Skiing!

Last Saturday Jer took Jake skiing. They had such a great time. I was sad that I couldn't be there, but they took some good pictures and video. I'm so proud of him! He did great!

Bath time and skiing

Ellie had her first bath the other day. She really seemed to enjoy it as long as she stayed warm. The instant she felt cold, she fell apart! Jeremy thinks that she got that from me, which is probably true. I HATE being cold! She did really love having her hair washed and played with. Who doesn't!?

LOVE the furry back!!










Jeremy has always wanted to teach Jake how to ski. The other day he came across a kids helmet and ski goggles and just couldn't resist. I had a hard time too after seeing him in them!

2 1/2 weeks!

Our little Ellie is growing like crazy!  I can't believe that she has been with us for 2 1/2 weeks!  Her two week appointment went great.  She is now 21 in long (75%) and 8 lbs 4 oz (50%).  She gained a whole pound since the hospital!  I can't believe how fast she has grown. 

Things are slowing getting back to normal.  We had lots of help and meals from family, friends, and neighbors which was greatly appreciated!  It's so nice being spoiled for a few days.  Jake had a cold last week ,and unfortunately, even with all of our efforts to keep him away, Ellie seemed to get it too.  It's so sad to hear her little cough!  She still seems to be thriving and doing well, even with a little sickness.  She has been more awake and alert and I love looking into her eyes!  She sleeps well but still is a little backwards when it comes to day and night.  She sleeps so soundly during the day and seems to stir a lot more at night.  Hopefully, we'll get that part figured out soon.  :)  

I also celebrated my 28th birthday on the 2nd!  Only two more years to 30! WEIRD!  It was a very low-key birthday with the new baby and all, but it was still nice.  I'm so happy to have been blessed with a wonderful family.  Life is good!!
