Ella has found her voice. At this point Sarah and Uncle Michael A. are the only ones who have had a somewhat substantial 'conversation' with her. Even her little baby cooing sounds like the cutest thing ever.
At her one month check-up last week, Ella weighed 8 pounds and 12 ounces which is a daily gain of an ounce and a bit. She also gained an inch and a half in length. Stephen thinks she is looking chubbier. I wouldn't call her chubby just yet but will agree that her cheeks seem fuller and some angles give her a double chin.
She has started enjoying her swing(which means more than 5 minutes at a time)-I am not sure if it is the movement, the music or the colorful mobile overhead; whatever it is, it gives me a quick break now and again when I need it.
She spends more time awake these days, playtime is longer and this morning it was playtime for Ella and Daddy at 4:45am, giving me a chance to sleep.
Ella went out in the snow on Saturday-we picked a nice snowy day for her first outing. She had a lot of layers on her for the short trips from the apartment to the car and the car to the house. It was great to be around people again. I love my husband and my baby and I really enjoyed having more people around me who I love so much.
