One Month... Already!

Ellasyn Hannah is one month old! I really can't believe it has already been a month. Her check up at the doctor's office went well. She now weighs 9 pounds 10 ounces, and has grown two inches!! She is growing so fast, we are already moving up into the next size of diapers. Some milestones she is hitting are: focusing on faces and the toys hanging from her bouncy seat, she smiled at Daddy, lifting her head (although she still hates tummy time).

As I sit here typing, she is asleep in my lap. I realize that some say I am spoiling her, but how can I not!? I watch her little eyes flutter and her sweet mouth pucker and smile as she sleeps. I am working on getting her to fall asleep on her own. She does pretty good in the late afternoons, and at night. Her nights are awesome! She eats, has a bath and then goes down about 9:30 or 10:00 for about 4-5 hours.

Here are some pictures if the month so far...

Our first trip to church

This Sunday was Ellasyn's first Sunday at church. We only went to our Sunday school class, we are starting out slow. I am still not really sure of myself. We wanted to make sure that our 11th graders saw her before they promote to the 12th grade class. It was fun to show her off to everyone. She looked so cute, even though we didn't dare remove her from the comfort and safety of her car seat.

Since we don't have many pictures from Sunday, I will add a few of my favorites so far.



Being comforted by Daddy at the Dr.s office... yes the wallpaper is a little much!



Snuggle time with Daddy

I love watching Ethan be Daddy! He is so hands on, and does an amazing job!

She's Here!

Ellasyn Hannah McDaniel arrived on Saturday, July 25 at 1:13pm. She weighed 7 pounds and 10 ounches, and was 19 inches long. It has only been 8 days since she has been here with us and it already feels like she has been here all along. We are so in love with her! Ethan and I could just sit and stare at her all day. We are in awe of God's creation in her and cannot wait to experience all that is to come. There have definitely been challenges, but every day brings new perspective!

Here are a couple pictures to show off our precious baby girl...
