Ellie is 3 weeks old. I cant believe that she was in my tummy only 3 weeks ago - it feels like so much more time has passed. She is still struggling with her acid reflux and is uncomfortable and fussy. She loves strolling and riding in the car but she tends to mess up her diaper and clothes anytime she goes somewhere - like today when she tee teed on my mom's kitchen table while i was trying to change her diaper. 
Today Ellie met her cousin Clayton (Mac -my oldest brother- and Christy's son). Clayton is about 18 months old and calls her "Ewwie." We are not really sure if he understands that Ellie is the name of the baby because he points to her carseat whether she is in it or not and says "Ewwie". Here Didi (my mom) is pictured with both her grandkids.
Today Ellie and I took a little trip to TJ Maxx so Mommy could do some bargain shopping. She was so sweet the entire time and even let me try on over 10 articles of clothes (of which I only bought 2, don't worry, Everett). As we were leaving the store, I noticed something in her carseat. Upon closer inspection, I realized she had poo pooed through her clothes and onto her carseat. We went straight to the car where I managed to strip her down and clean her and her carseat up enough to put her back in wearing nothing but a new diaper! The bad news is that I didnt have enough wipes to clean myself up and had to drive home with baby poo on my hands... so gross!
picture. We went to the pediatrician for our first visit yesterday. We love Dr. Ellison! He was so great with Ellie and answered all of my many questions. Ellie even smiled at him when he took her pulse :) So far, Ellie is in 75% for her height and head circumference and the 90% for her weight. We love our little heavyweight champ! We did learn that she has a bit of acid reflux (thus explains the projectile vomiting and the multiple outfit changes per day). But Dr. Ellison said it was more of a laundry problem than anything else and she will outgrow it. We are thankful for our healthy, growing girl!
Someone left this cute Carters robe in a white bag with pink tissue paper by our back door. There was no card... can anyone tell me who left it? I should offer some kind of prize for any information that leads me to the gift giver - hmm, any tip that leads to the true identity of the gift giver will earn the tipper the right to hold one really cute baby :)
this is the rest of the outfit that matches the bunny outfit. after we took this pic, ellie managed to go to the bathroom all over the leather ottoman she is lying on...
Ellie arrived April 6, 2006 at 5:25 pm.
