{weekly update} week 25

I think this week went by super fast!! We had a lot of fun and some new experiences that helped us all to grow just a little bit more!!  Sweet Ellie Faith has been in our lives for a full 25 weeks. 

Diet: Girlfriend is now eating peas and rice cereal along with her formula. Hoping to try some broccoli this week. Just have to make it!!

Sleep: Little E really likes her morning nap and then her afternoon one is hit or miss and the time is not consistent. Night sleep has been pretty good this week only with a couple of wake ups. I just love her being in our room and I think she likes it too!

Crying: On occasion she will get the cutest pouty lip, who knows the reason. Generally a happy baby even though she is teething. Usually she is pretty easy to console. 

Clothes: I have officially packed away all of her newborn and 0-3 months sized clothes and we are full on in the 3-6 month size. I can't believe how many things we have in this size and they are all so cute! We have quite the stash for our next baby girl!!

Baby Gear Love: BOOKS!! New fave thing is to sit and read a quick board book! She also still loves her walker aka "race car" can't wait until her feet reach and she can move herself!  TOES are also a big hit (just hers not mine!). She is also a huge fan of her soft blocks and still loves her dancing/singing friends in the mobile.  And Miss E is a huge fan of her super cute best friend in the mirror (spoiler alert its her!). 

Social: Baby girl went to church, out to Sushi, got to see her Nanny four days in a row!! She also got to go shopping up in Snohomish, the cutest little vintage and antiquing town, ate at a restaurant there and was a complete joy/trooper the whole time!!

Milestones: Little Miss E can help pull herself to a standing position!! And her tooth is almost through! She also stuck Coopers leg in her mouth, brave girl! First overnight with just daddy!!

Mama: I had an overnight function with my school on Sunday so I spent my first night away from Ellie. God gave me a great peace while I was away because I knew/know what great capable hands she was in with Thomas!! I am so enjoying the preparations for the upcoming holidays and starting some new traditions for our family!! Ellie Faith is such a blessing and I love her so much. 

Darling Ellie you are a true joy and make us so happy. We could not have asked for a better first child and are so thankful for your sweet disposition and cute little personality!
