One Month Old...

Well, I decided to start this blog a few months ago and this is the first post. In my defense...I have been quite busy though! I hope to keep it up and to be able to share stories and photos with you. I hope you enjoy.

Elanor Anne was born on October 17th, 2010 at 7:51 AM. She was 7 pounds 11 ounces and 19 inches long. Since we brought her home we have pretty much just been spending time together and getting to know each other. We recently celebrated Ella's one month birthday with dinner out with friends Burt and Donna. Dinner was Dan's favorite, pizza. I am pretty sure Dan is planning on having Ella as addicted to pizza as he is.


Over the past month, we have had many visitors. Grandma Marg came and stayed for a week and half to help me out when Dan started back up at work. It was a real life savor. Grandma Cindy comes in this weekend for a 10 day visit. That will be a great help as well.

Dan had a great idea to take a picture of Ella next to the same stuffed animal for each month of her first year. That we we can really see how much she has grown. Man, she has already grown so much from the first week, to the first month...

Here are some other good pictures from month one...
I think this picture is so cute...what is that big head looking at??
Here is a tummy time picture. Don't let this fool you though...she HATES tummy time.
So that's it for month one...can't wait to see what month two has to offer...
