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!

Eleanor-2 months

We took Eleanor for her two month check up yesterday! She weighed in at 10.2 pounds and was 22.5 inches long.
Snuggled up after those mean old shots! 
Daddy lovins
She started cooing and smiling this month and it is the sweetest thing
      She is a bubble blowing extraordinaire...which Emerson finds hilarious

Loves for you to hold her up so she can look around

Celebrated her first Thanksgiving
Helped pick out her first Christmas Tree

Has been sleeping 6-7 hours straight for the last two weeks! Hallelujah! 

Enjoyed her first Christmas at Mimi and Poppy's

Had her first visit to see Santa

She takes her best naps in Mommy and Daddy's bed

She helped host a bridal shower for Aunt JuJu ;)

Wears size 3 month clothes (Her legs are too long for 0-3)

Not a big fan of pacifiers but we are trying to get her to use one so that Nathan will have an easier way to calm her down once I go back to work :(

All of us were sick at one point this month so we spent a lot of time in doctor's offices. Luckily none of us had anything serious! Breathing treatments work wonders with our girls.
We don't like to wait...

Likes listening to music


Here are a few more of our favorite pics from this month:



Nathan's version of a wrap. Lol



Eleanor Grace, we fall more in love with you every single day!
