Ella Kate- 3 Months

Our happy girl turned three months old this past Thursday, January 10th.  She loved taking her pictures with the chalkboard and smiled and laughed at her Daddy the whole time.  I can't tell you how many times Hunter and I have looked at each other and said "She's growing up way too fast."

Not much has happened since my last post.  I've started back to work after all of the holidays and it's tough leaving my baby everyday but I know she's in good hands.  I get lots of pictures from Grandma throughout the day.  Ella Kate seems to be getting back into a routine as well.  She has went to sleep each night this week around 9:00 and wakes up around 6:00 to eat.  She has been sleeping through the night so well and we are thankful that we can all get a good night's sleep each night.

Ella Kate is loving her baths more and more and we've gotten to where we will let her sit and play for a while in the water after we have bathed her.  She loves to eat her fists ALL the time and is drooling a lot!  She also like to watch her Baby Einstein DVD's and will coo and laugh at them- such a sweet sound!  We think she's going to love animals because every time they come on her DVD is when she really gets to making noise.  I know that makes her Daddy proud!!  She's drinking about 5 ounces at each feeding and eating about 5 times per day.  She takes really good afternoon naps (about two hours in length).  She's actually napping as I update this.  We go back to the doctor next month for her four month check-up and to see how much she's grown these past two months.

We are so thankful for a happy, healthy little girl.  She is our whole world!

  EK's 1st New Year!  She didn't quite make it until midnight!

 Happy New Year everyone!

 Love her little birdie gown!  :))

 "Mommy, what are you doing with that big ole camera again?"
