Labor Day "Camping"

For the past 3 years Shayne and I have gone to the Toutle River to camp for Labor Day weekend with his family. Our version of camping this year was to stay in a nearby hotel. We weren’t about to try out the newborn tenting. We don’t own a camping trailer so a hotel was our best option. And we are so glad that we rented the hotel…we had a ton of fun hanging out during the day at the river with family! It rained pretty much the whole time but, we still had a lot of fun playing games and hanging out near the fire when the rain did decide to let up. All in all it was a good weekend!

2 month check-up.

Yesterday Ellee had her 2 month wellness Exam.  The pediatrician said she looks very healthy!!  She now weighs 10 pounds 1 ounce.  I was so surprised because she doesn't feel like 10 pounds.  She is also now 22 inches long.  She is really growing like a weed!! :)
They also had to give her first set of shots...talk about emotional for both of us!  They gave her 3 shots..2 in one thigh and 1 in the other.  I have never heard her cry so hard.  I couldn't even watch them poke her I felt so bad!  At least she won't remember them!  Poor baby!

look at me!!

This last week we have noticed that Miss Ellee has started holding her head up for longer periods of time.  She is also a lot more aware of what is going on around her.  When she is laying on the floor she looks all around instead of just staring at one spot.  She has also started to follow sounds and voices.  I think she knows who Mommy and Daddy are!
