How in the world did a month go by already?! It seems like just yesterday that we were welcoming our daughter into our lives, and now she completely dominates our lives (in a good way, of course). While she's only been a part of our family for a month, we cannot imagine life without her. A few observations from the past week:
: Ellie is sprouting more hair, but not all over, just on the crown of her head. I think she might start to look like a Fraggle if this growth pattern continues.
: Despite the fact that Justin and I eat meals at different times each day, Ellie invariably wants to eat the minute we sit down.
: Showers have become quite the treat. When I get more than a haphazard 30 second shower, I consider my hygiene beyond successful.
: Ellie is weighing it at a whopping 9.6 lbs today - we love the cheeks, chins and rolls and hope that she can hang onto them for now.
: Our daughter is full of noises - low pitched grunts, groans, and heavy breathing... she now has a new super cute high pitched coo.
: We attempted to have a dinner party for 9 on Saturday night. I think Ellie could sense that people were honing in on her turf because she was a pill the entire night. While it was a fun night, we realized that entertaining with a 4 week old was an overzealous attempt at social normalcy.

| Will came over for a visit - this shot was taken seconds before a diaper explosion in Will's hand. Thank God for leak-proof diapers. |
