Bath Time



 This was her first REAL bath (after her cord fell off and a couple weeks of sponge baths until then). It was like she knew what was coming. She actually did really well, I think she liked the noise of the running water. 

 Her bath chair might still be a little big, she kept sliding down as she wiggled. Look at that cute little belly button she has now! So glad that cord is gone. We bathed her right before feeding time because we knew she'd already be mad. She looks a little hungry.

 All snuggled up. Now I know why bath blankets have hoods...because they are so stinkin' cute!

 Still hungry and trying to eat her hand.

 Drying off with Dad.

All done and squeaky clean.

When Dad is gone...

How did it take us two weeks before we discovered how cute we look in hair bows?!

Growing Baby

At two weeks old, she weighs 6 lbs 13 oz. Danny and I bet on her weight, I won with a guess of 6-14 (Danny was optimistic with 7-2). Too bad we didn't bet anything good, I never win when we do that!  Dr. McInturff says she's a very healthy baby. That's what we like to hear! For everyone who might not need daily Ellie updates, sorry, but Grandma does! Sorry for the baby overload.

Green Jumpsuit

 I had to have some pictures of the awesome green jumpsuit!

 I like to think the smiles are real. Look at those cheeks she's got!

 Doesn't seem like I have too many pictures with her eyes open. Turns out babies sleep a lot.

 Everyday she looks like she is getting bigger... until Dad holds her. She still looks pretty tiny in his arms!

 

We survived the first week!

 Loving afternoon naps in the living room. Such cute little poses.

 Ellie is turning out to be a very popular little girl!

WOAH!

WOAH! I weighed 6 lbs 6 oz on "sweat pants Friday!" I'm huge.

Ellie Ann Lusk

Ellie Ann Lusk was born 7-26-12 at 8:37 pm. She weighed 6 lbs, 2 oz and was 20 inches long. This is one of her first pictures and she made this angry face for about 3 hours after she was born! Thought she would always have a wrinkly forehead!

Spending some time with Daddy.

First bath...looking a little red under the warmer.

Her first visitors, Grandma and Grandpa.

Cousins Abby and Miah.

Ready to take her home!

What baby likes the car seat for the first time? Not this one. She looks so tiny in it.

 We are home from the hospital!

 Aunt Kelsy meeting her for the first time.

We didn't think to buy hand mits, so we just used socks. Whatever works.

Look at those long skinny legs!

 Lounging with Grandma. 

 Ellie before her first doctor appointment. She weighed 5 lbs 10 oz at almost 2 days old.

 I just love little feet! 

 She likes to lounge with Dad too.

Another doctor appointment today. She weighed 5 lbs 14 oz at almost 4 days old!

 Gaining a little weight! There will be more pictures to come. With a mom that loves to take pictures and a baby this cute, would you expect anything less?

Holy Cow
