I can't believe it! - One month old! Last Sunday was 4 weeks - but still, ONE MONTH - already?! But to think of all that's happened in this one month is crazy to me - and it makes the month actually seem a lot longer! I am enjoying looking back on how much she has changed in just this one month - today we went to the doctor's office for an appointment and I was amazed that she is already 8 pounds, 1 ounce! Such a good eater... :)
Ellie has been enjoying several clothes changes each day - not by my own choice, but by hers. She really wants to make sure she wears all the newborn clothes in the closet before she grows too big for them and has to move to 0-3 month clothing. In truth, she's actually worn almost every single newborn outfit MORE THAN ONCE already :)
We've started giving her the pacifier more and more now while she is calm - it seems to really soothe her... She doesn't really take it when she's fussy - but that's probably because I didn't let the NICU staff use it for that purpose...
We've gotten so many gorgeous handmade afghans and blankets - here's the latest...
These two shots (above and below) are actually from the hospital on the day of her birth ONE MONTH ago! :) I recently found them while scanning my pictures on my cell phone - I am amazed that for a pretty old and definitely not modern phone, the pictures are quite clear and good. So thankful for them... The clock on the wall says 5:45 - so Ellie was exactly 3 hours and 1 minute old in this one below!
