her after all. It’s a good trait for the youngest of seven. Her cheeks, obviously, aren’t shrinking. Love them. Her necklace disappears in the rolls of her neck. Welcome […]
Elliot Adelaide: 3.5 months
Dear Miss Ellie is three and a half months old, grinning easily, laughing and cooing, and loves her feet. Never fail, she puts one leg up on the bar in front of her in the stroller. She kicks at the toys on her bouncy seat and thinks that’s hilarious. She loves her pacifier too. She […]
Wiped out.
Ellie fell asleep on Liberty. Liberty wouldn’t eat supper until Ellie woke up, not wanting to move and miss the moment. Love it. (Love those rolls on baby, too.)
My week in review.
Last Tuesday night, Ruby tripped and fell in the yard. She screamed about her arm, and cried off and on through the night. The morning found us in the doctor’s office, getting her right arm x-rayed. It showed nothing. The pediatrician thought it was nursemaid’s elbow, and attempted to put it back in the socket […]
Elliot Adelaide: 9 weeks
Being married to a photographer has it’s perks. He took this photo this afternoon.
1 month, growing, and a new all-members present family photo
Elliot turned one month old earlier this week. Yesterday, we went to the pediatrician for her checkup. I have a one month old the size of a four month old, according to the pediatrician. She’s gained exactly 2 pounds since birth, and weighed in at 11 pounds 8 ounces. She’s outgrown all her 0-3 month […]
Sleep deprived thoughts.
Interesting weight loss plan: 27 pounds in 24 days via childbirth. Way to keep it going: have a baby who instinctively knows when I’m trying to eat and prevents me from it. I’ll be model thin in no time. (Or I’m seriously disillusioned.) Ellie’s growing. While she hasn’t gained all that I’ve lost by any […]
