Second Month

Watch Elli Grow

Height: 23in
Weight: 11lbs 1oz
Sleeping Patterns: Elli started sleeping through the night on Christmas Eve! Her Christmas present to me:)
Eating Habits: Elli still eats about every 2 1/2 hours.
New discoveries: She found her voice!
Special Memories: Elli went to several Christmas parties in her santa suit:)
Mommy's work party (Dec. 4th), Growth Group Tacky Christmas Sweater party (Dec. 12th), BBLC Christmas program (Dec. 13th), The Jefford's girls Nutcracker Ballet (Dec. 15th), The Poole's Christmas Party (Dec. 16th).
She also was able to celebrate Christmas with both sides of the family! Elli made her first trip to the mountains out of the womb:) She got to meet her Uncle Dustin! And his fiance, Aunt Amy, and the three sweet girls! This trip was one of meeting lots of family and friends! Elli met Great Granny and Great Pa Bishop, lots of great aunts and great uncles, cousins, The Youmans, Jordan, and her sweet adorable chunker Micah, The Jones, The Parhams, The Stewarts, and Kyrie:) Hope I didn't forget anyone!
Nickname: Inch Worm- She loved to hold her body stiff like an inch worm when we swaddled her up and put her on our shoulder.

Reading the Bible together.  She really focuses in when we read to her!
