Ella Ruth-2 months



This sweet little girl is already two months old.  I know I will be saying this the rest of my life, "where has the time gone?" She is so much fun and such a happy baby!  Here are the stats from our doctor's appointment:

weight: 12lbs. 9oz.   87% (the complete opposite end of the spectrum from her brother, I might add)

height: 22.75 in.  63%

head: 38.5 cm  45% (also different from her brother :))

 

 Henry loves to kiss Ella, but refused to sit with his arm around her.  I guess a boy has to have his limits.

Another month has gone by and this is what I have learned about Ella Ruth:
(1) she still has a precious personality
(2) her smiles light up the room
(3) she is already trying to "talk"
(4) when she falls asleep on my chest the whole world stops and I am in Heaven
(5) the nighttime feedings are a wonderful time to be just mother and daughter without the distraction of big brother
(6) when she needs something she is not afraid to let everyone around her know it
(7) she has the most kissable cheeks!
(8) I love her more every day

Let it snow, let is snow, let it snow

I love the snow!  Henry and I stared out the window just watching it fall ALL day.  It was amazing.  By the time Andrew got home from work the snow had stopped, for a short time, and we were able to go out and enjoy playing in it. 

 

Andrew made a sled with our trash can lid and took Henry for rides down a small hill by our house.  Henry wasn't too excited about the cold, but I think he liked the experience overall.  He definitely liked the hot chocolate and snow ice cream that came after all the outside fun.  Luckily our neighbors had an awesome sled that he was able to ride on a few times before coming inside. 

 

Ella was very quiet the whole time.  Frozen, maybe?

 

I love watching my family play in the snow!

 

How cute are those cheeks?!?

 

 

Stay warm!
