Eleanor-3 months

This month we are having a guest blogger...in all fairness he typed this up when she turned 3 months old but I am just now getting the chance to sit down and publish it with pictures.  Here is his post:

"Hello all! I am your celebrity blogger tonight! I am not as good at this as my lovely wife, but I’ll give it a try!

We have a lot to catch you up on in regard to Ellie. She is 3 months old and such a big ball of sweetness. She laughs now. Her little belly laughs are the cutest! She smiles on a regular basis and talks up a storm! She tells us stories with a tone of excitement, some with a face of concern, and some with a casual, “top of the morning” tone.  All of her stories are interesting and informative.

Staying at home with Ellie has been such an eye-opening experience for me. I have an new-found respect for stay at home parents and their daily struggles. Here are a few of my struggles:

1.     When an inauguration prevents you from watching Let’s Make a Deal and Price is Right

2.     When you have to clean a bottle and fill it with milk while holding a crying baby.

3.     When all you need is a LITTLE more sleep but your daughter is ready to party… at 6:30am. Good thing I have a terrific wife to feed her all night!

4.     When you realize you are seeing friends for lunch and haven’t showered yet… go stinky or take that 75 second shower!

This month, Ellie:

-       Rolled over once from tummy to back.

-       Had her first Christmas

-       Follows us with her eyes and listens to the speaker

-       Takes short naps; sleeps 7 hours straight during the night.

-    Spent a lot of special time with did since mom went back to work

-    Started laughing

-    Prefers to sit up and look around so she doesn't miss out on anything important"

Here are some of our favorite pictures from this month! 

Ellie Bellie! We are so in love with you! Happy 3 months!
