My Sillies!

Five Weeks Old

Elle is five weeks old and time is flying by which leads to a sad mama :( I would love to have a pause button. I love this girl more everyday. At her one month appointment she was in the 75% for height and weight 9lbs. 140z and 22 inches. She is such an easy baby. She is very much used to her brother's chatter and loud toys. She is beginning to smile at us and it is just as amazing as it was when Rylan began to smile. I could go on and on about how wonderful my girl is but its only fair to brag a bit about my boy too. Rylan is loving having his baby "sis sis", almost saying sissy. He is actually helping too. He is very good at putting things in the trash for us or bringing a diaper. His vocabulary is expanding everyday. Kenny and are so blessed to have two healthy children and try to remember that everyday when we are feeling the effects of interrupted sleep and busy days. We are heading up north for about a week and a little nervous having two in the car many many hours as we make our way up to visits friends in Sacramento and Nanny and Gramps in Eureka. We have been having lots of fun play dates and of course Target trips. Its beginning to feel like summer now and we love it! Hard to believe that Kenny and I will celebrate our sixth anniversary in a couple weeks. I am a lucky lady to have such a wonderful husband that adores our children and is an equal partner with me in the day to day up keep of the house and routines with our babes! I know how fortunate we are to have daddy home with us most everyday. Our camera is on its last leg so unfortunately we don't have any pictures to post right now but we will post some after our trip. Off to tend to a crying baby. Loves!

Elle's First Photo Shoot

Check out our baby girl. Ashley Blake took these once again amazing photos. She has such a gift and we are so fortunate to have her share her her talent with us, not to mention she makes an amazing dessert I call "Heaven in a Bowl" Thank you Ashley for giving me such beautiful photos of my family.

I love you Elle

We're Home

Elle and I came home this morning and we are so glad to see something other than hospital walls. It was a very long two day stay but we are home, healthy and happy! She is a beautiful girl and Rylan can't seem to get enough of his sissy. Hopefully in a few days we will be somewhat caught up on our new standard of sleep. Visitors are welcome and we are eager to show off our sweet baby girl. Thank you all for your messages, phone calls, prayers and visits.

Sad News...

We have to leave in a few minutes to take Elle to the nicu for light treatment. We will be there anywhere from 12 hours to two days. Her number was high enough to treat, but low enough that it may be a short stay. We are hoping its closer to 12 hours...Thankfully I will be able to stay with to feed her every two hours. Please pray for Elle that it will be treated very quickly and for me as I am already tired, emotional, and concerned for my baby. Rylan will get to enjoy more time with Nanny and Gramps so he will be fine. Kenny will stay with us girls as much as he can. We will keep everyone posted.

A few more for now

She looks chubbier in these pictures than she really is :)

Here are a few more Elle pictures. I don't have many on our camera so I hopefully I will get some this weekend from Auntie Boo and Nanny's cameras
