3-Month Joy



While she certainly has her unhappy moments (like fussing right now, because she's too tired), Elanor is generally a happy little girl. Here's a fun picture. Enjoy!

First 3 Months in Review

Well, here is a quick review of Elanor's first 3 months:

August 1st: We are sleeping a lot. Elanor is amazing. I'm at a loss for words. She's so precious. Starting to go about 4 hours between feedings at night, with a burp & fart session about half way through each cycle. Joyful and tired mommy starting to get a bit of rest.

August 13th: She's 16 days old, and nearly 10 lbs already! She's grown an inch too!


August 18th: My daughter is 22 days old, wearing 3-6mo clothes, and 11lbs if my scales are correct. She's growing fast! No wonder she eats so often. P.S...and it is raining and thundering beautifully at home.

August 27th: Rachel is sleepy. Baby has been very fussy this last week, and eats about every 2- 3.5 hours so not much else gets done. This too shall pass. In the meantime, I'm trying to treasure these moments. She is already 1 month old today!

September 5th: Elanor's first visit to church at 40 days old (picture)

September 14th: Rachel is tired and happy as she cares for baby and takes 2 MTSU classes toward her teaching degree.

October 8th: Our little daughter is growing up fast! 2 months old and counting. We are happy and well. She sleeps well at night, with at least one 5+hour duration every night... sometimes starting at 7pm LOL

October 26th: Elanor is 3 months old tomorrow! She rolls, sleeps 5-8 hours each night, grasps and shakes her rattle (2nd picture), smiles, laughs, and today she even grasped her toes while I changed her. Time sure flies!
