6 weeks old...more "firsts" and more grandparents!

Six weeks...crazy! Some aspects have gone fast, others not so much :) It has definitely been an adjustment period. But, luckily for us, Ellie Kate is such a good little baby. She usually cries only when she is hungry and is fussy if she is tired. She is pretty easy to soothe, and although she still wakes up a couple of times at night to eat, she goes right back to sleep. Like her mama, however, she fights sleep, and is not the best napper during that day. This week, Ellie has started to smile at us and smile/coo when she is playing...not just when she has gas or is going to sleep! It is soooo fun. We caught this great photo while playing on the floor at Paul's office...



Mark and Ginny came out to spend the week with us. It was so fun to see Ellie with her other grandparents...wow, is she going to be spoiled!! I think that Mark is finally convinced he has a grandDAUGHTER! We made sure to change her diaper in his presence so he knew it truly was a girl. I was very lucky to have help for another week, and even got out a couple of times by myself! We went out to dinner a few time, and Ellie attend her first happy hour at the Yard House.









We are excited to be headed to Pittsburgh in July. It will be fun to show Ellie off to Paul's family. It will be Ellie's first plane ride...I am already having anxiety about it!!

We have had exceptionally warm weather the last couple of weeks, and have been able to get out side. Ellie likes the stroller for the most part, but gets very mad if you stop to chat with anyone for longer than a minute. It is still a little chilly, so it is a good thing she has SOOO many hats...here are a few of them :)












Other than just a lot of cuteness, there is not much else going on. We will update with more cute photos soon!
