1 Month

Ella is one month old today!! It's hard to believe that four weeks have already passed.

She has changed so much in these few weeks. She started off not gaining weight like her doctor said she should Now I think I need to out her on a Baby Diet!! Just kidding!!

She's a pretty good sleeper. She usually sleeps about 3 hours at a time. Some nights she gives me 4 hours!!

We started breast feeding at birth bit when she wasn't gaining weight Dr. Olivio suggested supplementing formula to help her gain weight. She loved the instant gratification that the bottle gave her. Each time I would try to breast feed she would fight me at it. Each time was getting worse and worse; to where I was in tears I was getting so frustrated. So now I pump and store and she gets a bottle. We are both happy!!

Right now, Ella pretty much just eats, sleeps, and poops. But she does like to ride in the car to visit people. She doesn't seem to be anxious meeting new people. She loves just "looking" around at her surroundings. I think she'll be a People Watcher like her Mommy!!

She loves her dog and he lives her!! I've changed his name to Bubba T. I don't think Turd is an appropriate name for a child to call a dog!! Edgar is still on the fence with Ella. He has made strides to actually be in the same room as her now!!

We go to the doctor on Tuesday. I'll report then on her growth.

Ella, Mommy & Daddy love you so much and are very thankful that you chose us to be your parents!! I enjoy every day with you and can't wait to see what kind of women you grow to become!! Happy 1st Month!! I love you, Bug!!
