    It’s been a really fun week with Ellie.  She is really starting to smile a lot, each day she seems to have more fun during playtime than the last.  We had a super fun weekend with Papa John and Mimi Sheri!  They each got to feed her a bottle, and we took lots of fall…

    We took a week off from visitors and as a result didn’t take nearly as many pictures.  It did give Aunt Lary and Uncle B a chance for some good one on one time with Ellie.  We should get back on track at the end of next week when Papa John and Mimi Sheri come to…

    This week brought lots of visitors to see Eleanor.  Gramski came up for a week long visit, which included some shopping on Michigan Avenue (and our first trip actually into a store…..GAP, of course), and lunch al fresco.  Gramski also had the chance to give Ellie a bottle.  Actually, we had quite a few folks…

    Eleanor turned one month old this week, and we celebrated with a Labor Day cookout.  Brian, Breanne, Sarah, Jay and Laura all came over with tons of food, and Jay cooked it all up.  Yummy!  We also had some self portraits, and a bath.  How about that for a celebration! Grandma and Grandpa Littleton stopped by for a…

    The doctors tell us that newborns can’t smile until 6 weeks or so, and anything that looks like a smile prior to that is just gas.  However, Amy believes that she has captured Eleanor’s first smile on video.  I’m inclined to agree.  I’ll let you decide for yourself.  :)

    It’s hard to believe that we’ve had four weeks with little Eleanor.  Highlights this week included a visit from Aunt Ann (Littleton) and a trip to Uncle B’s house for BBQ and football.  We also had our first bottle feeding, our first big girl book with no pictures (although as you will see, both Amy…

    It was a busy week of firsts for little Eleanor.  She hosted her first cookout party and her first overnight visitor, as well as had her first lunch out and first trip to Starbucks.  A big thanks to everyone who brought us dinners – Breanne with the yummy lasagna, Sarah and (mostly) Jay for the…

    Its hard to believe that it has been over two weeks since Eleanor joined us.  I feel like I am already getting behind sharing all of the fun moments!  Between feeding, changing, swaddling, rocking, soothing, and bathing, the day really flies by.  I got a good laugh from our pediatrician, we were just finishing up…
