1 Month

Dear Elle,

I can't even put into words how my life has changed over the past month... it's unreal! I look at you and I still can't believe you are ours! It's so much fun to watch you grow and start to become more animated and alert, I can't get over how much you have changed. You have been such a good baby from the start, we couldn't have asked for more. You rarely fuss except when I can't feed you quick enough, I am in love with bath time, your little dimple is just too cute and if things keep up with your hair you will be in pigtails in no time! I am already starting to get depressed knowing I have to go back to work... even if it is only for two weeks. I don't want to leave you! You have your 1 month appointment with the doctor on Monday and I am just dying to see how much you've grown! You've already graduated to size 1 diapers and all of your Gerber newborn sized onesies are out of commission as well! Everyone says time goes by even faster after you have children. I tried to mentally prepare for that but I don't even know where the last month has gone. We love you so much and can't even remember what life was like before you.

Thank you for being our Sunshine.

All our love,

Mommy and Daddy

Come one, come all!

Our house has been full of visitors since the day we got home from the hospital. My mom was here and what a blessing that was. She stayed at a hotel close by and brought lunch or dinner every day, did our grocery shopping, cooked and helped with cleaning and some laundry. My friends were in and out and a HUGE help bringing dinners by after my mom left town. Jason's parents were in town shortly after and we had a nice visit with them too. Things are just now settling down for us and we are starting to work ourselves into somewhat of a routine. We are really lucky though... Elle is just a dollface and she is SUCH a good baby. She sleeps just about anywhere we put her and she only cries when she wants food.

It's been so nice the past few days to just be a family. I love being a family!
