Growing...



As of last tuesday, Ellie weighs 11lb 13 oz. Not huge for a 4.5 month old, but she gained a pound over the last two weeks. She is still really long, and has grown out of some of her 6 month shirts by length. She is wearing a 12-month sleeper in the picture.

We've been getting a ton of snow, and the boys really like helping Adam shovel the driveway:

  2. OMGosh, Emily!!! Ellie is bigger than Joshua! He's 15 lbs but still in his 3-6 months clothes because he still is little. She looks so big in photos! All that breastmilk!

    Your son looks all cozy! :)

  4. Ellie's little hands are so cute and chubby sticking out of her sleeper. She looks so healthy. Keep up the dedicated work of keeping her away from sickness. We would still like to come and visit sometime. Sorry last week didn't work out. This week my family is visiting here. So we will see what next week brings as far as runny noses and such...
    Ethan and Seth are praying for little Ellie in their prayers!

  5. Em,

    Love the pictures! We will be happy to trade some of our rain for some of your snow!!

    So happy to hear about Ellie's weight gain.

    Love and many prayers,

    Julie & Philip

  6. Dear Vedras,
    I finally figured out how to post a comment. A sure sign of aging--technology-related incompetence.

    Just wanted to let you know I've been keeping up with all of you through the web page and praising God with you for all of his blessings--the small improvements in Ellie and so many healthy weeks.

    Your snow picture made me shudder. :) We had a 70 degree day this week--my kind of winter.

    Say hi to everyone for me!
    God's blessing on all of you,
    Rachel

  7. Wow! A pound in just two weeks - perhaps all that extra sleep was part of her growth spurt pattern! How wonderful!

    I love that "shovel." Allegra keeps asking when she can ride her bike. It surprises me that she can even remember a world without snow since I scarcely can. I guess we all have the spring fever.

    Praying for you!
