January 2013

Our little girl is growing and growing. I just want her to stay so little. Being new parents hasn't really been that challenging though. We have a super well behaved and easy baby. She is a fantastic sleeper is really just all around happy. How could you not be with me as your mother though right? ha. She is a good eater. Too strong of a latch for my taste but I'm sticking through it. We love her so much and she makes our lives 100x better. She is still a little lady though weighing in at 7 lbs for her first month on this earth. 

 Mother and Daughter

 She loves to stay warm by the blow dryer

 swaddled nice and cozy. She really doesn't care for swings though. She would much rather be bounced.

 Working on her neck muscles to look at daddy

 Small enough to take baths in the sink

 Napping at church on her first Sunday

 And the highlight for this month is Aunt Emilee came to visit! They love each other! 

Thanks for coming all this way Emilee! You're the best! 

The many faces of Elsie.

Pictures of Elsie

Christiana wanted to use Elsie to model some new born headbands for her shop and of course I said yes. Her friend Candice was trading her professional photos for some headbands for her own little sweetie- piper. I was only expecting a few and since Elsie was already 6 weeks and its best to do newborns within the first week they are born because they stay really sleepy I didnt know how they were going to go. It seriously took a couple hours to get them and we had to have hands on her the whole time and a blow dryer (she LOVES the blow dryer.) Candice did a whole newborn photoshoot for free. Seriously so nice! Anyways without further explaining here are some of my favorites of my little model.
