Princess Ellie!

Kevin Poses

Hmm... Let me think about this... What trick should I show them next?

Wanna see my muscles?

Picture Day!

We went to take pictures today! We now have a picture of 4 generations of ladies from my family (plus one handsome young man). I'm not really a fan of the picture of just Ellie, Kevin, and me, but they look so cute that I had to include it! It was tough for me to get situated because Ellie was squeezing Kevin so tight that I had to make sure she didn't hurt him!!

Kevin's 2-Week Checkup

On Monday, Kevin had his 2-week checkup, and he is doing great so far. He gained 1 lb and 2 oz last week. As of Monday, he weighed 9 lbs 6 oz! He is on his way to matching Ellie's healthy stature! This week, he also measured 21.5 inches, so the doctors says his birth length at the hospital was incorrect! So, we can rewrite his history books by adding 1.5 inches to his birth length!

Kevin's One-Week Checkup

Kevin has miraculously grown 1.5 inches since he was born 7 days ago! We think there must have been a mistake in his measurements on his birth day because he is now measuring 21.5 inches! He has regained his birth weight plus 7 ounces. So, he is doing well and growing fast!

Ellie Feeds Her Baby Elephant

Here, Ellie is using my boppy pillow to feed her baby elephant. She wraps him in a blanket, which must be tucked in, and then feeds him. She makes funny noises as he eats!

Monster Killer...

Ellie is now scared of monsters in her room at night. So, Chris runs around her room shooting the monsters with this pump! She is satisfied once all the monsters have been "blown away"

Coming Home

We returned home from the hospital on Wednesday. Ellie had 2 big sister presents and chocolate cupcakes waiting for her once when we got home. Needless to say, she enjoyed her big sister party.

Kevin sleeps a lot. I often have to wake him for feedings. He seems content most of the time!
