Ellen's 1 Month

We can hardly believe that Ellen is already one month old!  I have heard all of my friends say this for years....  Where does the time go?  I don't remember time going this fast before Ellen was born.  I know it didn't go this fast when I was nine months pregnant.  :)

Over the last month Ellen has to be the most photographed baby ever.  Okay, I know that's not true but our phones and cameras are overloaded with pictures of our sweet baby girl.  I thought I would share pictures of all we have been up to this month.  I dare not share them all on Facebook or I will look like a crazy lady.  ;)  I just can't get enough of her cuteness. 

Here is what Ellen has been up to this month.

The nurses at the hospital made this little hat for Ellen.  That little bow made me so happy!  :)

 

Right from birth we made sure Ellen knew she would be a husker fan.

 

At the hospital Ellen had her first bath.  She wasn't a fan to say the least.  Now at home she loves the water.  A good bath can always calm her down. 

 

Grandpa getting his last cuddles in before catching his flight back to California.  We can't wait for him to be back in Nebraska soon! 

In Ellen's first months she has gotten more kisses then I can count.  Seriously!  I can't stop kissing those sweet little cheeks. 

Grandma Evenson got to stay the first two weeks with us.  She took care of both Ellen and me.  :)  It was such a special time and I don't know what we would have done without her great help around the clock.  This picture is from the day we took Ellen home from the hospital. 

Heber has adjusted to Ellen very well.  This is a picture of him laying on a blanket Drew brought him from the hospital that smelled like Ellen.  He loves having another human around the house. 

We love laying around watching all the funny faces that Ellen will make.  This one is too funny!

 

Grandma Henning celebrated her birthday with us.  She stayed for a week and helped make our transition to  a family of three so much easier.   

Happy Birthday Grandma and happy St. Patrick's day.  She is our lucky charm indeed!

Ellen even got to spend time with both Grandma's at the same time.  This is a picture of the changing of the guards.  Grandma Evenson was leaving and Grandma Henning was coming to stay.

This is how Ellen spends most of her days.  I can't help but hold her most of the time.  She will learn to sleep in a crib another time.  :)

This is how Ellen spends most of her nights.  :)  As she is getting older she is getting better with sleeping at night.  However, she is ALWAYS this wide awake at 4am.  She thinks this is when I should really start my day.  :)

Already Ellen is spending time with her nose in a book.

I'm slightly jealous of her wardrobe.  Each day she has something new and adorable to wear.  I however seem to be in the same yoga pants and hoodie each day.  That's the great thing about having a baby..... no one notices you anymore!

We LOVE when Drew comes home from work.  If you can't tell from this picture he is one popular guy at our house.  Ellen is consistently fussy at night from 8-10pm.  Drew is so good at calming her down.  She is a Daddy's girl already. 

 

More kisses and love for this sweet little face.

 

Ellen got to meet Grandpa Great and Grandma Great.  It was so special! 

 

 

Ellen loves playing on the floor and tummy time.  Now that she is more alert we are having so much fun during her wake times.  She loves watching Heber.  She is looking at him in this picture.  

 

 

We have had one amazing month becoming a family of three.  God is good!
