At this very minute that I am blogging (3:38 p.m.), Ellie is 4 weeks old exactly. I didn't plan it to be at the exact time, that was coincidental. I can't believe it was four weeks ago that she came into our lives. She is doing very well. At her last doctor's appointment, she weighed 7 pounds and 15 ounces and was 21 inches long, but that was two weeks ago. I think she weighs at least 8 and 1/2 pounds by now, but I'm not sure. We are getting better sleep (especially Weston- he sleeps through nighttime feedings) and she really only wakes up twice during the night. She is getting a little bit fussy in the evenings, but I've read that's pretty normal. We are trying to do tummy time, but it's hard to remember and she's only now starting to like it. One of our favorite things she does is laugh in her sleep. She gets a huge "gummy-grin" on her face and starts to breathe heavy like a dog panting. It's so funny we can't help but laugh. Ellie is starting to make more noises that aren't crying and it's fun to mimic her. She has been a lot of fun and we are excited to watch her grow even more.
Yay more pics! I love being able to see her even though we are so far away. You need to get some videos on the blog so we can hear her cute little noises =)

You know it is interesting that all the husbands I have heard about have the same talent for sleeping through a baby as it cries at night. Did you notice that the moment you became a mother your sense of hearing doubled.
