Ella at 8 Weeks!

Ella is now eight weeks old! I just can't believe how big she has gotten. As you can tell from the pictures, she is getting "fatter" and longer everyday! She is so much fun with her laughing and moving about. This week she has shown more interest in her toys. She liked laying on her back under the play mat of her exersaucer. She loves to lay in her crib and stare at her mobile. She has even taken some naps in her crib. She still loves to be talked too and loves to eat:) Her feeding/sleeping schedule has changed slightly. She still eats about every 3 to 4 hours (any where from 3 to 5 oz.), but at night she is deciding she wants to sleep from 7 pm until 12 am and then not wake up until 4 am. She does not nap much during the day, so I have been working on that this past weekend. I am anxious to see somewhat of a set pattern develop within the next four weeks as she approaches 3 months.

This past week, Ella's Daddy was very sick. Therefore, mommy got to experience the mornings of most working mothers. It was definitely tiring and hard to get everything together that early!! I am so thankful for Kermie and his job! I would not want to escort her every morning. We are very glad he is feeling better:)

Ella has her 2 month check up Tuesday :(

The pictures I have posted are from her week with Nanny and Grandbubby, Granny, Ava, and Jackie, Nana, and at her Grandpa Rob's birthday party at Johnny Carino's. She has so much fun with all of them ! Thank you for taking such good care of her :)
