Ellia's two month visit to the doctor was today. She will be 10 weeks old tomorrow. She weighed 11 lbs 13 oz, and she was 22 inches long. We captured a few good pictures yesterday of serious looks, smiles, and almost laughing!

Snow doesn't mean much to Ellia, but this could be the most snow she will "see" in her childhood since we don't see much in Georgia. She has just viewed it from inside the house, though, as it has been cold too!

Two months old--Ellia does a lot of smiles these days, and we tried to capture them for her two month old picture. Thank goodness she is into a better routine each day and can fall asleep on her own without screaming for an hour. She eats around 7 PM, goes to bed around 8, and has been waking once to eat between 4 and 5:30. Maybe soon she can repeat her one night of going from 7 to 7 without eating. We look forward to that day!

Right before Christmas Ellia did some little smiles, and she likes to kick and play under things that move. Ellery adores her, and really Ellery must be sort of pestering her at times. These are fairly uneventful videos, but I want to capture and remember the way she moves around and the little sounds and faces of a baby!

Christmas 2010--Here are some of the pictures we snapped over Christmas in Kentucky. Ellia has just begun making her first smiles, and we tried to capture those. You will see we also captured her sleeping with Noni and being fed by Noni and Tia Kate. We also enjoyed our visit with the Kalanys, and they enjoyed holding her. Last night she went about 10 1/2 hours at night without eating, so maybe a full night's sleep will be a late Christmas present to mommy.

Who does Ellia look like? This bottom picture was taken on December 11th, and in this picture she looks like Elan. He used to sleep just like this! The other pictures are with Ellery. Maybe Ellia looks like her too. It is still early to tell, but it is apparent that Ellery adores her little baby sister!

We probably don't need this many of these pictures, but daddy got carried away. We wanted to document how Ellia sleeps like Elan did when he was a baby. If you look back at his blog, you will find his arms over his head like this. Quite funny!
