Miss. Ellie is growing soo fast! She has officially slept in her pack n play in her own room for over a week now. She is doing very well sleeping at night too. She was down to about 2 feedings a night. She started waking up and wanting to eat more the past 2 days at night. I think she is going through a growth spurt. She is interacting more with me when I talk to her and smiling at me. It's the cutest thing when she smiles at me! I took her to meet all my students at school yesterday and they loved her. They were really excited to meet her! Then last night I took her to meet Uncle JJ's niece Charlotte. She was born on April 20th. It was crazy how much bigger Ellie is than her and they are only a month apart in age. I am very anxious to take her to the Dr. and see how much she has grown. We go on May 19th for her 2 month check up and then we will go to get her shots too. After her shots that means she gets to get her ears pierced :)

Mommies little cupcake!!!

We have been pretty busy this week so far! We started walking around the park last week and we are going to continue to do so. We walk 2 miles for now and we are working our way up to 5 miles every night! Ellie loves to look at everything! We have started to transition Ellie to a bottle. She doesn't like it to well but we are hoping by June we will have it down!

Ellie loves her Robeez Sandals Nanny got her for the summer! Thanks Nanny!

BUSY Day!!!

Today we moved Great Grams Lewis more! Then we went to Great Aunt Lovers house so Ellie could meet all of her Granny Griffey's brothers and sisters which are Great Aunt Lover, Great Aunt Loretta, Great Aunt Ernastein, Great Aunt Berniece, Great Uncle Paul, Great Uncle Patrick and Great Uncle Tim! This was a pretty big deal considering that their is so many of them. Great Aunt Berniece and Great Uncle Paul were both in from out of state. This was the 1st time in 5 years that they had all gotten together! They were all very excited to meet Miss. Ellie! We also got a package in the mail today from Great Aunt Tammy which was my Grandpa Lewis' sister. She got Ellie the most beautiful blanket! It has scripture written on it and her name! I put some pictures of it below! We are going to church then Nanny and Papaw Benson's house after church. Daddy and Papaw are putting together the swing set for Ellie! Nanny ordered Ellie a pink swing so we are really excited!
