Consolidated sleep at 7 weeks!

Although we know we shouldn't count on changes in patterns being permanent, I'd like to think that Ellie's current sleeping pattern is going to just keep getting more awesome!  She has been going to bed between 9-10p and sleeping 5 hours or so before getting up for a swig of food and some special time with her dad (AKA a fresh diaper).  This week's plan: Ellie sleeps in her own room!  Oh how they grow up so fast.  Who will this be harder on, mom or Ellie?  Definitely mom!  Hearing her little snorts, grunts, toots, and inch worm movements during the night are pretty adorable.  


We have found a daycare for her that we think is going to be a great place for her to hang out while daddy and mommy work on bringing home the bacon.  And she'll even be close to her Great Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Samir!  Ellie got to meet her Uncle Samir for the first time this week.  Other visits included an evening spent with her Great Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Samir as well as her Great Great Aunt Sandy and Uncle Jim. 


She spent her 7 week birthday (I wonder how long we will be celebrating weekly birthdays?!?) at Grandma Cassandra's house.  Most popular birthday activity, umm eating...for mom and Ellie.  No surprises there!  Birthday brunch was a great way to kick off the day.  Other activities included having her picture taken, tummy time, and sliding down a pillow.


And the newest development, falling asleep on daddy's chest.  Definitely the highlight of this past week!!

Someone loves her daddy!! 

 Hanging with Grandma Cassandra

 Still loving her vibrating chair

Apparently it is possible to just get cuter and cuter... 

...but we wanted to show that yes she does cry (with a cute snorting pug sound)... 

...but tends to recover pretty quickly! 

Sleeping like her dad, one hand out to the side 

A month and a half old and sporting the 3 month sleeper...I see the 6 month outfits in our very near future!

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF OUR LITTLE MONKEY!!
