You can spot a new mom by the callous on her hand from carrying the infant car seat. I noticed a few weeks ago a rough spot on the palm of my hand and couldn't figure out what it was from. I finally realized that it was from lugging around Elly in her car seat. She only weighs about 10 pounds now, but that seat is a booger to carry to and fro! Can't wait until she starts walking...but then we will have a whole new set of challenges! Ahhh, parenthood!

Chewing on her cud
Many times throughout the day I get the privilege of nursing my precious little girl. From my position I get a great view of her tiny face and simply gaze at her beauty. I often see her lying still with her eyes shut and chewing her little mouth like a cow chews on its cud....it is strange and I am not quit sure what she is doing. I have see other babies doing this too. Maybe she is sucking on her tongue or gnawing on her lips. Whatever it is, she looks too cute and love her the same!

Family Time
We traveled to my sisters last weekend to visit with family, it was so nice to get out of Puyallup! Elly did well, she slept the entire 2 1/2 hour drive - Praise the Lord! My Grandparents (dad's parents) got to meet great grandchild #14 for the first time! We ate, played and even went to my nephew Cody's football game - Go Jets!

1 month and growing
Ellyson turned 1 month old this week! It has been a long month getting adjusted to life as a new mom. Most of our days consist of eating, crying and eating. Nursing babies eat ALL of the time, who knew? No wonder why she has gained 2 lbs since birth (way to go Elly!)She is having a hard time staying asleep, but we are working on that with the help of a few tips from the doctor.
This weekend we are heading to my sisters house in Washougal for a baby shower and to meet her great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and our favorite friends! I am looking forward to seeing everyone, but not so excited to be out of our comfort zone...hopefully we do okay.
Dance, Dance, Dance
Today Carter's preschool class went to a dance studio for a field trip. I would like to say that he had a blast, but he got really cranky and tired and did not participate most of the time. Well, I guess that he is not going to win us a trophy on Dancing with the Stars in 20 years!Monday, October 6, 2008
Off to Church
On Saturday night Ellyson got to go to church for the first time. Carter thought that she would go to class and learn about Jesus too...but I had to let him know that she was just going to hang out with mommy in her "class". It was nice to not only get out of the house for a little while, but to introduce Elly to all of our friends at church. I can't wait it see her grow in friendships and in the Lord as she grows up surrounded by all the fabulous people at P4square!! Check out our church.... www.p4square.com
