little things

I couldn't get a good picture of an open hand, but yes she does have pronounced ridges in her fingernails. That is indeed lint in between her toes. : )

ok, sorry i haven't posted anything for a while. elle's been keeping me very busy.
first photo - elle with her cousin daniel bright, they're two months apart.
second photo - adam's mom came to visit, she just can't keep away from this baby : )
third photo - elle's receding hair line. all we need is a cheap blue suit and she'll be set as a used car salesman. recommendations for baby tupes?
third photo - "oooh really?"

Meeting new friends

Elle and I came to Colorado last Wednesday and are staying through the Fourth of July weekend. Everyone has been waiting to meet this beautiful baby, she's pretty much the most popular girl in Colorado.

Daddy's Cowboy(girl?)

Sorry Broncos, she's already been claimed for the Cowboys

First Book

Some people start reading to their kids while they're still in the belly, but Elle and I started today with "Llamma Llamma Misses Mamma."

New Swing

Thank the Lord easy Elle is back... must have been the salsa.
Here is Elle in her new swing : )

Fuss Butt in the Old Swing

Elle's been a bit of a fuss butt the past couple of days. Usually she's very easy and doesn't really cry unless she's hungry or uncomfortable... okay now that i start to think about it there are a lot of reasons why she cries. But for the most part she's an excellent baby. Anyway, the past few days have been very trying. BUT I've discovered that she loves the swing! The only thing is that we're using a borrowed swing from a friend, and I can't figure out how to use the timer to keep it swinging. So, I bought her a new one this afternoon.
She had another appointment with the pediatrician this afternoon and she is now 7 lbs 7 oz. She's growing beautifully and Dr. Tweed assures me there's no medical reason for her recent fussiness. I'm afraid to admit that I think it's the spicey salsa and beans I had for lunch yesterday... ooops... I'm learning!!

Chubs

Adam said he didn't want our daughter to be a runt when he left and she is definitely not having any problems butting on the baby fat. She's got a double chin going and starting to get some rolls on her arms and legs. She's doing good with her "Tummy Time" and is able to hold her head up for quite a while before she bonks it on my collar bone. She's been a bit on the fussy side, so as you can see, she has the nuk back. : )
