time flies.

Miss Elle is almost 12 weeks old!  At her two month visit she weighed in at 12 pounds 1 ounce and everything on her seems to be growing except her tiny little feet!  Everyone thinks she is a doll, literally.  On her blessing day I went in the church library to get some paper and the librarian thought she was a doll and so did one of the moms at the boys' preschool.  She was so tiny and perfect!  Now she is still perfect, but not so tiny!

At two months she started sleeping 5 to 7 hours every few nights.  Now she consistently sleeps from 10 pm to around 5 or 6 am.  She loves to be wrapped up and swaddled when she is tired and she adores her binky!  She doesn't need it at night to sleep though.  She loves her brothers and smiles at them all of the time and doesn't get bugged when the poke and pet her.  She coos at her daddy and gives me smiles all of the time.  I especially love when I go in to get her in the morning and she smiles so big her eyes smile too!  She is an angel!  We all adore her. 

The boys are hard to keep up with these days.  They swim for at least four hours or run around the park for three and never get worn out.  In fact, they went to their first soccer practice the other night and ran around for an hour and a half and then wanted to go to the pool afterwards!  They have really excelled at hurting each other and driving me crazy these days.  I am still grateful they have each other because for the most part they get along and have somebody to pay attention to them.  As long as we are not home and not in a store they do pretty well.  That means we will be at the park, pool or beach all summer long.  And Matt is on grocery store duty for sure.
