11 weeks old!!







May 7th we went for our 2 month check-up and vaccinatons. Sarah Ella weighed 10lbs and 13oz and was 23" long. This put her in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. I decided to go ahead and give Sarah Ella all the recommened vaccines but we didn't give them all in one visit. I wanted to see if she was going to have any reaction to each vaccine. She did great! She did have an elevated temp. and some fussiness, but I think anyone would after getting those shots!



We went to Florida (Grayton Beach) last weekend for my friend Sam and Jason's wedding. We took Fefe, Grandpa and Aunt KK to watch Sarah Ella while Adam and I enjoyed wedding activities. Sarah Ella did great on her first road trip. It took about 7hrs and we stopped only once each way to feed her. I had bought all this baby gear to take her on the beach and wound up not using any of it! It was too windy and hot for such a little baby. Maybe next year we will let her get some sand between her toes.



Sarah Ella is getting stronger everyday! She likes to stand up now and look around (of course while being supported!) She also can lift her head pretty far when she is on her tummy. She is smiling a lot and makes happy/squeaky/laughing noises!! It is precious. She still sticks her bottom lip out when she is unhappy which is so cute! She has been sleeping through the night since mother's day. During the day she is starting to be awake a lot more. I will put her down for a nap and when I go to check on her she is wide awake - not making a peep! She is just the best baby ever!

Visit with Taylor Rogers

Taylor Rogers came for a visit last night- she brought her Cookie and Grandpa with her. Sarah Ella looks a little sassy in this picture with Taylor and I hope it's not a indication of what to expect from her when she is older! However, being my daughter it probably is!
Sarah Ella is awake a lot more now. Last night she chose to be really awake from 9pm-1am which is not normal for her. She usually goes to sleep at 11am and then wakes up at 4am. I go to work at 7:30am and of course I give her a lot of kisses before I leave (and Adam gets one too!) Then about 8am she wakes her daddy up to feed her. Adam will watch her until 10am. Then either Fefe, Grandpa or our housekeeper, Ms. Kay, will watch her until I get done working at 5pm. I am only working about 3 days a week so I get to be with her 4 days a week! Sarah Ella has just started to notice her mobile and loves her reflection! She also loves the itsy bitsy spider song. The other day I asked Adam to sing her a song. He decided to sing the entire Vanilla Ice song Ice Ice Baby! It was so funny! Sarah Ella just stared at him!
Our big news last week is that she has graduated from new born diapers to size ones! I was a little sad, but I'm so happy she is growing well. We will got this week for our 2 months check-up and vaccinations :( I wonder how much she will weigh...we are guessing about 11lbs.
