One Month Old!

It's so hard to believe that Elizabeth is 1 month old already.  I'll be honest, time was going so slowly in the beginning, but now it is flying by.  She is such a good baby and gets it gets easier every day.


We had her 1 month check up this week and she is now 8 lbs 11 oz and 22 inches long!  The doctor says she is such a healthy baby.  We are so blessed.  She has pretty much outgrown newborn diapers and is almost too long for her newborn clothes.  Girl loves to eat!

She is sleeping in 3 hour chunks so she's only waking me up once a night which is nice. She also is taking a morning and afternoon nap.  I usually join her for her afternoon nap.  At night, she sleeps swaddled in her swing which has been a big help with getting her to sleep.  I highly recommend the swing for any moms of newborns.



We usually try to go on one outing each day.  For example, we've been to the grocery store and to meet Wes for lunch.





Here are some more pictures from the past two weeks:

Still loving tummy time:

Georgia Tech has lost every game since she was born, but Falcons have won every game:

She loves her "puppies" already:

Week 2!

Time flies when you're having fun!  Fun to Elizabeth is eating, pooping and sleeping :)  She had another great check up at the doctor and doc says she's a perfect 2 week old.  She is now 7.5 lbs and 21 inches!  Long and lean (Mansfield genes?).  Also, her cord stump fell off.  I have no clue where it is though...

We have worked in a few activities other than eating, pooping and sleeping:

We go for walks to get some vitamin D:
And we have tummy time now which she is a very good sport about:

She also got to spend some quality time with her Aunt Kate and Great Aunt Pam is now getting to spend the week with her.  She loves all the attention and different arms to hold her.  (I need a pic of her and Aunt Pam!)

Here are a few more pics from the last week.  I really need to get Wes to update the blog soon since he's much better at writing!  Also, who do you think she looks like?  Almost everyone has said Wes...
