Ella Jane-month 1

Happy 1 month birthday sweet girl! Ella turned 1 month on January 22nd, 2013. 
One month old!
January 22, 2013
 The first month flew by and we can't believe that we are already celebrating her 1 month birthday.  What an amazing month!  She is a sweet baby but here are some pictures from the past month showing us that she definitely has a fiesty side

When she is happy she is so happy but when she is upset she makes sure that you and everyone else knows it!  One day she was asleep in the swing for no more than 15 minutes and she started crying so loud that I sprinted in because I was certain that she had fallen out of the swing, or that someone had broken into the house and was torturing her, I picked her up and she stopped immediately.  She's a little diva-when she wants something she wants it right now!  She is the same with eating-if I take her off to burp her and she isn't quite ready yet she will give out the biggest cry!  Definitely a little bit of drama, too!  On the day that she turned 1 week old we actually took her into the doctor because she had an awful diaper rash that just wasn't going away.  She was really gassy that first week and was pooping honestly 5-6 times after 1 feeding so it just tore her little coolie (bottom) apart.  Poor girl.  She is still gassy but I have given up dairy and often pump before I feed her because I think my milk just comes in too fast for her and both of those seem to help.  We've started using gripe water when she seems really bothered and that helps, too.  See, drama!!  And she's only a month!!
Just some pictures from the past month

She is smiling for us all the time-probably most of them are the after milk smiles but a smile is a smile so we'll take it!

Her umbilical cord fell off on Thursday, January 10th when she was 19 days old.  She had an awful case of baby acne but thankfully that has cleared up and now she is just dealing with her receding hair line!  But she is still the cutest!!

Her stretches are just the cutest thing ever!

You can already tell that she is just going to adore her brother (as he does her!)  He still calls her Baby Ella for the most part but also calls her sweet girl often.  I had tears in my eyes the first time he said it-it was in the morning and he walked up to her and said, "Good morning sweet girl!"  Melt my heart.  And his little high pitch tone that he uses with her is the cutest.  I caught him a few days doing "this little piggy" to her.

Notice the sports stickers on her outfit-I am sure this is just the beginning of her brother messing with her.


Joseph put the soccer ball on her foot and said "Ella kick the soccer ball!"  Too funny.

We love you sweet girl!  Happy 1 month birthday!
