Week 2!

Moving into week two, all is well!  Ellie is bringing some new challenges. The primary one being gassyness.   While awake or asleep, Ellie will periodically groan for 15 min or so, until she starts crying and we console her. Then suddenly, without warning, she will fart loudly and poop powerfully, spontaneously bringing a smile to her face for the next 1.5 hours.  This has event has occurred sans diaper and also while taking a bath with me today...  How Ellie manages to do this, while still convincing me that she is the greatest living thing on this earth baffles me.  With these minor troubles (which we are dealing with), we are still having a ton of fun with little Ellie, now often called "squirmy b."

Note her awesome vest, a hand-me-down from friends Pat/Caroline.  Captain of the Universe-Space Dept.

Ann Wahr made us the amazing quilt which has taken up residence either on the couch or floor.  Ellie seems to be able to see and appreciate the patterns, which was very exciting.

This was Annie's first day in "normal clothes."  And if you ask me, lookin' pretty darn good for 1 week post-delivery!

The fam!
